[DaveG]

Yeah, we never saw a single glimpse of that Frederik Andersen guy the Canes drafted in the 7th.

thank god we got the one the Ducks drafted in the 2nd at least

[Stickpucker]

I'm not as low as some on Suzuki. Any idea if he gets a shot with the big boys this season?

[Cardiac Jerks]

We’re already in mid-August and we’re still just “talking” with other teams. Seems a bit weird this hasn’t been worked out yet. We’ve known for a long time we wouldn’t be back in Chicago.

Seems like it may be a bit more ironed out according to Luke:

[A Star is Burns]

If we had an affiliate this year, might have been worth a sign. But I doubt we miss out on much here.

I think WBS and Hershey makes sense to send prospects to

why? their parent teams are not just in conference but in division. I'd say Milwaukee (NSH) and either Henderson (Vegas) or Coachella Valley (SEA).

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Im guessing Milwaukee and Charlotte.

 

[Chrispy]

Im guessing Milwaukee and Charlotte.

I can see them making up with Charlotte for 1 season, especially if they pay Charlotte decently for 1 year.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Michael Kahn if that happens:

 

[spockBokk]

Good for him:

Velluci in WBS, and Hershey is always competitive.

I guess what we should do is help load up Chicagos biggest rival

Athletic annual review of under 22 pipeline
“Carolina has made a ton of picks in the last five years. In total, there are a lot of guys who were swings on skill and who are trending to misses”:

Canes are ranked 14th but although outside of Nishikin, Jarvis, Morrow and Nadeau, they are not highly bullish of draftees. Interestingly, they rate many of them as not up to NHL par skating wise.

Corey Pronman's NHL Pipeline Rankings: No. 14 Hurricanes led by Alexander Nikishin

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Pronman didn’t rate Necas’ skating very highly so I take his skating criticism with a grain of salt

He's also got Nikishin over Jarvis which I think is crazy. He's got guys like Ponomarev in the "chance to play games" category at the end that's just ranked alphabetically.

I've started not caring about his rankings. I don't think they're that good.

 

[Borsig]

why can't we just buy the checkers or something?

Isn't dundon like scrooge mcduck? How much can an AHL franchise cost?

To be fair, he was kinda baby Bambi his first couple years, being knocked off the puck by a stiff breeze or violent fart

Not sure Khan would even entertain selling to him at this point unless he offered just an absurd sum of money.

 

[spockBokk]

The exclusion of 22yr old Anttoni Honka from Pronman’s list makes me question a lot of his takes. Say what you will about his potential ability to defend, but Honka had an excellent first year in North America. To not include him, on top of what seems to be a misconception on Ponomarev too, seems quite suspect.

Im surprised that seeley was as high as he was because him and Honka struggled defensively.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Who is Tampa’s affiliate. They should be able to split with them, they haven’t had a draft pick in a decade.

Honka will always be an adventure in the d zone, but you’d have to hope his offense makes up for those deficiencies. Scoring at almost a .5pt pace, seems like he’s trending in a good direction.

In limited viewings, Seeley never really stood out to me, maybe that’s a good thing. Personally, I like the chances of Honka becoming a 3rd pair/PP guy much more than Seeley becoming a run of the mill 3rd pairing option. For that reason alone, I’m surprised Pronman completely ignores Honka.
