Prospect Info: Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL)/Maine Mariners (ECHL) Thread: Part XI

[Gospel of Prospal]

Gropp suspended by HFD

Wow. Did he refuse to report to Maine or something?

 

[effen]

2009 highest ranked player according to https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/the-hockey-news-2009-draft-prospect-rankings - Jordan Schroeder. By not going BPA we took Kreider.

2011 - https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/top-10-prospect-rankings-for-2011-nhl-draft - Joel Armia instead of our pick JT Miller.

2012 - https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/nhl-draft-top30-prospects/ - Sebastian Collberg instead of Brady Skjei

So yeah, lets just always go BPA...

I just picked the first source I saw when googling rankings from that year, obviously there will be a difference in opinion across the board. Every single team has had misses.

these writeups are absolutely hilarious in retrospect

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

No details yet but it sounds like the end of an era (LOL)

 

[McRanger]

The end of an error.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

The end of an error.

The Barzal selection was a double whammy

 

[NYR Viper]

If he doesn't report they can terminate his contract, correct?

 

[JimmyG89]

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Feel like he probably could’ve asked for a trade or release, the Rangers seem pretty open to doing that for guys in the minors

 

[Fitzy]

So we're a Huska-Wall away from going 0-for in getting NHL players in two straight drafts 2015-2016.

First round picks matter a lot.

2016 still has day, tarmo and gettinger

 

[TheBloodyNine]

What an absolute horrid pick. Sounds likes things are going smoothly down in Hartford though, just like always!

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Always knew this kid was a Bust with a capital B. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

His transformation into complete bust is complete

Farewell to the 6th best forward in the 2015 draft

 

[RangersFan1994]

what can they get for this bum? just release him. i doubt he has any trade value even for an AHL depth guy

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Also the Rangers just completely botching one of the most loaded drafts in recent memory is both hilarious and horrible

 

[bobbop]

They won’t be chasing after him

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Maybe they can trade Gropp for Daniel Sprong?

 

[RangersFan1994]

Maybe they can trade Gropp for Daniel Sprong?

well we could have had Vince Dunn, Jordan Greenway, Anthony Cirelli with that Gropp pick

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

So Barzal is not only a star player for Long Island, but he was the impetus for us taking his teammate.

WHAM.MY.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

well we could have had Vince Dunn, Jordan Greenway, Anthony Cirelli with that Gropp pick

Yeah, but it's not the end of the world. I mean fellow second rounders Sprong and Greer were waived and Meloche was traded. I actually brought up trading for Greenway in the Roster Building thread. I'd imagine Quinn would love to get his hands on him.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

well we could have had Vince Dunn, Jordan Greenway, Anthony Cirelli with that Gropp pick

Or Hintz, Kylington or Rasmus Andersson

Swing and a miss on that pick

 

[JimmyG89]

Also the Rangers just completely botching one of the most loaded drafts in recent memory is both hilarious and horrible

Probably why they have all new scouts across the board. The biggest reason teams get stuck in these constant rebuilds is their scouting is bad and don't get players beyond their top 5 picks.

 

[JimmyG89]

Or Hintz, Kylington or Rasmus Andersson

Swing and a miss on that pick

Now, wouldn't he look nice as our 2C. There would be no discussion.

 

[TheWhiskeyThief]

If he doesn't report they can terminate his contract, correct?

CBA 14.8 Reporting Time. A Transferred Player shall be afforded a reasonable timeframe in which to report to his new Club or minor league club.

Guessing 4 days is enough.

SPC 14. The Club may also terminate this SPC upon written notice to the Player (but only after obtaining Waivers from all other Clubs) if the Player shall at any time:
(a) fail, refuse, or neglect to obey the Club's rules governing training and conduct of Players, if such failure, refusal or neglect should constitute a material breach of this SPC.
(b) fail, refuse or neglect to render his services hereunder or in any other manner materially breach this SPC.
In the event of termination under Paragraph 14(a) or (b) the Player shall only be entitled to compensation due to him to the earlier of the date such notice is personally delivered to him or the date such notice is e-mailed to him.
In the event this SPC is terminated by the Club while the Player is "away" with the Club for the purpose of playing games the installment then falling due shall be paid on the first week- day after the return "home" of the Club.

 

[Leetch3]

btw, we didn't draft them, but Howden, Hajek, Lindgren, Fox, and Rykov are all from that draft 2016 class.
