I just came across this, Steen is in the KHL now
Started the season consistently playing 15 minutes a night, but played 20 minutes last game against Byrnas.
Hopefully we can slow the Brandon Carlo comps because he’s a left-shot, 6’4” defenseman.
He himself said that’s who he models him game after but he seems to have more offensive skill than Carlo. Unless I’m confusing him with Mason Langenbrunner.
Andersson was part of the Kase deal not the Ritchie.Hopefully makes up for the loss of Andersson in the Nick Ritchie trade.
Andersson was part of the Kase deal not the Ritchie.
So the Smith signing probably means Studnicka can concentrate on what the Bs need him to be...a great center ? Don’t want Seattle snagging Studs!
I mean honest to god is use your entire post to argue the exact opposite side of your arguement. There’s an awful lot of bending and stretching done herepeople are crapping on Sweeney and his team's ability to find kids that can play... lets remember he got control in may 2015... here is what the team did in just the first 3-4 years of his run {I hesitate to judge the last 2 years because 18 year olds really take longer than just 2 years to show their true color}
the real history of don sweeney finding kids that can play
------------------------------------------------------------
we complain about who isnt making it... and we say more people should have made it... but lets look at reality
sweeney took over the decesion making in 2015
the team drafted
jake debrusk... an established 20 goal scorer
brandon carlo... a legitimate second pair dman
jeremy lauzon... showing promise he is now a regular
jakub zboril... we shall see
dan vladar... on pace to become a possible backup goalie
AND
signed noel acciari and im going to count Frank Vatrano and austin czarnik too, all as college ufa...
5 regular nhl players... austin czarnik has had a 2 year contract with another organization and possibly zboril/vladar will make it 7 or 8 nhl guys from 1 single year... the 2015 draft/college ufa class was a huge success. will senyshyn earn a regular job in the nhl now? i see some bruin insiders arguing that we should promote cameron hughes to be our utility 13th forward... wow... this is an outstanding draft/recruitment year
in 2016
we take absolute standout charlie mcavoy as a STEAL at pick number 14!!!
trent federic is clearly on pace to play... maybe as a 4th liner?
ryan lingren has become a regular in new york
im going to call this 3 more nhl regulars... remember this is only 4 years ago and we are drafting 18 year olds. federic is still projected to play
2017
urho vaakanainen looked very good for his 7 game tryout... but then had the reported huge injury/concusion issue... we shall see
jack studnicka is a guy most fans were screaming to be put into the lineup in a scoring role for the playoffs... hes got to be considered a hit
jeremy swayman is a kid dom the ohl scout is super high on...
thats 3 hits or potential hits out of 2017
2018
axel andersson demonstrated he had significant trade value... whether he makes it or not is still undetermined
jakub lauko super impressed a few of our talent evaluators here at HF but hes a project still
curtin hall is a rapid improving guy in college alot of our posters who have seen him rave about him
dustyn mcfaul is a kid dom keeps singing the praise of and considers him a massive steal for us in the 6th round... will he play? who knows
and... we signed karson kuhlman who is already semi-established as an nhl regular
2019
i hear people are high on john beecher having a future
i also hear people saying watch out for quinn olson
honestly... you really cant grade a draft in the first 2 years... its so guess work
but in 2015
basically 6 guys who will be nhl regulars
2016
3 guys who will be nhl regulars... 1 a superstar
2017
odds say at least 2 make it... goalies are so unpredictable
2018
lets say they all fail??? i mean who really knows after just 3 years
seeney has basically 3 drafts that we might reasonably grade
X/X/X {no first line guarantees}
Debrusk/Studnicka/X {looks like he found 2 secon liners}
X/X/Vatrano {is like a 20 goal guy for florida}
trent Federic/Noel Accairi/Karson Kuhlman {looks like a hell of a 4th line to me
Austin Czarnik {bubble guy at this point}
Ryan Lingren/Charlie McAvoy
urho Vaakanainen/Brandon Carlo
Jacub Zboril/Jeremy Lauzon
{holy crap we have been drafting an entire defense corp in such a short time... how about adding nick wolfe/jack ahcan to this mix?}
danial vladar... probably wont be a starter... might not even be a regular backup i suppose
this is TEN FREAKING ROSTER SPOTS FILLED GREAT in just basically 3-4 years of draft history... holy crap!!! thats amazing
but... i suppose we reached for someone? or missed someone?
like every other one of the 30 teams has done lmfao
complain complain complain... but where is credit when credit is due?
They will need a gun because he’s not eligibleSo the Smith signing probably means Studnicka can concentrate on what the Bs need him to be...a great center ? Don’t want Seattle snagging Studs!
