13-14 Prospects Thread Version XXI: Finn 2nd. in PPG OHL Defenders

[DD03]

Game in Sudbury cancelled due to poor ice conditions.

Heard there was a giant rut in the ice or something.

How ironic
2 goals for gauthier erp sorry bustier

 

[daethfromabove1979]

Agreed.

We know Mantha and Shinkaruk can score in junior. Obviously they have the potential to be good NHLers but there are some deficiencies in their games that dont make them blue chip prospects.

from what i've seen from Mantha, he will be a player.. hell Drouin and Mantha were the only players at the WJC worth a damn, Burakovsky also stood out for Sweden.. I didn't mind the Gauthier pick at the time but I'm starting to question it, watching his game makes me think he doesn't quite have what it takes but hopefully he proves me wrong

Probably reads this board, the power of Interactif!

Good for him, but at this stage, maybe we should just write off this season. Let him regroup and see what kind of season he can have as a 19 year old.

There is still like 30% of the season to go. There is no need to say its a failure season.
Lets see if he can build off this game. I dont declare failures to quickly.

There is a reason why i dont call clarkson contract a fail. There is lots of time. Plus david is playing really well lately.

Isn't there about 12 games to go? 18% of the season?

I counted them off, Rimouski has 10 games left, I didn't want to burst Mike's bubble. Freddy needs 22 points to match last year's 60 points.

Think he will get there?

 

[mikebel111*]

Nevermind. His 2nd goal changed to an assist.
Still a good night.
15-24 on draws

Right ulf. Forgot the WJHC. Still season isnt a write off

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Watched him last night, dude has some great hands.

He was very noticeable for Sweden at the World's, a winger with size and hands. How this one got by us, I don't know. Especially with Bergman on staff.

Bergman doesn't make the calls, so who knows what his thoughts were.

2 of 5 were Euro's this year, but Burke's gone ...

Finn now +50!

Marlies are going to be interesting with Finn, Loov, Nilsson perhaps on the team next year.

Good problem to have. Plus i didnt realize loov is coming over as well. Seems a little quick

Imagine a d core of
Percy-granberg (though hopefully one of them make the team next season or both)
Nilsson-finn
Macwilliam-loov (macwilliam in same boat as percy and granberg)

Loov is older though.

I don't know if either are coming over, but it would be a good start getting them into the program.

Granberg is RHD.

Okay than it makes sense

Anyone been watching the NCAA guys?

 

[Peasy]

Guelph is so stacked, theyre in North Bay next thursday, may have to go to another game after McDavid and Brown left me disappointed

 

[Mikeyg]

fred better at least hit 15 goals this season or pretty much all hope is lost

 

[Stephen]

Biggs and Gauthier kind of remind me of late 90s big body picks everyone was making in the Lindros era arms race.

 

[ULF_55]

I wanted him, but I believed he'd show improvement.

Size, skating, awareness add experience and you should see improvement no?

TBH who cares about this year, he's still 18 years old.

If next year at this time he's shown no improvement maybe we worry.

He has to prove he can't play.

What if he gets 14 goals and passes to his teammate on an empty net 2-0 . Will you let it slide ?

Oh, he is such a bust if that happens
