Prospect Info: CBJ Prospect Thread VIII

Was Vehvilainen playing in that game?

Can’t f***ing wait to see Tex. I haven’t been this excited to see a prospect in awhile.

No, they had 1st place locked up.

Bemström scored most goals and he was also #1 with 10 PP goals out of all the players in SHL.

He missed some games and still won. IIRC he surpassed Naslund. He tallied Forsberg and he might've surpassed him as well as an U20 player goalscoring-wise in Elitserien/SHL. Only Elias Pettersson had more goals (24).

His shot is amazing, I think he's NHL ready.


Edit; He played 47 games, 23 goals on 92 shots. TOI: 13:46.

The guy who finished 2nd played 52 games, 21 goals on 153 shots. TOI: 18:29. He's also 26 years old and played on the team that are the #1 seed going into the playoffs.

Well his shot is NHL ready.

I don't think this team is a great environment for a kid to come on and develop, and play through his warts. The coach instinctively benches anyone new, and freaks out at little mistakes. I could see Bemstrom joining the team and getting stuck in a Bjorkstrand role, where he plays on the PP but gets inconsistent opportunity the rest of the time. Not that there isn't value in that role - as is Bjorkstrand adds a lot - but if we hope that Bemstrom can develop into something more than that, into a guy who can make plays and thrive in different game situations, then his best place to start next year is probably not in the NHL.

couple weeks ago someone posted a clip of him working for the puck along the boards

it was encouraging

Elvis lost game 3 - 4:5. It's 13 goals in 3 games allowed.
Edit: Well it's not horrible like last game, idk what goal i would blame him.

LESSSGOOOOO

There is nothing exciting to play under John Madden Monsters, nothing... poor guy.

Yeah, I don't mind. Let him stay in Sweden! He plays for my favourite team, we'll take good care of him!

Edit: as you can see on my avatar I know your feeling all too well! My avatar is from when Torts left the Rangers, f*** I need a new one haha...

That's hilarious.

The next time he gets fired some of us might like to use that avatar, make sure to come back then.

The only avatar that will be used when he's fired.

Its always confusing to see people wish for the firing of the best thing that ever happened to the team.

Whats that a coach takes over a perinial bottom 10 team and has never missed the playoffs, broke the record for wins in 3 years, had the best record in team history, winningest american born coach in nhl history, won the jack adams his first full season here, Stanley cup winner, I can go on but it doesnt matter. f*** success lets rebuild. Guys like Anderson, Jenner, Atkinson, PLD, and fligs THRIVE under coaches like Torts. Why change the style of the team to fit 1 player because the ONLY player I see MAYBE thriving in another system is Bjorkstrand. Our 3RW.

He has a responsibility (heavy imo on third goal). In general we played very poorly defensively (like the whole season). He made no miracles either.

I think some people here want the Jackets to lose and miss the playoffs.

give that man a Venti!

I don't drink coffee...I am more of an ice cream guy. Specifically Graeters!!!

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I'm not a big sweets guy, but I'll spend the $ and go Jeni's every time.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

TFW signs entry level deal.

Blue Jackets sign Fix-Wolansky to entry level contract

 

[Doggy]

Kole with two more goals last night. Not sure if he is just on a hot streak or if his Columbus debut was motivation or confidence...or both. Seven goals in his last ten games, nine goals in his last thirteen games.

 

[Maylo]

Elvis season is over, Lugano get swept in 4 games, 5:4 OT in last game.

What will your short-term future be now?
"I know that you, looking at the rumors that have been there, are interested to know if I will go to North America already. I don't know, I'll call my agent on Sunday and we'll see what the situation will be, but I don't think I'll stay long in Lugano. But I repeat, I can't tell you anything because I have no idea what I'm going to do. "

In anticipation of next year, however, it might be good for you to play a few games overseas already ...
"It would be nice to go right now to understand and taste the taste of this world, because we all see that world only on television or PlayStation. We don't really know what it means, so for me it will be a novelty, a beautiful experience that I can't wait to live. Clearly, however, I will never forget where I come from and which is my home.Now I really don't know if I'll go to North America already or if I'll go to the national team, or if I'll go there first and then go to the national team. I really don't know, I'll have to hear my agent on Sunday. "

His best game in the series. Plenty of big saves in OT.
Good luck for his adventure with you. I hope he can fulfill his dream of becoming a NHL superstar.

Can someone tell me something about Kukan? Any chance he can make it to NHL? Not great stats in AHL so far....

He's currently our 7th defenseman, and has played sparingly throughout the year. He's nothing special.

Cmon now , the kid is only 25, and played what 35 games in his nhl career . I certainly can see he has potential , great skater , seems to be a pretty good passer . I think we’re a little spoiled around here , how quick our defenseman have developed

I tend to agree he could develop. I think he actually has more upside than Harry but right now Harry is deservedly ahead of him. Because of our D line up with Gavorik on his way, Kukan’s best chance to make his mark wil likely be elsewhere should that chance arise.

He might be Scott Harrington at best
