Prospect Info: Cale Fleury

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Interesting, why did he fall so far?

Because he's all skills and wanting in hockey IQ. The exact opposite of Brook, for example, who is all hockey IQ and wanting in skill. Between the two of them, I still kind of feel like we got only one toolbox, and only one set of tools to go in it. We'll see, though.

Habs about to start brain transplanting. Draft two players with certain skills and turn them into one Superstar.

Jale Bleury, they'll call him, after a Dragonball-like fusion.

Kootenay will be better but still not great. He'll be traded to a Regina/Kelowna as he's a late birthday so only has 1 more year of junior left.

A mid-season trade does seem likely.

ICE trade Fleury to Regina, get two players and three draft picks in return – Kootenay Ice

Looks like those of you that predicted a trade were right. Happy he gets a chance at a memorial cup before he ends his jr career but this Kootenay Ice fan considers this a sad day as he was my favourite ice player.

I have said it more than once that he is a much better player than where he was drafted.

 

[Whitesnake]

Awesome news! Finally a team to go with the player. Can't wait to see how it will translate.

What’s up with the Pats this season anyways? Sam Steel isn’t dominating like before.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I'm happy for Cale Fleury.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

What’s up with the Pats this season anyways? Sam Steel isn’t dominating like before.

A few key vets from last year graduated (Brooks,Leedahl and Hobbs in particular) and there's been a few missing pieces due to injury ( Austin Wagner and Nick Henry) .The balance/chemistry isn't quite the same right now. There's still a lot of offensive potential in the lineup though, hopefully Fleury will fill the hole Hobbs left on the blueline.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Fleury will be in the Memorial Cup, as well, this year as Regina hosts.

[montreal]

good for him to get that Memorial Cup experience, as I assume he's turning pro next season.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Really hope he's slotted with Mahura.

 

[Tyson]

30th point tonight in his 41st game. Looks like a decent pick so far

 

[Garnet76]

20pts 2G 18A in 24 games with the Pats.

 

[Tyson]

3 more assists tonight. Finally he is playing on a decent team

 

[Whitesnake]

Absolutely. Looking great so far.

 

[Tyson]

Fleury hits the 50 point mark in his 64th game. The trade made a huge difference

 

[TT1]

Much better player than Walford, god knows how Walford went ahead of him.

I had Walford in my list of guys to pick....but in NO WAY did I have him scheduled to go that early. I have no idea what they saw in him to choose him that soon.

Mind you, going back to Fleury, I also had him on my list, just like Brook, but there's a possibility that he becomes better than Josh. Like his progression so far.

 

[MrNasty]

Is he ready for the AHL or stay in the WHL?

 

[WinterLion]

He is a number 1C, or at the very least well on his way of being one. He's also a key building block for the Canucks and their next captain.

Maybe he's not going to be a premier #1 center, but that's not exactly the same thing.

No actually Fleury plays D.

 

[WinterLion]

Cale Fleury thread? Just read a dozen straight posts without mention of the guy. Is he ready for the AHL or stay in the WHL?

Absolutely gonna play pro hockey next year. Didn't we just sign him? He is big and relatively mobile and has a knack for jumping in to the play, especially off the forecheck. Doesn't skate as well as Petry and is a bit tougher, but might be able to have the same kind of impact eventually BEST CASE SCENARIO. He is around the same size and looks a bit like him as he skates heads up like him. He will likely need a few years in the AHL before we have a better idea.

He isn't signed yet. They signed Bitten and Pezzetta. Fleury is eligible to play pro next year so he could very well be signed in time for next season. But at this moment, he isn't signed yet.
