Depending how some of these kids pan out, we are going to have some good trade baits here for some potential offense.

It really feels like they are growing a "bank account" for defenceman trades. It takes some years to develop them, but at some point we have too many good guys.

Good

LD Kyle Aucoin, 5'11 - 19y

Is that enough depth?

More like enough height! Only one guy under 6ft. Let's hope they pan out and we're stuck with a good problem of having too many Dmen. Interesting to see the pieces fall into place.

JOHANSSON - SEIDER

SY stocking up on D to trade 2 prospects (Sebrango & Viro for example) + 2nd, to CBJ for ZW !

Is that enough depth?

There's never enough depth. Just looking at that list, only 5-6 of those guys might be every day NHLers, and only Seider, Hronek, and maybe Edvinsson are top-4 guys. And it's not bad drafting, that's just how D prospects work.

Lindstrom is a 7th D on a playoff team.

You forgot Werenski.



Seriously though, the D pipeline is stacked. I bet we end up with Werensky and Hronek is traded, possibly in a deal for Werenski or a center.

 

[Henkka]

Added Plandowski.

6'0 Righty.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Is johansson really 6’1 now or is that a stretch ? He really could be something really special for us if he keeps on developing.

The Odd Couple (Jack Klugman-tv) or (Walter Matthau-movie)...Grumpy Old Men was based on the '68 Odd Couple movie, also featured Matthau. HM to Sesame St. character too, I totally get him lol.

 

[MVPete96]

Absurdly deep now. Just roll the dice on centers from here on out and we are ready to rock and roll

Depth is great, but it wouldn't matter as much if we didn't have those guys at the top.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Is johansson really 6’1 now or is that a stretch ? He really could be something really special for us if he keeps on developing.

I have no idea what his actual height it, but I think I recall reading that his dad and two brothers are all 6'3" so he could still have some more growing to do. I don't really know if people still grow past the age of 20 but it seems possible.

 

[Frk It]

Edvinsson, Buium, Johansson, Wallinder, Sebrango, McIsaac, Viro.... I like that group of LD.

There has been rumours that he has grown 2 inches from 6'0.

I added one inch.

Yeah... we really need this context in this thread. Without it, it really just seems like a list of guys that you can do for every team and every position.

Maybe I'm not excited enough after our last 10 years of failure... but even these rankings seem too optimistic to me. Nobody below Johansson has really proven anything and has a LONG way to go before they prove they can have NHL careers.

 

[Macoun]

Don’t we all just

There has been rumours that he has grown 2 inches from 6'0.

I added one inch.

isn’t it funny that all of us men always add that one extra inch to our height or body parts ?

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

I have no idea what his actual height it, but I think I recall reading that his dad and two brothers are all 6'3" so he could still have some more growing to do. I don't really know if people still grow past the age of 20 but it seems possible.

Men can grow up until 21-22

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Where are these rumors I would love to see them. If johansson is 6’2 that would be insanely awesome
