Value of: Ethan Bear for a Forward (<22 years old)

[ChaoticOrange]

I actually watch CHL games tho.. but if you think he's an "untouchable" lvl prospect i won't take that hope away from you, believe what you want.

I didn’t say untouchable, I said nearly untouchable. They’re different things. Nearly untouchable means if someone comes calling with a 2nd round pick or an average third liner you tell them where to go and precisely what route to get there.

Samorukov only moves in a slam dunk deal or as a part of a deal to get something really significant.

 

[Newsworthy]

Koivula maybe

 

[McSuper]

Samorukov and untouchable don't go together.. for example Bear was a much better prospect coming out of juniors..

Look up the coaching polls from OHL .

But how does this affect the Leafs???

 

[McSuper]

But how does this affect the Leafs???

It will when he in the NHL and he lays a body check on Matthews

 

[lakai17]

Koivula maybe

Decent 1 for 1 swap

 

[780il]

Koivula maybe

Never heard of him but after a quick google search seems like a decent swap

If you think this means anything you haven't been paying attention to the CHL for long enough.

lol

I am not comparing them , you keep doing that . LOL . I am saying Samorukov isn't a nothing prospect as you said he was . He took a giant leap forward and he have better tools then Bear . I see Bear being traded sooner or later and Samorukov becoming a fixture in the NHL on the Oilers

 

[CREW99AW]

Koivula maybe

Why would the isles,with a glut of blueline prospects and thin at center,move Otto who is developing well at center?

 

[McSuper]

If you think this means anything you haven't been paying attention to the CHL for long enough.

Been paying attention longer then you . Of course it means nothing until they do it in the NHL . But it is a good way to track a prospect progress .

 

[CycloneSweep]

Bear for Raddysh could make sense.
I think both will be NHLers.
I like Bear a lot but our AHL team is looking....very defense heavy starting next year.
LHD: Jones, Samorukov, Lagesson
RHD: Bouchard, Jones, Berglund, Persson, Bear

And thats just the prospects. Lowe and Day have been great for us and would be good to keep around down there.

I think the Oilers need to see if they believe Bear is NHL ready for this year and good enough to improve the team, if not a trade for a guy like Raddysh who could possibly play in the NHL next year would make tons of sense.

I totally agree. Raddysh was one of the targets I listed earlier in the thread.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I totally agree. Raddysh was one of the targets I listed earlier in the thread.

That said, I am not entirely sold on Raddysh. Bears point pace is extremely close to Raddysh's but Bear is 8 months older.

I think Raddysh will end up being a solid 3rd liner.
