Prospect Info: Hurricanes Prospect Info and Discussion - Part VI

[DaveG]

How's he been in general this season? He seems to have completely fallen off the map.

He had a shit start to the season but started playing a good bit better after not making the Finland WJC team.

 

[Stickpucker]

Hahaha they will soon be joining us on the pain train

 

[Jorma Heart]

How's he been in general this season? He seems to have completely fallen off the map.

Scored 20 points regular season while his shooting% were ridiculously low at 3,8%. He's shot suppression numbers, corsi and whatever advanced stats there is seems to be top 3 on his team. Started as a 3rd line C, ended up as 1st line C in playoffs. National team coach Lauri Marjamäki indicated that he could get call to real national team, even some stupid coach didn't select him to the WJC team (Luostarinen scored hattrick against JYP while Finland sucked ass in that tournament).

Overall I don't think he's fallen off the map, on the contrary he's stocks are rising and seems to be legit 2nd round pick.

the hurricanes official youtube is doing this project where they talk to local hockey players and they interviewed Sean Romeo as a goalie from Ohio State. his numbers look pretty decent. shrug.

Yeah, too bad we currently have a goaltending prospect logjam with Helvig, Ned, and Booth now signed or else I think we would look pretty hard at signing Romeo this offseason. If he stays in college til next season (which is looking more and more likely as of now) and we don't re-sign Ned, I could see us signing him. But like I said in another thread, he should have several offers this season or next.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

If his hockeydb measurements are to be believed then he’s a pretty skinny guy. They have him listed at 6’1” 165lbs.

Ryan Miller was a pretty good goaltender for being a beanpole.

 

[AD Skinner]

I think darling has shown us all this year that it's not the size it's how you use it

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I wonder how much Necas bulked up during this season.

 

[Lempo]

"If you're as good as set up for miserable failure when the wife calls you 'darling' beforehand, you just might be a Canes fan."

 

[MinJaBen]

I wonder how much Necas bulked up during this season.

I'm going to go with "not as much as we'd like, but we'll throw him out there anyway."

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I'm going to go with "not as much as we'd like, but we'll throw him out there anyway."

I'm going with "not as much as we'd like", but when he's in the AHL "Why the hell aren't they calling him up!"

 

[MinJaBen]

...but when he's in the AHL...

Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it. I would bet you he is more likely to be starting the season between Aho and TT than in the AHL.

 

[Lempo]

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it. I would bet you he is more likely to be starting the season between Aho and TT than in the AHL.

Thus the

I agree though as I also think he'll be in the NHL next year, or at a minimum, get every chance to be. That might be fine though, there are a lot of slight, highly skilled players who are excelling in the NHL these days so him "bulking up" to a level people want to see him at isn't a requirement.

 

[Bridgeburner96]

Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it. I would bet you he is more likely to be starting the season between Aho and TT than in the AHL.

He has the skill, speed, and upside to center Aho and TT. It wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Babula]

I wonder how much Necas bulked up during this season.

Kid has wheels. He was not playing last Cze Play-off because of U18 WCH. But this year he looks dominant for a guy of his age in semifinal series...

 

[lamini]

Necas 0+1 in third sf game, Kometa won 3-2 (series 3-0)

 

[letsgrowcactus]

Kometa won again 3-2 (now 3-0 in the semifinals); Necas created the first goal with great speed - carried the puck to the o-zone, took a fast turn behind the net and passed it right to the front of the completely open net as the goalie was still looking for him on the other side.
(Someone needs to post a video - it was beautiful )

 

[Canes]

Sweet, can't wait to see him play on Derek Ryan's wing.

 

[MinJaBen]

Sweet, can't wait to see him play on Derek Ryan's wing in the AHL.

 

[Canes]

What kind of injury do you predict Ryan having so he has to have a conditioning stint in the AHL after signing his new 3 year, 3 million per contract with the Canes this offseason?

 

[MinJaBen]

I predict the Canes will resign Ryan to a contract at Bill Peters urging...then fire Peters in September when the owner wants a more collaborative approach to juggling the lines. At that point, Ryan will be sent down in training camp and get to center Necas' line.

Not as soon as I'd like to see Peters fired...but I'll take it.

 

[lamini]

Just trying to put here video of Necas assist, but I'm a bit clumsy when it comes to internet: Nečas předvedl další parádu: Měl jsem rychlost, tak jsem do toho kopl - iSport.cz

Edit: seems I'm unable to put in link directly to the video. it's the first video in that article
