Alexander Wennberg

Who's your first line center now?

Auston Matthews

 

[Doug19]

I'm excited for this chance for Wennberg, I've believed that he is the most skilled player on this roster and I think he will be an excellent 1b center sooner rather than later.

 

[major major]

I think Foligno should be our top center.

I put this in the other thread too but folks need to at least consider it here before despairing over our center situation.

Since December 5th, Foligno has 13 pts in 11 games, and Wennberg has 13 pts in 14 games.

That doesn't bother me. Can only go up from here...or solidify last place

Saad-Wennberg-Foligno
Calvert-Dubinsky-Atkinson
Hartnell-Karlsson-Jenner
Boll-Campbell-Borque

Roll the first 3 lines, 4th grinder line.

You really went out on a limb with that prediction.

Much like the term "climate change".

Pretty much how I would have it when everyone is available.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

I channeled my inner-Yogi for that one

 

[Nordic*]

Started scoring some goals too, although rather ugly ones.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

when you deal your #1 scorer, you will take goals no matter if they are lasers to the upper corner or bouncing off the defensemans ass

We didn't trade our #1 scorer. He wasn't our #1 scorer since 13-14. Last year 2nd, this year 3rd or 4th.

 

[CBJx614]

Like I said in the other thread, he's almost matched last season's production in half the games played.

15 points in the last 20 games is pretty good.

 

[CBJx614]

I'm just worried with consistency. He seems to be pretty streaky. But I'll be happy if he continues this point every other game thing he's got going on right now

Unfortunately we have a ton of guys like that too. Hartnell, Saad, Cam, and wennberg are all really streaky.

Wennberg IMO has taken the #1 C role from dubi. Dubi just isn't that guy, and he's not playing very well right now.

He's young, and it's part of the growing pains of a young player.

 

[We Want Ten]

He's young, and it's part of the growing pains of a young player.

I was gonna say we seem to have a lot of young guys who have similar consistency issues.
Wennberg has played better (minus last game or so), hopefully he can stay healthy and keep his head up.

 

[Crede777]

IMO the biggest flaw in Wennberg's game is his shot. If he can improve it, he'll be a 20 - 30 goal, 60 - 70 point forward.

 

[EXTRAS]

U guys think he could be a solid 1St line centre in the future?

I really hope you are right but... I'm sorry, there's absolutely no way Wennberg will ever be a 60-70 point player. I just don't see that kind of production out of him ever. 55 points may be even too generous to top.

Another knock on Wennberg is he has to improve in the faceoff circle.. 42 percent for his career.

 

[cbj21]

U guys think he could be a solid 1St line centre in the future?

I have no problem seeing that.

 

[EspenK]

U guys think he could be a solid 1St line centre in the future?

I'd say better than 50-50. However, if we win the lottery I think he'll be just fine as a 2c.

 

[TaketheCannoli]

U guys think he could be a solid 1St line centre in the future?

Maybe. I could see him as a non-elite 1c. Similar to Koivu

 

[CBJWerenski8]

U guys think he could be a solid 1St line centre in the future?

Probably not. Good 2nd line center with responsibilities all over the ice. Very valuable
