Crazy. Over a goal a game. Hopefully he pans out at the next level

yeah, i hope so too

Carson Rehkopf is on a mission. I think he is playing at an elite level now, and he’s raising the bar for everybody else to follow him.

 

[LeProspector]

Insane season. noone expected this

 

[Raistlin]

this is what a good coach and system can do for development. Last year was a gong show in kitchener. This year, while they can win without him, but with him, that PP with Sop, Misa and Bruz is dominant.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

45 goals this season

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Kitchener had a rough stretch with injuries and it looked like he wasn't 100% either but after a long break he looks to be himself again.

Also, its Jussi Ahokas's first year as their HC, ups and downs was to be expected
- still, helluva 1st season

 

[Artorius Horus T]

2+4=6 game...

he hasn't taken face-offs much at all in his last 4 games (5 face-offs)
was he put to wing?

last 4 games : 7+7=14

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Only 7 pts back of 1st in OHL scoring. 6 games played less than Goyette who holds the lead.

Yes…has moved to wing and looking really good there.

Who is the better prospect between him and Denver Barkey?

Who is the better prospect between him and Denver Barkey?

Probably the one that scores twice as many goals and is 40 lbs heavier.

I haven't watched Barkey, you'd have to tell me why Barkey would be in the same value category as Rehkopf.

Barkey is a better skater and they have similar point totals, similar draft ranking and selection. Barkey was one of the final WJC cuts and Rehkopf narrowly made the team.

Jussi Ahokas doing his magic's again.

I’d bet a lot of money Seattle rejects that trade and Philly takes it in a hurry. 5’9 vs 6’1 too.

Unbeleivable goal in OT for his 50th of the season.

Is he really 6' 3" as stated on the tweet above? Also curious if those who watch him regularly think he'll stay at wing at the next level.

He is most definitely a lanky dude. If not 6' 3" then pretty darn close. As for position, I think he'll probably end up as a winger at the NHL level. Not sure he's got the defensive chops for centre in the NHL, but he can definitely produce offense.

We do need more wingers, so that works out .. . Does he need to put on a decent amount of muscle to be ready for the pros? I am not as concerned about him being physical but more about him not being outmuscled and/or losing battles?
