I know this is a complete fantasy but imagine the Steelheads with Martin returning and William Nylander wanting to play with his brother and for his dad.

Not comparing them as players, but Greer really seems to have ROR-like focus/drive. Which is very exciting given the tools he has to work with. I'll have to find some time to watch him in the next few years, cause he sounds like he's going to be another one of my favorites once I've seen enough of him. The confidence and dedication, with those tools, is basically everything you could ask for out of a project prospect.

Too bad Mississauga couldnt have built their team up like that last year. Wonder how it will work, they were a pretty big mess last year.
I can see why you say that cgf, not sure if that's who I'd compare Greer to though. I guess because ROR is intense but not aggressive and Greer certainly is. I do like intensity in players. Seems like Rantanen is a bit that way too.

They have a bunch of talent and should be better than last year based on that alone... but I don't think they make it past the first round of the playoffs. Boyd is just an awful coach.

Ugh, Wood is injured. First I've heard of this. Said he had hand surgery in Denver. Considering he came here I'd gather the Avs are watching over him at least.

Preseason night in the Q. Pepin finally had a good night 1G 1A for him. For the Huskies it was Beaudin's turn to have a big night and he scored 2G. I believe the Huskies won 7/8 of their preseason games.
And the Tbirds have listed Olhaver at 6'7, I'm interested to see how big this kid is in person.

Would be interested to know how severe the injury is/was, and what his recovery time looks like.

I wouldn't worry too much about the injury. He participated in camp and it likely showed up the Avs' physical. It was probably something minor.

I find that unlikely since he had the surgery in Denver. Entirely possible though.

You mean like the Avs wanted him to get something taken care of? Shouldn't he have had it done much closer to July? Then again who knows what "recent" means. Either way it's good the Avs are watching over him, good sign he gets signed. Although I assumed they would.

Yeah... say he had something like carpometacarpal bossing and the Avs wanted him to take care of it before it started causing issues.
I take recent as in over the summer.
Either way I would assume he would be back on the ice by the first game.

Here's your weekend prospect update
The Q was off this weekend in anticipation of their season openers on Friday. Apparently both Beaudin and Nantel are supposed to be the last NHL campers standing on that day for the Huskies and will play but will not be available and presumably be on their way to Denver the following day. No word on if this is the case for Meloche, Pepin and Boikov but their teams all open the season on Friday as well.
Bleackley did not dress for Red Deer's preseason game on Saturday. Olhaver played in Seattle's game on Saturday but not on Sunday. Here is what the Seattle media had to say about his goal.
OHL began their preseason on Sunday. Magyar scored 30 second into the game in a 4-0 win and added an assist. He was named second star of the game. With some good camp comments as well seems like he's getting off to a decent start. Kyle Wood as mentioned previously is not participating in OHL camp with his hand injury.
