BureBurrito Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Another 2nd rounder gone...Dickinson was a complete moronic mess by Benning. Cost us 2 picks for 1 year of him. But not sure how Stillman helps the NHL club? Is there another big pickup coming in? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not as bad as some suggest in regards to trading 2nd round picks. But. When you look at where those draft positions were and who was available it gets kind of jaw clenching. I am never ever a fan of trading picks to shed weight. Could have or should have ridden it out, but maybe this means a Horvat extension or a larger trade is coming soon. I think another trade is coming for sure. A Horvat extension doesn't affect this year's cap... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but ensuring he IS in fact signed and the numbers are concrete allows for other moves to made with a longer period of time than just the TDL in mind 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SilentSam Posted October 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2022 Was a scouting report on him going into the draft in 2016.. 6’ 1” 200 lbs shoots left: Riley Stillman is an extremely mobile defenceman, powered by his strong skating technique. He has good speed in both directions, coupled with a good first step and rapid acceleration. Stillman has excellent edgework and agility. He combines this with great gap control to be very hard to beat in one-one-one situations. He is able to get a lot of power out of his stride, which allows him to muscle throw checks, but also gives him the ability to explode when changing directions, so he doesn’t lose much in terms of speed when he makes a quick cut. Stillman also has good balance. The offensive numbers may not have been great, but Stillman shows a lot of offensive tools. As mentioned earlier, he really improved as the season went on, and this was very evident in his offensive improvements. He uses strong stick handling and combines it with his skating skill to move the puck up the ice efficiently and lead the rush. Stillman has the poise to walk the line on the power play and open up passing and shooting lanes. He is a good passer, who can get the transition game started with a good first pass, as well as quarter back things from the point. Stillman has the vision to find openings, and the skill to feather the puck through tight spaces. Stillman also has a decent slap shot, and a heavy writer shot with an accurate release. He gets his shot on net, and through heavy traffic. Stillman also understands how to keep his shot low to generate more opportunities for his teammates to get deflections and rebounds. His hockey IQ is very high. Stillman’s defensive game is also well developed. As mentioned he is difficult to beat one-on-one. Those who try can often find themselves flattened with a strong open ice hit. He also has very good positioning and is willing to battle along the boards and in front of the net. Stillman understands how to cut down passing and shooting lanes and is a willing and able shot blocker. There is a lot of untapped potential in Riley Stillman. Playing as a rookie, on a weaker OHL club, the numbers may not show it, but he has a lot of tools. There is a good chance that he will be able to greatly improve those numbers next year. While his game is raw, he could become a top four defenceman with proper development. Stillman’s style is comparable to Marc-Edouard Vlasic of the San Jose Sharks, but this is a stylistic comparison only and not based on skill or potential. 1 6 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't super familiar with him prior to today; I like what I see so far though. Getting a useful player back makes the price to dump the contract a lot more palatable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
