CBJ Prospect Thread III

[Jackets16]

I'll ask this question now, not implying anything but do you guys think Rychel could pull a Jenner next year? They both took pretty big steps each year. Or is Jenner just a rare breed of player?

I think he could, because like Jenner, he plays the type of game that translates well to the NHL.

Jenner -Wennberg- Rychel

2 prospects in 1 night have scored more goals than the whole Slovan team for the year. Relevant.

They heard you and dumped Dano to the 4th line, limited his ice-time to 8 minutes, scored 8 goals and won 2 games in a row. They played against the 2 worst KHL team though.

 

[JrussJacket]

Could Dano leave and play in the AHL if he wanted? Just curious

He's got contract with Slovan so he can't just leave without their permission. They could work something out and just let Dano go, but I don't think he'd give up his chance to play at the Olympics.

I saw the 1st game they won he was back down to 8 min. The handful of games before that he was getting better ice time. I'd like to know more about the situation over there. As a team they've had issues scoring all year, and ice time seems to fluctuate with most of the guys almost game to game. Who knows. I look forward to watching him in the WJC. Looking at his ice time compared to others I'd say there's probably no chance he makes the Olympic team.

Nearly three points per game? I'll take that.

Nice to see prospect working their way up rather than thrown in the deep end.

What's going on with the scoring in the WHL? The leading scorer has 17 points in 5 games. There are over 50 players averaging at least a point a game. It's become a higher scoring league than the Q.

Is it lack of goaltending? Lack of depth at defense? Too many good teams blowing out the bad teams?

Not to take anything away from Oliver, but many of his points have come in games that are 9-2, 10-4, 6-4 wins.

Good question. But to your last point, that is the only way in which you are going to score 17 points in 5 games. Those are the scores I would expect.

I expected an uptick in his production, but this is impressive. Might simply be a product of playing with Petan who had 120 points last season. Portland did have 3 players with 110+ points last season, so I'm not sure this is really a true surprise.

He is still the leading scorer on his team and that is all I care about. The number of goals his team is scoring would only be a factor, IMO, if he wasn't one of the guys scoring goals.

Rychel 1+3 so far. Little less than 10 mins left on 3rd period.

Small sample size, me thinks.

There is a huge disparity between the top two teams in the US division (Portland, Spokane) and the teams that they have played (Tri City, Seattle, Everett, Prince George, Victoria). Prince George may take the cake for worst team in junior hockey this year; mainly due to having virtually no mobility and unproven goaltending, as has been evidenced early on. The rest of the US Division (Tri, Seattle, Everett) is pretty young ... Everett likely being the best of the three, and they will be hard pressed to reach 80 points in the standings this year - mainly due to Kevin Constantwine. Portland and Spokane are both good bets to reach the 100+ point plateau.

Mitch Holmberg is at such a torrid pace for a couple of reasons: Mainly, nobody has challenged him physically yet. He and fellow overager Mike Aviani have had great chemistry for three years now, but have flown under the radar a little bit. These guys are incredibly talented; Aviani has great hands and can feed Holmberg the puck ... and Holmberg may be the most dangerous sniper in the league. Couple all of that with the matchups they have had to start the year, and it's easy to see why they're dominating.

As for Bjorkstrand, playing alongside guys like Nic Petan never hurts ... Petan is the reigning WHL scoring champion.

The pace won't keep up ... the leading scorer will, once again, probably be right in the 110 point range.

Markus Søberg scored his 7th goal of the season in a 5-3 Frölunda J20 team win. The 7 goals are tied for the league lead #CBJ #J20Windians

He scored another goal in 4:8 Frolunda loss and now leads the J20 SuperElit in goals alone. He's also tied for 3rd in points with 12.
Wondering why he has twice as many goals as assists.

 

[Jussi]

Korpisalo will start tomorrow for Jokerit.

Lets in 3 soft goals, gets pulled in the second period.

Wennberg looks for Frolunda, scored on a rebound backhand goal infront of the net in the 1st period.

 

[Fro]

Korpisalo appears to be having a year to forget this year

How's Forsberg been doing?
