Six point night.

I haven't looked at the highlights so I can't say if it was all luck or not, but all 5 of those assists were secondary assists.

And now a goal. Production machine right now.

That vector quantity definition brings flashbacks of physics and just how lost I was. But if you've got a shot like Zell, then it's au natural.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Not throwing cold water on him I'm excited about the kid but these smaller dmen are so hard to project. That being said he's doing exactly what you want him to do, he's raising his value if nothing else

 

[KaseMeOutside]

As a defenseman. That if he was born 5 days later would be in this upcoming draft. Absolutely ridiculous production.

And this right here is a big reason to be excited if he was putting up these numbers in his draft year he would be getting alot of support as a high picks

 

[AngelDuck]

Even without Zegras and Drysdale, our prospect pool is still above average. Pretty impressive.

Our 2021 draft looks ridiculous so far: McTavish, Pastujov, Zelwegger, Tschigerl all having very strong D+1 years

Honestly, it feels like we’ve just crushed the past 3 drafts. The only swing and a miss vibe I’m getting so far is Colangelo although he’s been injured a ton so you still have to hold out some hope

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

I wonder if we go for a defenseman in 2022. Our defense core would be restocked and looking good.

If you guys had to ‘cut’ one out of Thrun, LaCombe and Zellweger, who would you let go?

LaCombe without a second of hesitation.

id give up lacombe and a 3rd before Thrun or Zellweger.

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Probably lacombe but he was booming before this season

 

[Static]

McTavish's game postponed today.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

LaCombe without a second of hesitation.

this made me laugh b/c I thought of LaCombe without hesitation as well. And I'm one of his biggest fans too!

With LaCombe, I think he's also got the highest potential trade value. He's got the great mix of speed like Zellweger with the height and weight like Thrun. (LaCombe is actually 10 pounds heavier than Thrun?!) And he's still evolving as a defenseman to pair with his offense. I'd rather try to keep him, tbh, especially after reading that this season he's been playing RD as a LHD. We don't have a lot of great RHD prospects at the ready. Moore could be three to four years away.

I really want to know where Zel would be going in 2022 if he was born a week later.

He is having an insane year.

im sure he’d go higher (maybe significantly), but he would also be downgraded with the “ he is very old for his draft class” narrative.

My concern about LaCombe is that he appears to play a very soft game that I don't think will translate well at the next level. If he can improve his intensity and add some physicality to his game then I'll start liking his chances more of making it at the NHL level.

Lacombe and it’s not even close. He might have a higher ceiling than Thrun but he’s much less likely to hit it, at least based on everything we’ve seen so far. Thrun likely is a bottom pairing D at worst with the potential to be a complementary #3. And Zellweger, if he can figure out how to play against bigger players, could be a dynamic second pairing guy. Thrun and Zellweger actually make a good D pairing at the next level.

Looks like they took an assist away from him on the 1st goal.

The season ticket holders commenting on that post... I really like their remarks.

 

[GunnarStahl]

Tschigerl had a really good short handed chance today

[bsu]

Sick play. I hope he's with SD next season.

 

[Kalv]

He is having an insane year.

For comparison, Eklund is Oct 12 bday.
Zel is 11 months younger, from the same draft class.
I think Zel would be pushing for top 10 or higher with his play lately, in the upcoming draft.
He's about to take over the scoring race for D in that league. He already has if you look at PPG

 

[duxfan1101]

Pastujov with a neat little primary assist

 

[Static]

Thrun has an assist for Harvard.
