Prospect Info: Senators Prospect Talk: It's now the 2015-16 edition

[Senator Stanley]

hopefully White signs his ECL soon cause i don't think I could handle rumours of him walking.

He'll be ready to turn pro before that becomes an issue.

 

[Viletho]

Ya. 2 years in the NCAA should be more than enough. Then at least a year in the AHL.

I'm hoping he has a great season than sign next year to play pro. He could play 1 or 2 years in the AHL and be a call up if needed.

Normally when they play in the NCAA, they're at school right? So maybe he will finish school first. Even if he enter the NHL(AHL) at 22, he's still going to be very young.

 

[Bileur]

going to be a lot higher as the season goes on

It's already a pretty good ranking. There are some damn good players just ahead of him.

 

[Six Assets]

Respect. BM better unsuspend him.

 

[Othello*]

Let him take all the time he wants.

 

[Philadelphia Collins]

Respect. BM better unsuspend him.

Terrible situation, but why couldn't he have spoken to somebody in the organization about this before taking off home? Hell, just send Murray a text, he of all people would understand

Totally agreed. Wikstrand could have and should have handled this differently. Seems a bit immature. If you are going away, let your boss know.

 

[BonkTastic]

Since returning to Sweden Mikael Wikstrand, on his own initiative, has had contact with Brian Murray via email.

– "I called Daniel Alfredsson today and explained myself. But my agents have handled the contact with Ottawa".

Wait, hold on... so he has personally talked to a newspaper about this, but he still isn't talking to the team?

This kid hasn't learned a god damned thing. I feel for him, Leukemia is awful and my heart goes out to him and his family during a very hard time, but this kid needs to sit down and have a one-on-one with Murray and the Sens.

First, that's what agents are for. They handle these situations, and get paid well for it. Second, as the you yourself quoted, Wikstrand himself reached out to Murray by email. He is likely referring to the negotiations over his status, which again, are the responsibility of the agent.

I'm not saying Wikstrand has handled this well or appropriately. But given where we are now, I don't fault him for using his agent.

 

[Proust*]

Wait, hold on... so he has personally talked to a newspaper about this, but he still isn't talking to the team?

I don't think it is unreasonable that given the incendiary legal context of his situation, his agents want to handle negotiation with the entity that has suspended him. This seems completely normal to me.

Him personally reaching out through informal channels is actually a good way to correspond given the above.

Much ado about nothing here...

It is an unfortunate situation for him and his family, but like you said, going to the media with this before even going directly to the team, to me, just seems like he's trying to leverage the situation and in turn put the Sens in a position where they are forced to let him play so that they don't look like the bad guy.

 

[DrEasy]

Yeah, I think both Bonk and Bahn Ahden are right: it is ok for Wik to use his agent to talk to Ottawa management, but then if he's trusting his agents to do the talking, maybe he shouldn't be talking directly to the press about the matter either? It can't be helping his agent's job.

Bracco going to Kitchener Rangers leaving Boston College

Bracco going to Kitchener Rangers leaving Boston College

Interesting decision.

 

[BondraTime]

Interesting decision.

I heard from a reputable source last year that he wanted to play for the Rangers over BC but felt obligated because of his commitment.

Perron now has the longest point streak in CHL this season. 14 games, 13 goals, 13 assists and counting. Has points in every game he played.

Main board worthy.

26 points in 14 games, and yet he isn't even in the top-5 in scoring in the league.



The QMJHL is a silly place.

The QMJHL is a silly place.

Silly in that 4 of the 5 guys ahead of him have 4 more games played? He'd be in 2nd place in pts per game I beleive.

 

[Bileur]

In mid October Sylvain St-Laurent said in Le Droit that Gabriel Gagné should be getting back to the ice before the end of the month. Does anyone have an update? Hopefully we see him hit the ice soon.

Silly in the context of the high-school-level ppg that comes out of that league at times.

It wasn't a comment about where Perron fares in the scoring race compared to his peers, it was a comment about the scoring race in that league in general.

Not much different from other major junior leagues.

Top scoring in last 3 season:
Q: 129-120-110
W: 118-118-120
O: 129-128-109

Players with 100+ points last 3 season:
Q: 13
W: 13
O: 15

If the 5th leading scorer in the OHL had 18 games played at the same pace, he'd have 26.31 pts, so the same thing could very well happen to Perron over there. In the WHL, the 5th leading scorer is on pace for 31.85 pts in 18 games.

In fact, he's 2nd in pts per game among the Q (top 6 only, I didn't go further) and would be 2nd in the OHL, and 3rd in the WHL.

Bad rep hard to shed

 

[starling]

Perron with 4 assists playing against Chabot (1 assist). Perron won 5-2.
