Upcoming Signings - Lucas Raymond - Private Signing - Detroit City Sports

Not many rookies get a highlight video for their first month, impressive.

You can tell he processes the game very quickly, he knows what he's going to do before he even touches the puck. If he adds a little more bulk, I think he's the complete package.

This is what I've been saying, he goes to the high danger areas. It's a very pleasant surprise for me because I didn't see that in the SHL highlights last season. He knows what it takes to score in the NHL.

Last night's PP goal, he finds the soft spot where there's both a passing lane and a shooting lane. This is how Ovy gets all his PP goals. Just really smart hockey. The problem with the PP is that guys are just too stationary, Raymond doesn't just park his ass on the faceoff dot like Zadina does, he looks for the lanes.

Best Swedish point-scorer in NHL.

Man, has Sweden got bad on production, if 19-year-old can beat them all.

Nice to have him.

 

[FabricDetails]

TIL he has an older brother named Hugo in Division 2, haha.

[Henkka]

Seider is 97% BTW...

And the Finnish players 2.

And the Finnish players 2.

Yeah but we would expect Finland to be bad.

No they are usually better then the Swedes in resent years.

 

[mikerooooose]

Now do Zadina.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Does he finish the season with 60 points? I mean he just keeps producing. His skill level and IQ are off the charts, when he’s older and has more muscle and understands the game even better lookout. 90 point player in his prime.

Think he will be +100 point player in his prime.

Like, as a bit banged, in a crazy schedule, having bad games. And still at silent/bad night, he is on the scoresheet. Doing this as 19-year-old.

That's a superstar. It's like Pavel and Z.

Kinda useless stats considering he's top 12 currently in points...

 

[Eye of Ra]

No chance he gets loaned to WJC i assume? If it happens, it could be good to try Berggren in NHL until Raymond comes back.

Zero chance... I'm just wondering if he's gonna make the Olympic team lol

Indeed - he has the skillset to be a point per game player, or more...I sorta liken him to our version of a Kane, or Marner.

Am I alone on not wanting the NHL at the Olympics - especially considering it's in China of all places...

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

I still think it is much to early to write off Lafreniere. He is playing in a higher pressure market based on NY and current team expectations and also has the pressure of being the top guy which adds more pressure to the situation. I still think he is going to become a very good player yet.

I don't. Draft position means nothing once you're on the ice..

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

Back on Topic, Raymond is our Marcel Dionne (hopefully), but probably Marner, possibly Kane.

Early indications are he's the steal of the draft.

I love Olympic hockey, it is basically all star teams that actually try hard and play physical. The 2010 games in Vancouver on NHL sized ice is the best tournament I have ever watched, even though the ending sucked. Rafalski played out of his mind, was a lot of fun to watch.

So yes, I am really hoping for the NHL to send players, and hopefully not on Olympic sized ice. It promotes perimeter hockey which is not nearly as entertaining.
