elvis15 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 This has been posted across the various prospect threads, but we have three of our prospects nominated for college awards. Brock Boeser and William Lockwood - Hobey Baker Boeser and Lockwood are both in the preliminary nominees and currently have fan voting going on here: http://www.hobeybaker.com/vote Boeser has a chance even with his down year but it a ways back in the voting so a little Canucks fan help wouldn't hurt. Lockwood's way back but could be in the running next year. The next prospect's teammate, Zach Aston-Reese, is also in the voting for the Baker. Adam Gaudette - Walter Brown Award This award is for the best American born Div1 player in New England. Again, his teammate Aston-Reese is nominated, and they're up against pther Hobey Baker nominees in players like Clayton Keller and Charlie McAvoy: http://www.gonu.com/news/2017/2/7/mens-ice-hockey-aston-reese-and-gaudette-nominated-for-walter-brown-award.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Aston-Reese will be a Canuck as well. We just have to show him our depth chart and tell him that Megna has spent time on our top line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 anton reese, gaudette, boeser, juolevi and demko would be a great start on the next core. we can't rush them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis, the man himself, admitting that his thread may be redundant? Oh the irony... Just kidding. Seems thread worthy to me. Nice to see that our prospects are getting recognition. Makes me hopeful for the future of the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 I try hard not to, knowing the potential backlash... But good to know they're getting recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I guess Boeser is just being given the benefit of a doubt or something. His injury seems to have derailed this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 It's in part reputation I think, even if he's had a decent season by normal standards. It's just been by the standards he set last year that it's not as good. He won't win certainly as others are having better seasons this year.

goblix Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Good thread +1 Think Gaudette gets the Walter Brown award Hobey Baker award is tough to predict so many choices and not a ton of visibility within it. Think most of it dies down to playoff success anyways so anyone's game right now. Aston-Reese, would be a good pickup but I don't think he has the skill to be a top 6 in the NHL from what I've been reading he's more of a bottom 6 project . Free prospects are always nice to have though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Boeser has a shot of winning the Hobey if he heats up while others like Aston Reese, Keller and McAvoy go cold. But if Brock doesn't win it, Lockwood would have a good chance as he's had a solid season so far with Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Lockwood's a stretch, as is Boeser even if he picks it up. There are plenty of players having better years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly doubt either will win it unless Boeser goes on an absolute tear and goes on a crazy streak averaging 2-3 points a night for the rest of the season.
