Prospect Info: CHL, NCAA & European Prospects Thread | Part XII

[RSeen]

I think it is way to early to think McLeod will be ready for 2C next season. He may get that opportunity because of Zajac not being able to play there anymore and Zacha not being good enough, but I'll reserve judgement until training camp at the least.

I am glad though that we are being patient with him.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

McLeod scored again. Two today.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Mikey doing what I hoped he would.

 

[R8Devs]

wonder if gets traded to a better team.

 

[Devils Dominion]

wonder if gets traded to a better team.

He would decline since his brother is on the team.

 

[Darkauron]

He would decline since his brother is on the team.

Because he cant handle being away from his brother. Sure.

 

[Devil X]

Because he cant handle being away from his brother. Sure.

On great, Scott 2.0 we better draft his brother!!

Maybe they both get traded.

I didnt realize junior players could decline a trade.

 

[Zippy316]

Mississauga is one of the better teams in the league.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Mississauga is one of the better teams in the league.

No they arent. They are in dead last.

Team Canada’s next household name: Will Michael McLeod become a star at the world juniors?

Hope he lights it up.

A third of the way through the year, it's about time to look at our off-season prospect rankings. Some guys likely will shoot up the charts (Walsh, Studenic, Bratt, Davies, Chainey) while other guys will probably fall (Blackwood, Popugayev, Speers)

I think its safe to say Bratt might be a few spots higher.

Given how he looked in preseason this year, I'm going with highly doubtful.

Are we dropping guys like Wood who have graduated out?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Given how he looked in preseason this year, I'm going with highly doubtful.

yes, because teenagers are always finished products.

 

[devilsblood]

yes, because teenagers are always finished products.

Im talking next year.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

well, then what does how he played in preseason this year have to do with next year?

 

[devilsblood]

well, then what does how he played in preseason this year have to do with next year?

So then you think it's likely he is our #2 C next year?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

So then you think it's likely he is our #2 C next year?

I never said that.

But saying he SHOULDN'T be looked at for it NEXT YEAR given how he played in preseason THIS YEAR makes no sense

 

[Emperoreddy]

Given how he looked in preseason this year, I'm going with highly doubtful.

This is completely irrelevant to next year.

His year in juniors combined with WJC will tell a lot,more then a few preseason games.

[Emperoreddy]

It really is too bad Miss is terrible. Playoffs would be great for Mikey. Bingo wont be sniffing playoffs either.

I hope he gets traded to a contender.

 

[devilsblood]

I never said that.

But saying he SHOULDN'T be looked at for it NEXT YEAR given how he played in preseason THIS YEAR makes no sense

And I never said he shouldn't be looked at.

 

[devilsblood]

This is completely irrelevant to next year.

His year in juniors combined with WJC will tell a lot,more then a few preseason games.

It's not completely irrelevant to think a kid who is not ready for the NHL one year will not be the #2 center the next year.

Could he show tremendous growth this season. Sure. Do I expect it? Not to the point of him being our #2 C. Is that a knock? No.
