diesel_3 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I'm hoping Adam Brubacher has a good camp, He was named to the Atlantic Hockey Conference Gladiator Custom Mouthguards All-Rookie Team. 20 Pts in 34 games in his rookie season for R.I.T. (Tanev's Alma Mater) I watched him play in Powell River and he was a really good puck mover/puck rushing defenseman. Very smart, good hard 1st pass when not skating it out of his zone himself! He has had success everywhere he has played, even though, production wise, he strictly looks like an offensive D-man, he still plays solid D in his own zone. Last weekend I met Myles Powell, local kid and also Brubachers teammate with R.I.T and asked him a few questions. He said Brubacher should have a very good collegiate career and could easily play at the pro level if he keeps progressing. I didn't ask if he thought his chances were good at the prospects camp, figured he would have said yes, being his teammate and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannydog Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Can Ratelle play as well as he fights? I just checked and found more fighting highlites than hockey highlites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzuto&hatoum Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 5 on 5 in the first period, then 4 on 4 and 3 on 3. Possibly shootouts? Hope there's no chariot races or other inane antics. No injuries please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Zepp Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 For perspetive, 13 of the invites are older than Jake Virtanen...... (cue the haters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 It seems like they sent the invite to the wrong adress when you look at Simon Chen. Anyone ever seen him play or heard something? Undersized, bchl defensemen with nothing to show for production wise. Is it a "reaching over the border" type of situation? Canucks invite Chinese hockey player to prospects camp.. might get a few folks in China tuning into a Canucks game I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'm really impressed that the college kids will be there. I believe that they have to pay their own way so this is a big commitment for them to be coming but it also may indicate their commitment to eventually signing with the Canucks.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Kellenberger and Isaacson are the only invites that stand out as players who were ranked in the last draft. And Luchuk was a highly regarded re-entry last year. So some decent talent there. And as I said earlier, the NCAA crop of invites is pretty good. Just wish we'd brought in a few of the guys I'd mentioned as potential targets earlier in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Here's a good profile on Kellenberger (who was ranked the 4th best CJHL prospect): http://thehockeywriters.com/top-2017-nhl-draft-prospects-cjhl/ 4: Matthew Kellenberger – D – Oakville Blades (OJHL) Ranked 165th in NHL CSS Midterm; 74th in Final Matthew Kellenberger is an extremely smart, two-way defender who skates effortlessly. He remains cool and calm under pressure, using his strengths to buy himself time to make the best available play. Kellenberger has some offensive edge as well, often throwing long breakout passes, as well as a smart shot through screens from the blue-line. In his OJHL rookie campaign, Kellenberger was named to the First Team All-Prospects, while scoring 10 goals and 28 points in 51 games. He is admired for a smart, puck-moving style, while having the strength at 6’1″, 174 pounds to drive opponents to the outside. He also has a natural ability to pick opponents’ pockets and quickly transition the play to the offensive. Kellenberger is a Princeton University commit for 2018-19, and projects to be an intelligent two-way defenceman with off-the-charts hockey IQ. He is a perfect example of a kid who simply needs a little more time and experience to iron out the imperfections of his game, while becoming quicker and stronger.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 And here's a profile for Nick Isaacson (from last year obviously): https://www.google.ca/amp/s/prospectshockey.wordpress.com/2016/02/16/475/amp/ Quote Nick Isaacson (LW) – Lindsay Muskies (OJHL) – August.11.1999 – 6’2, 184 – Toronto, Ontario43 GP – 15 G – 11 A – 26 PTS – 30 PIM A rangy two-way forward with strong offensive instincts and a high compete level, Nick Isaacson has excelled thus far this season with the Lindsay Muskies of the OJHL. A player who displays impressive Hockey Sense, Isaacson shows an awareness in all three zones, that allows him to thrive both in possession and away from the puck. While Isaacson does show a combination of competitiveness, smarts and skill his skating is still a bit of a work in progress. Isaacson boasts and long stride and his able to generate good straight line speed, however he lacks fluidity to his stride along with an explosiveness in his first step. With that being said Isaacson can be tough to contain off the rush once he reaches his top speed as he combines impressive puck protection skills with deceptively quick hands to thrive on net drives and in tight. While not overly physical on a consistent bases, Isaacson does show a tenaciousness in puck pursuit and will finishes his checks. A player who transitions up ice well, Isaacson is argubably at his best in tight around the net where he uses his physical attributes along with quick hands and a nose for the net to excel. A player who shows an impressive confidence in possession, Isaacson has consistently produced for a weak Lindsay Muskies team this season and should be a near lock for the 2016-2017 version of the Peterborough Petes. EDIT: here's a more recent scouting report from HFBoards: Quote LW - Nicholas Isaacson - Peterborough PetesA budding offensive forward with a lot of skill. He is very young, and didn't put up great numbers this season, but he didn't have a lot of opportunity. Saw him a few times and it was evident that he is a confident offensive player, that should flourish with more opportunity. One of my late round sleeper picks who I expect to explode offensively next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add a 6 foot RD prospect is a really good thing. Aaron Luchuk looks like a good prospect to go after on this team as well. At least JB and company listens to somebody on here.
