2013-2014 CHL/NCAA/Euro Prospects thread 3.0

I wouldn't be surprised to see Nygren in Montreal next season. We had trouble getting Emelin over, but the results were worth the wait. Nygren with Beaulieu and Subban would give us 3 offensive dmen with size, including two right-handed ones. We'll see in September.

Nygren doesn't have "size". He's not small, but he's not a towering defenseman either.

6'1 is "good" size. He's not afraid of the physical play either.

 

[JuicyHam]

Vail with another assist tonight. He played really well especially on the pk he had a couple of chances on the pk that had a real good chance of going in.

You're correct in the context of the league. I was thinking in the context of this team. But at least he looks big...

 

[jaffy27]

Actually, I think the habs think he'll be ready for the NHL next year to "replace" Diaz.

So we're trading him to the Canucks??

He can be physical when necessary in Sweden. In Hamilton he was adjusting mostly.

Perhaps Nygren could be packaged with Markov in a deal with LA for Clifford, Toffoli and their 2014 1st pick. The Habs have the depth on defence and vice versa for LA, a trade which helps each team in the present and long term. Adding another sniper/center in Toffoli would be ideal, it depends what Lombardi sees in Nygren, quarterback for LA's 2nd PP perhaps.

Don't know if it is been mentioned here but Lehkonen is out for few more weeks. His team is not going to make the playoffs this year so he only has few games left this season. He doesn't have a contract for next year and he will not resign with Kalpa so it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Hopefully they are working to sign him. He's looked very good this year.

Thank god! Here's hoping for a better team.

Thank god! Here's hoping for a better team.

If what he stated is accurate, I'd like to see Lekhonen with the Bulldogs when he recovers from that injury, this would be a great audition for him, and if things work out would be good for the Dogs too.

If last year with Collberg was any indication.. the Habs might sign him to a PTO and have him play in Hamilton.

 

[Et le But]

I wouldn't mind if Lehkonen stays in Finland longer, ideally for a better team. Not sure if he fulfilled his military obligations yet.

Howevet if he's healthy enough to get a PTO for Hamilton, great. Not sure when he will be though, he played through injury at the WJC and is paying the price.

Good call.

The Habs drafted Collberg, Lehkonen and Hudon, all players of small stature, highly talented and play with intensity or passion. Their play leads to minor injuries and the Habs might be wise to enroll all three into the Gary Roberts program. That's like buying an insurance policy on vehicles one values, using quality parts, tuning them up and storing them properly. Then when they are needed, they are in top condition which leads to longer life and higher resale later!

Just common sense to treat Mercedes, Jags and Audi's with kid gloves, and that's what these players represent to the Habs future. Just my opinion.

Why would they sign him to a PTO when they signed him last summer to a 3 year entry level contract. http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=671505

They signed him to a PTO with the Bulldogs at the end of the season months before signing him to his NHL contract.

Mac Bennett with three assists tonight v. Penn State according to my Twitter.

He now have 12 points in 23 games. His best personnal year was 21 points, in 41 games, when he was a sophomore.

 

[Tyson]

Bozon with 3 points so far tonight including 24,25 goals

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Bozon gets the hattie! Glad he's back on track. I wouldn't count him out.

made a great end to end rush to set up the 7th goal

Minnesota vs. Michigan next week on the Big Ten Network

Goal and assist for MacMillan.. after a slow start he's starting to produce again.

About time. He started to produce just about when I named him my deception of the year....ahead of McCarron. He clearly didn't like that...

 

[Hansman]

Took my grandson to his first hockey game yesterday.We witnessed Tim Bozon score a hatrick.

Man ,he sure has a sweet wrister.

 

[goforit]

Watched Reway's game yesterday. He sure has a loooot of skills. He makes it look so easy... but IMO, he won't be able to play that floating game at the next level.

Right now, it's okay in the juniors because he can compensate with his skills and smartness, but it's going much more faster in the pros. Hope he'll adjust 'cause he's a real playmaker. And what a goad he scored.
