Prospect Info: 53rd Overall (Round 2) Jack Studnicka (F)

[Montecristo]

It's funny that everyone sees a defensive center and immediately thinks "hey this guy sounds a lot like the best 2 way center in the leagues history." Let's be a little more realistic when making comps. Like this one

"great on the forecheck and can kill penalties with aplomb. Owns good speed and is extremely tenacious. Has excellent two-way ability. Can also be used on the power play."

Is that a description for studnicka or mike fisher? Word for word it's mike fisher but it could be for studnicka as well. If he becomes fisher it's a fantastic pick. And fisher is no bergeron. Let's set our sights on these 2nd round picks a little lower. Even if it is ceiling we are talking about. Every 2 way guy that comes along should not be given the ceiling of a hall of fame 4 time selke winner. Sometimes a hard working 3rd liner is a sufficient ceiling.

 

[Ratty]

Chiarelli will remember this pick 'till his dying days.

 

[PB37]

This makes me feel a little better about passing on Robert Thomas. I'm looking forward to seeing how he develops. For whatever reason, this club seems to do excellent work with drafting in the 2nd round.

I read that he had 23 points in the last 20 games after his team unloaded some pieces at the deadline and was a huge reason they still made the playoffs. Then led his team In scoring the playoffs with 15 points in 11 games. Excited to see what he can do next year.

It seems like he will hold a full-time bigger role next season. Looking forward to his develop, my expectations aren't too high yet. But we've had some great drafting in the later rounds.

Looks to be a late bloomer. I'm not sure why, but I have a good feeling about Jack making the squad in the next couple seasons.

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

I don't know how as a fan you don't root for a guy to make the NHL so that we can all call him Stud. Wish him well.

 

[PB37]

I've been reading more about Stud and watching several clips on youtube. I'm on board with this kid, seems like a solid player.

 

[Gator Mike]

I remember watching his dad play for Maine in the late 80's.

Dang it, I'm old.

Just a heads up, Jack will be joining Kirk, Reed and myself on the podcast today. I'll try to remember to ask him what his nickname is.

I hope to catch up with his GM today and add that into the podcast if at all possible.

His nickname is Studs

So, my prediction for Jack is in for the season: 30 goals, 45 assists.

Will he get any WJC love? If not, how come?

He looked like a future player in camp but I am not knowledgeable about the dynamics/politics of WJC selection.

I'll go 40-55-95. I saw a ton of potential in him.

Possible. He's been a Hockey Canada guy at the Under 17, Under 18 and the Ivan Hlinka. If he hadn't been on any of those (think Jesse Gabrielle) then I think his chances were slim and none.

2-1-3 halfway through game 1.

I didn't see the game but that's a nice stat line.

2g 2a +4 11/19 faceoffs

Only 2nd star as they gave the 1st to rookie and 2020 (!) draft eligible Nick Wong who got the hat trick.


I like the start to his season. Let's see if he can keep it up over the next 67 games.

 

[Jani8]

I'm willing to make a bet that "The Stud" is not finishing his season at 136g + 136a = 272 points with a +272
