Given what happened on January 2010 to, ahem, certain Blackhawks players after a night out in Vancouver, I am sure Tyler has been reminded by his dad to avoid The Roxy at all costs.

Hate this pick for that. Absolutely inexcusable.

Better wait and see. If he turns out, he’s Judd’s pick, if not Jim’s.Pretty sure we need to get Judd and our US scouts the benefit of the doubt.
Our scouts have been on fire in US program and college hockey recentlyEverything I've read and seen on this kid since we drafted him makes me think it's a very solid 3rd round pick. Low ceiling, but a reasonable bet to make the NHL as a good bottom six forward. I'm liking him so far. He just needs to put on a bit of muscle

I suppose I (and many others) could be swayed by his Dad's past when thinking what he will be. However, you say that his pre-draft offensive numbers don't suggest a top 6 forward, so that is largely what I'm basing it on.How much of that projection is due to his last name?
I actually see Madden as a high ceiling mid floor type prospect. He's a bit like Gaudette with better speed who kind of underachieved offensively relative to what the Canucks/Brackett thinks he can be. Take away his current lack of size and his offensive production prior to the draft, there's not much in the way of weaknesses and he has high-end speed and ability to control the puck and make plays at speed. But he hasn't produced the type of offensive numbers that suggests a high end player, so while he has a high ceiling, he's not a sure thing as far as top 6 is concerned but he can quickly erase that if he keeps developing in college. For a high 3rd round pick, he's a good prospect and looks to be a solid value pick.

I actually think the Canucks could use more of these type of prospects/young guys that project to be bottom sixer's. I'm sure lots of you will disagree, but I view guys like Palmu, Jasek, Goldobin (obviously), Leipsic, Lind, Dahlen as guys that either produce offensively in the NHL or play in the AHL/Europe. We need some home grown bottom six forwards (and the Granlund types don't count). I'm confident Gaudette will be a quality NHL with as a good 3C. Madden, Lockwood, and maybe Gadjovich also fit the bill.
Thats some mighty high praise there doc, i think you could be on to somethingHaven't had a chance to watch the games but he's taking lots of shots and taking the most faceoffs on the team. Pretty good signs for a freshman center. At prospects camp he looked like a first rounder to me, lots of speed, skill, hockey sense. At the same age he's better than Adam Gaudette IMO.
We will not change the type of convo we have about him so its PURELY for your administration Zombie Man. Doesnt t matter none to meShould I split Madden's draft thread off into a separate player discussion thread now that his season/NCAA career is underway? Your call.
