G Wouter Peeters - Jokerit U20, Jr. A SM-liiga (2016, 83rd, CHI)

[No Fun Shogun]

I know nothing about the guy except that he's Belgian and has the name of the draft so far.

So, of course I want him to crack Chicago's roster eventually.

First ever Belgian to be drafted in the NHL, history !

 

[Bjorn Le]

Was he supposed to be drafted? Can't find almost anything about him.

Sean Day two picks before

Day technically

He just signed few weeks ago to Jokerit...will mostly play and train in their A-junior squad. Has played in Austria before signed to Finland. I have no idea how good he is or what is his style. Big goalie though.

Day technically

Not really. Day grew up in Detroit. He was just born in Belgium.

Go Belgium! 4th round was an elite round for player's names

 

[Urbanskog]

That's great. He has never represented Belgium though, wonder if he even intends to.

 

[Savi]

That's great. He has never represented Belgium yet though, wonder if he even intends to.

They could use him

I don't know a lot, but I saw him earlier this year when his team played the Victoria Grizzlies of the BCHL, he's really quick for a kid of his size and has a terrific glove. He was getting shelled and kept his team in the game the whole time.

 

[Newfoundland]

No updates?

Looks like he's spent most of the year with Jokerit's junior team.

That's good. He's going to be a long term project even for a goalie so this is just one small step among many.

Couple days late but he joined Rockford on a ATO on the 13th

He's joining Rockford purely for developmental purposes. Won't play, just practice.

Any reason why he hasn't played with Belgium internationally yet? Is he deciding to pull a Levin or Sprong and say **** you to his original countries? Or just hasn't gotten the opportunity?

If you're an NHL prospect there is no upside to playing games for the Belgian team, hockey is really bad here

I'm convinced it's Petrus's fault.

Anyone named Wouter Peeters should be a fan favorite.

From the sounds of this recent IIHF article on him, seems that with his move to practice with Rockford in the AHL kept him from playing for Belgium this year, and while it doesn't quote Peeters saying he'd join them, it also doesn't say he wouldn't, which I feel would be noted if it wa the case.

 

[kaiser matias]

Was released by Jokerit today. Perhaps he's coming to North America?

He was drafted in the USHL by Youngstown. So if I would guess he will join the USHL and then jump into the AHL/ECHL once he's done with his junior career. There's always the possibility of him going to the NCAA, but him playing for Jokerit might've killed his eligibility for it (IE getting paid).

Did not see that he was drafted into the USHL. Going to a team like Youngstown would be a smart move, one of the better teams there for sure.
