Prospect Info: 33rd overall Roby Jarventie LW FIN

[aragorn]

This is another guy who could go straight to Belleville next season if they wanted him to being a European player. Why not, he's got the size & speed, can score & is considered a decent playmaker, seems to have a little bit of everything. I would imagine he needs to put on more muscle & they need to work on his defensive side of the puck, but could be another dark horse for the Sens.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

What a lame-ass pick.

Judging by the reaction, he's going to be the next Shane Pinto!

I think he's an excellent pick here. He JUST turned 18 though so I don't think he'll be in Belleville this year (or probably next). He's 6'2 and 185 right now but his frame sure looks like he could add 20-25 lbs and he might still be growing. I compared his style to Zib in another thread but his fram kind of looks the same to me too. He could be a big, smooth skating forward who can shoot.

I'm pretty excited about this pick.

Yeah people were really down on Pinto at the time he was picked but 1 year later he’s being slotted into the 2C role in future lineup mocks around here.

[Xspyrit]

realistically speaking we get the ELC and the contract after that and then hes off to greater things but i am going to enjoy every f***ing game where we can call him our own.

Not necessarily, I mean look at Chabot... ELC + 8 years...

At some point, Melnyk will have to sell if his financial situation doesn't improve significantly

I'm still not that high on Pinto.

He put up a lot of points at the WJC but a lot of that was standing in front of the net.

Played on a line with Nicholas Robertson. He wasnt the one driving the line and creating the offense.

 

[Icelevel]

I think I like this one.

Isn't that where most of the goals are scored in the NHL?

It's a lot harder to stand in front of the net in the NHL.

Lazar was batting in rebounds in front of the net with McDavid.

Pinto was the best American forward all-around the whole tournament. Was out there for every situation.

That's how Mark Stone got his goals at the World Juniors too.

Well, he's a pretty big guy too & depending on who is on the other side should do okay I think. I still think Pinto is going to be a good player for this team down the road, I guess we'll see.

 

[NyQuil]

Please, I watched both guys play.

Are you honestly suggesting that Pinto reminds you of Mark Stone?

 

[BatherSeason]

I know nothing about this player. Nothing lol

You may be surprised to learn that he is Lassi's Thompson's current teammate.

 

[NyQuil]

I don't think so at all.

But I guess we disagree.

I will say that Pinto exceeded a lot of expectations and put up a lot of points.

PP, PK, was used as their #1 centre. Who was better? He was older than others so not unexpected either.

Personally I think Arthur Kaliyev showed more potential.

I felt that other guys on Team USA drove the offence more than Pinto did.

He played his role and did it well, but I didn't come out of that tournament thinking that he's going to be the best forward from that roster.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

Personally I think Arthur Kaliyev showed more potential.

Really? Completely disagree. He was certainly not better IMO. He was used on the fourth line a lot. I could get behind Zegras but that’s about it.

Well, USA fans were pretty miffed about coaching decisions regarding utilization (which they wouldn't shut up about) but you can't evaluate what didn't happen, so that's fair.

that wasn’t what I said though

 

[NyQuil]

I know, I was just clarifying.

When I see someone compare Pinto with Stone - Stone was a revelation at that tournament.

He was everywhere, he was involved in every play.

I'm hoping Pinto ends up as a 2/3 C but that puts him behind Stutzle and Norris and on par with White IMO.

No he wasnt, I assume you probalby didnt watch at all. Trevor Zegras was clearly their best forward and Robertson was the one driving that line.

Mark Stone in the NHL? No. From what I remember of Mark Stone at the World Juniors all those years ago? Yes.
