Prospect Info: CBJ Prospect Thread VIII

[EspenK]

This is for me and @major major

Being somewhat ignorant of Monster's number and body shapes who was that? Stenlund?

 

[Doggy]

The score was already 3-2 (according to the screen) and Dalpe scored goal #4 last night.

Seeing Tex get the playing time and building the excitement around his future makes me sad that Elvis is hanging out in the press box for the CBJ with his thumb up his ass when he could be getting real experience with the Monsters.

I don't know if this was Elvis' demand or the CBJ's preference but it does seem like a bit of a head shaker to me. Can anyone else explain it.

Yeah, here are only 2 fans of him, me and major.

 

[Monk]

Should all the other Stenlund fans chime in now or what?

There are OTHER ones?!!

There are OTHER ones?!!

From the first few prospect voting threads

Abramov, add Stenlund.

Foudy add Stenlund

Gavrikov add Stenlund.

Elvis, add Stenlund.

And this is where it starts to get hard. Texier add Stenlund.

I truly believe Stenlund is gonna grab a bottom 6 spot sometime this season. Between injuries and unproven depth a couple of these kids have a golden opportunity to prove the are NHL ready and I think Stenlunds game will be easiest to transition into the NHL. His size, shot and on ice IQ make him a perfect breakout candidate, if he can put in some work into his skating I don't think he'll have a problem sticking. He already understands what it takes to be a center (or on the roster at all) in Columbus under Torts(yes I know the video is a year old) Forces a turnover, gets the puck to the point, initiates contact in front of the net and then sneaks back door for an easy goal. I know it's just a clip, but video of him is rare. Excited that we'll actually get to see him in action this season. I think he might take some time to adjust in Cleveland but I see him coming in and filling a role similar to Johansen in his first season or two. Bottom 6 center who can (hopefully) take some harder matchups to relieve pressure off of the top 6.

Yes it's Stenlund, he looks a bit like mini-Malkin to me.

It was Elvis' demand. He didn't want to play in Cleveland. He's just here to burn a contract.

But he's unique, an special and one of a kind!

I think if I get to Columbus, of course ... they’re gonna meet me and I’m, uh, I’m … not like normal goalie. I think I’m crazy and a little bit different than other goalies, right?

That whole interview...

Hedger twitter feed, if anyone interested.

[Doggy]

Monsters are 3-0-1 since Tex arrived and I know its only four gams but he sure is making it look easy right now.

 

[EDM]

Very good news to hear about Tex

 

[Toe Pick]

Yes it's Stenlund, he looks a bit like mini-Malkin to me.

He completely reminds me of Svitov. It’s a shame he didn’t come back as I think he was really stating to find his game under Hitch.
