Those guys come out early (like in basketball) to play in the NHL. The four year guys tend to be complimentary players. Hard working and good players but not going to be game breakers. That's good perspective, thanks Alf. I guess Chris Tanev is the the best case scenario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many seem to believe his size and his ability to think the game are already at an NHL level. I think he starts in the AHL and gets called up in the new year. Until then, we have enough depth defenseman to slot it until he's ready. I honestly think he is the only defenseman in this draft that could jump into the league in D+1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedard Carlsson Fantili Michkov Benson Smith I dont think he goes before any of those players. After those 6, the 7-15 pick could play out in a number of different ways and the Canucks have several options in the top 12. Although, I do believe Canucks finally get some lotto luck and draft 2/3 OA. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen him outside the top 10 on some boards. Reinbacher I think goes between 6-9. He won’t make it outside of the top 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Just a reminder that Malinski and Cornell play today versus Boston University in their NCAA regional final. Winner punches their ticket to the Frozen Four. Game time 4pm ET, so 1pm local in Vancouver. The game should be available on TSN+ and the TSN app (likely with a stream of the ESPN broadcast). TSN+ will have the entire tournament: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 BU just scored. Cornell trailing 1-0 early in the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 For anyone watching the game, check out #18 Jay O’Brien for BU. You’ll remember him from the 2018 draft (19th overall). Good chance he hits free agency this year. It’s been rumoured Philly won’t sign him and will take the 2nd round compensation pick. O’Brien maybe hasn’t quite developed as well as hoped for such a high pick, but he’s still a solid player. He’s been dominant today on faceoffs and owns a solid overall FO%. Excellent skater with plenty of speed to burn. Not an elite offensive producer, but still solid, just a little under a point per game as an upperclassman. And he’s now 6’0”, 190 lbs, so decent size. RH shot centreman who might prove to be a good 3C at the NHL level. He might be worth a look on August 15th, if indeed he goes unsigned by the Flyers and hits free agency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Cornell to the power play. They’ll need a goal here. Halfway through the 3rd and down two goals. On a separate note, I’ve liked Jack Malone’s game today (Canucks 2019 6th rounder). Plays direct and with a lot of pressure. Strong on pucks. He also looks closer to 6’2”, 200+ to me, so maybe he’s even a little bigger than listed. I don’t think he’s done enough with his college career to earn an NHL ELC, but maybe an Abby deal?
