Prospect Info: 2014 Canucks summer camp

[Shane]

Shinkaruk's face seems to have matured a lot.

I can't wait to see how well he does in Utica (or does he go back to the dub?)

Fox should do very well in Utica, he has great skill for a guy who projects to be a pest. I like to think his potential is Burrows without reaching more than 25 goals at his peak/career year.

Hutton is really really growing on me.

I'd be shocked if Shinkaruk got sent back to juniors. Makes way more sense to have him in Utica where management has control over his development, and the option of bringing him up to the big club should the need ever arise.

 

[me2]

IIRC, He was measured at 208 pounds at the combine.

I don't think combine throw out faulty numbers like hockeydb.

TBF Hockeydb just writes down whatever they are given since they don't get the option of weighing them, not really their fault.

Combine I trust, no point in lying to the teams and I can't see them leaking false lists to the public.

 

[BrandonL]

that was a nice steal by him on Hutton for the Valk goal. Guy reminds me alot of Darren Helm. Hopefully he because more than a 3rd/4th line centre though.

Yea, personally, that was the highlight of the video for me. Mccann displayed a lot of different skills on that one play, will be excited to watch his development next season at the junior level.

You're not Dr. Sean Maguire from Good Will Hunting. You don't get to say that.

I'm unoriginal.

 

[Shareefruck]

Yeah I've never believed that number. He's much closer to 180 than his listed weight, havent seen much bulk in his upper or lower body. There's no way he weighs near what Kassian does.

He PLAYs like he's 200+ pounds, though.

 

[biturbo19]

virtanen looks young as hell, how is he 200+ pounds

i was like whos that scrawny kid next to shinkaruk

That's kind of the point i think. That's what a naturally "big frame" looks like. 200+ pounds with what obviously looks like room to add more bulk as he matures and trains without delving into that "roided up body builder" physique and compromising speed, agility, balance, etc.

As far as the whole "looking young" thing...that might be because he actually is really young.

 

[BobbyJazzLegs]

Fox went undrafted because of attitude problems? Wow. Canucks are putting him front and centre.

 

[Craz1bo1]

 

[The Stig]

I like him

Not 'attitude problems' per-say but something he did when he was younger at a party that was serious. Serious enough that his team suspended him then later traded him out of town.

 

[me2]

I like him

Failed to have the situation awareness to pass the phone to someone else to take the shot. Low IQ.

 

[fancouver]

Dane Fox says he is headed to Utica, but looking at those scrimmages, he has a natural scoring touch. Canucks should look at him.

 

[CherryToke]

Horvat did the grind in 45 min? not bad for a fatty.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Failed to have the situation awareness to pass the phone to someone else to take the shot. Low IQ.

Severe lack of intangibles

 

[fancouver]

Horvat's going to make the team along with Vey.

Higgins - Horvat - Vey


Just got to find a new home for Hansen.

Kesler-itis.

I don't know how he's going to survive in the NHL when we play the penguins and the ducks. Anyone know how he handles lightning, big cats or sharks?

 

[Hansen]

IIRC, He was measured at 208 pounds at the combine.

I don't think combine throw out faulty numbers like hockeydb.

Yup. Combine was 208 and IIHF weighed him in at 212 during the U18s

4th line. Based on your 3rd line, we have:

Hansen
Matthias
Dorsett
Richardson

To make a line out of. Hanen and Dorsett both play both wings while Matthias and Richardson play all forward positions.

Matthias - Richardson - Hansen
Hansen - Matthias - Dorsett

Either should make a good checking + energy line.

Why would Hansen leave? More depth = more success.

 

[mossey3535]

Why would Hansen leave? More depth = more success.

Why do we keep insisting on waiting for this guy to become even a 15 goal scorer?

More depth = more success when you're a legitemate contender, which we're not.

He and Higgins are our utility guys. I'd rather get rid of one and let a young guy make the roster especially when the 4th line is packed even if Dorsett doesn't play all the games.

I pick Higgins over Hansen.

 

[biturbo19]

Yeah. The "attitude problems" label doesn't really cover the issue in Fox's past. Hopefully its just that...in his past.

He scored 16 two years ago, was on pace for 17 during the lockout season, he scored 4 less than 15 in an absolutely horrid season that nobody could have predicted, unless his wife giving birth to twins has more to do with it than we think (my dad and step mom had twins and spent almost two years alternating nights with 4 hours of sleep). Im not ready to give up on him unless we're up against the cap and someone surprises by making the team and more than filling the role that he would play.

you want to see more of Hansen with Sedins?
