flickyoursedin Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thomas Harley a guy I liked at the end of the first round if we got an extra pick is picking up steam here in the updated rankings. Going to have to grab him with our mid teens pick with how we’re playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of CDC'rs on here whine about JB and how he blew the picks for Virtanen and Juolevi calling them "busts"??? Maybe now they get to see first hand from one of our divisional rivals how not to manage a team and have a bit more respect for the body of work that JB and the scouting staff have accomplished in 5 years at the helm 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isam Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Top prospects game was pretty good this year. Connor mcmichael stood out in the game along with kaliyev for me. Dylan Cozens just rocked it in the skills and off ice testing. Kid is a beast athletically and showed that he puts the time in the weight room.

Noble 6 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Krebs has been creating a lot of offence for his team, but he doesn't have the same production numbers as some of his comparables. Kootenay is a terrible team and he doesn't have much support at all. He just had a pretty good showing at the TPG (based on what I've heard) and it'll be tough to get a read on how his offense will translate. Dellandrea was in a similar position last year with the Firebirds. Sam Reinhart played for the Ice when he was drafted as well and they were terrible back then too. If a team believes he can generate with better players, then they'll take him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Just got around to watching the Prospect game finally. Bolduc's game was up and down but his size/skating ability is intriguing. Felt he was better when he was keeping his game simple. Harley seems like a rover, excellent skater but I wasn't crazy about his positioning & some of his decisions. Lasse Thompson was decent for team Orr, not as smooth a skater but I liked him a bit more than Harley. Solid puck mover. Overall pretty much all the D had their mistakes. Even Byram who was the best D in the game had his moments. Love his poise though, he won't be waiting long on draft day. Didn't see alot from Cozens but I really liked Krebs, such a smart player. That line with Kaliyev & Robertson was the best in the game. Robertson had probably the best game of anyone. You could see Ryan Suzuki's puck skills but I thought Robertson was better than him in this one. Also I wonder if both Cozens & Krebs are center's in the NHL or not. Could see both as wingers too. One other guy is Poulin. Don't know where he'll go, or what his offensive upside is. But I liked how he skated & his willingness to be physical. Obviously had the goal being strong infront of the net too. Can still use guys like that big time. Finally I liked Dach alot. Seemed to always be in position to take control of the puck. Another really smart player. Love his upside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Lots of draft rankings are out now and have Alex Newhook sagging in the rankings. Once thought to be in the top ten is now slipping to the early 20's. Not sure why but culd be a huge boon for us if thats where we will be selecting.

He's been improving all year round consistently, wouldn't be upset landing him later in the first if we could add another first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Just saw some video highlights of this Finnish prospect Patrik Puistola LW and he looks great with the puck on his stick. Kid can dangle and has a knack for scoring goals. Late 2nd or 3rd round guy I believe but the skill is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthycanuck Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The way Byram is playing, he might be shooting up to top 3 category by the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop Em Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 4 minutes ago, Horvat is a Boss said: I was at the game last night and he's a couple of levels above everyone else on the ice. He did get a little lucky too though, as he almost had an early end to his night when he tried to get a guy to fight in the second period and it would have been a secondary altercation. If the kid on the other team was smart, he would've dropped the gloves with him just to get him off the ice, especially because Byram had his goal and assist after that altercation. I like that he has a bit of attitude to his game, because his skill and vision are already off the charts. A lot can happen in the next few years, but I think the kids going to be a pretty special player in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen this one high-lite, but the guy looks like he has a very solid base, and elite skill. He's got to be drafted higher than 15, no?

Has size, doesn't use it much, pure goal scorer but needs work in his own zone big time. Not the best skater but improving compared to last year. He's got enough talent alone to have a decent NHL career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
