warrchief Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 It appears his speed is translating well at the NA junior level which is a great sign. From the clips I've seen, seems like a real steal in the 7th round from Benning and Co. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives a fair assessment everytime, as a journalist, he goes out of his way to find out these things himself...unlike our out house “main stream” journalists. Danial Gee is a breath of fresh air. Victor Perrson is fast and very powerful on his skates, plays his position extremely well, and reads opportunities incrediblely well. Seems he is not shy in close contact either. I don’t know if he will spend much time in the AHL when he eventually arrives there,. He fans in Loops’. must be really enjoying him play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred65 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I suspect the best move the kid made to join Kamloops, you can bet Vcr have eyes on him every game. I believe Swedish hockey don't like it but the greaater understanding they get of the NA style the better. It worked for Edler and it looks like it's working for Persson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rounding out an alright defensive prospect crop. No real deals but all having encouraging years save for Woo. Really early for them though. All guys are 2+ years away anyway too. Hopefully we are able to draft a solid RD in the next 2 years that can grow with the core. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree in general, every player is different and it sure didn't hurt EP to stay in Sweden. On fringe prospects I agree more, although a year of pro hockey before NA is still good for many Euros, but yeah, everyone is different as I said.

I also like them to get their feet wet in the junior leagues around North America, before transiting to the AHL/NHL... But I guess it all depends of, how good they are as players, at any given time. As stated by J-T it didn't hinder EP or neither Hogs or Podz to stay on the other side of the pond. Edited November 5, 2021 by spook007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persson reall does look like a very very good prospect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been really good to hear some positive news, in this rather indifferent start to the season. He does look very comfortable at this level. I would make a world of difference if a few of these later picks could support the main core over the next 2-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is part of the system that Benning has been implementing, where others never did pay attention to the farm and prospects. Getting that team in Abby has been instrumental to having control over development.. and a place to allow local late bloomers to get a good kick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will definitely benefit both players and management. The boy are more likely to get a call up now and for sure management will be able to ensure the coaching progression of the youth are as per plan. All round a massive improvement. Travel times aside its a win win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The farm team should be a tool, but not that many seem to graduate. To my way of thinking currently the best development routes for a playeris either NCAA or EU. WE were helped when Edler was drafted by Kelowna in the junior itnernational draft. One of the best moves mostly forgotten was when Gillis bought an AHL franchise. Prior to that we shared and usually got the wrong end of the stick just think last season sharing with Winnipeg, Silvos got one game in the season. The AHL team in Chicago was a disaster for years. Compare the development of Rathbone, Lind and Hogelander. Edited November 5, 2021 by Fred65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s all about to change for us over the next 1-2 years.. prospects will see the structure here, and local talent that have gone NCAA will see opportunities still exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope but I see the same folks in charge of the same things and likely they'll have the same results. You know what they say about insanity, keep repeat the same things over and over again but expect different results 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
