Prospect Info: 2016 Leafs Pick - 179th Overall (STL) - Nicolas Mattinen - D - London [6-4/220]

[Mr Hockey]

Or someone with puck skills..or other transferable skills outside of 6'6

So Ryan O'connel is a good pick and should at least make the Marlies. right? 7th rd pick, good skills and only 6 1"

He is sooooo slow. Huge though. Not very physical either

Like most CHL players, big or small, they just never develop into anything more than JR players. its a gamble

Umm..the chl is by far the biggest feeder to the NHL. A lot don't make it, but a lot do as well.

I know the CHL, I played in the OHL ... The odds are not good for 3rd+ and undrafted players to make it

No shit eh? You're telling me the odds are against me if I'm drafted in the 3rd+ round?

The chl stystem is still probably your best chance to make the NHL .

I'm not arguing against the CHL being a great system.

We really need the Leafs back.

HFL is so bored they are talking about Mattinen again

this little discussion was really just about drafting, different skillsets

 

[PromoterDave]

Is this guy done? Any news on him?

 

[Its not your fault]

I can’t believe that he was on the team 2.5 years ago. Feels more like 10

This needs to be said more right about now.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

He will probably get an ELC from someone. Big body, NHL level shot, shoots right, etc. Skating is not great, but it's passable.

Leafs won't want him I don't think, but someone like Ottawa should give him an ELC.

 

[PromoterDave]

I would sign him for the Marlies
