Prospect Info: Senators Prospect Talk

[BondraTime]

Is he a "great skater"? From what I saw in the summer he looked okay, especially for his size, but I'd be hard pressed to call him a great skater.

I have never watched him live, only tv/online, so I am not the guy to ask about that and I don't want to say something that's not correct. I was just going by my limited viewings and some quotes from the Sens and Hockey Canada.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

None of the comparisons I've read so far come close to Paul, imo.

He plays like Jamie Benn-lite. Hanzal/Anisimov type player. Guys who are tall and can lay the body, play full ice and just really smart players with long reach and nose for the net.

Of course I'm talking playing styles, not production. I still needa watch more games to get a read on that.

I can see hanzal/anisimov. I actually really see hanzal.

Whats Paul's intensity like?

 

[Laoghaire]

Whats Paul's intensity like?

Intinsety?

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Intinsety?

When i think of intensity i think of what Alfie and Fisher bring to the ice. Come out flying and dont let up till their shift is over

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Whats Paul's intensity like?

It's one of his best qualities. He's very tenacious and hard-working player, that's why I compared him to Benn and Hanzal, they play hard and with a purpose every shift.

On other news Noesen is out for four months. Six games played the past two years

wow i actually forgot about noesen. this is another injury?

 

[playasRus]

Isn't Noesen's projection very comparable to Lazars?

 

[starling]

Wow. This guy can't catch a break (no pun intended)

 

[ATdaisuki]

Isn't Noesen's projection very comparable to Lazars?

i think so. guy has the potential to be a beast if he can stay healthy and put everything together. one of those players that always seem to do better when the pressure was on. he had a high ppg in the playoffs than the regular season. played penalty kill, power play, down a goal, up a goal, first minute of the game and last minute of the game. i was upset we traded him, actually.

Jesus.

Poor guy. Sounds like his career might get swept out from under him at this point. You can't miss that much prime developmental time and not be worse off from it.

See: Hishon, Joey.

He injured his Achilles

wow poor guy, looks more and more like a Jarrod Maidens case (even if injuries are different)... Making the NHL is very hard so IF he can still pull it off after missing so much key development time, hats off.

He injured his Achilles

Really sucks. Also sucks that it would probably have to be brought up in the inevitable HF "who won the trade"

 

[Bileur]

He injured his Achilles

That's a tough one.

 

[BonkTastic]

He injured his Achilles

So he'll effectively be out of hockey until he's almost 23 years old? He'll still be a rookie in the AHL after basically sitting out two full seasons of the most important developmental time a prospect can have... and then still another year or two until his Achilles is "back to normal" (assuming it ever is)?

That's a tough hurdle to overcome. I'm not confident.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Jesus.

Jared Cowen?

 

[BonkTastic]

Jared Cowen?

Hasn't missed as much time as Hishon/Noesen, but he's definitely another guy who would probably be better than he is now if he hadn't missed time & had so many lower body issues.

 

[Quo]

The early time frame on Noesen's return is four months. (Orange County Register reporter.)

In OSH-NB strong firsts for Paul/Lindberg-OTT, Wood-COL, Smith-CGY, Dal Colle-NYI. Flashes from Liberati-VAN.

Tweet from Corey Pronman on Twitter:

2-1 Gens. 1+1 for Lindberg, 1A for Paul.

I watch a replay of the 67s against the Generals a few weeks ago and wasn't too excited about Lindberg but he was on his 3rd game in 3 nights so I kept that in mind.

Watched a national broadcast of a Gens game and was much more impressed, used his speed pretty well, can protect the puck in the neutral zone. He seems to be improving a ton. Makes me really wish Zib would have played a full season in Junior after being drafted.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Man, I feel devastated for Noesen. The guy has top 6 potential and he's every coaches dream.

I still think he'll make something out of himself, injuries have played big toll on him before and he's overcome it, hopefully he can do it again but this is proving to be too much for any young player.

You always want to win a trade and hope the guys going the other way don't pan out as you'd expect but never like this.

 

[starling]

Watched parts of the NB-OSH game.
A couple of nice assists from Paul and Lindberg and one hell of a snap shot by Lindberg for a GWG. Lindberg got a first star of the game too.

Do you mean brought up by you, in this post?
