Starting 70% of your shifts in the offensive zone will do that.

It didn’t for Skinner.

I’m just saying, but Skinner had the best Corsi of his career last season if that’s how we’re judging these guys.

What kind of crap are you trying to pull here?

Haha you're right I just noticed that. Regardless, he performed well in the role he was given last year in both leagues.

That doesn't really take away form his success--Panarin actually has a lower percentage of defensive zone starts the past two seasons.

Not going to be accused of hyperbole. I know Zykov is not nearly the offensive threat that Panarin is. However, I think he is going to be the best new goal scorer other than Svech this season.

How does having an abnormally high OZ% not factor into “tilting the ice”? The ice was tilted when he came off the bench, 70% of the time.

And yes, that absolutely should be considered when people talk about Panarin.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Maybe with his off-season training, Darling won’t tilt the ice so much this year.

 

[UNCCHcane]

....and that's why they call him Boom Boom

Don't know if everyone has seen this thread:

Lots of Svech votes, a decent number for Necas. But what I liked is one for Pu and one for Booth. The Canes are deep--even other fans are acknowledging it.

And a Nic Roy

And a Nic Roy

He definitely gets more love from other fan bases.

Wasn't he the #1 pick in the QMJHL entry draft or something?

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I hear their father said Nic was the most talented Roy sibling.

Sort of lie the Ed, Edd, and Eddie of the Q?

Wa, Waa, Water?

Wah-Luigi

NHL farm system rankings: No. 4 Carolina Hurricanes

Pronman puts Carolina at #4 of the prospect rankings. Not sure if he really doesn’t like Luke Martin or if it was an oversight

 

[GoldiFox]

Really missed the mark on Zykov. Kuokkanen at #3 and Zykov at #12 is a big gap when considering the on-ice results. Wallmark at #8 is surprising as well, he has never looked like an NHLer in multiple callups.

For the team U23 ranking he puts Svechnikov above Aho and Fox (as well as Kuokkanen) above Pesce. Fox could get there but I have a hard time believing that Kuokkanen is going to be a better player than Brett Pesce.

Interesting rankings. I don’t think Kuokkanen is even close to our 3rd best prospect & Zykov at 12th?

Pesce is only 23 for three months, so not a big issue. Though I have always been higher on him than even most Canes' fans. I think he could eventually hit double digit goals and put up close to 40 points.

I can see Wallmark around 8. He is unspectacular but solid--just don't think he was lined up with any players who complemented his skillset.

Since I don't have a subscription, it will be interesting to hear other thoughts about Pronman's ranking.

Agreed. Having Foegele and Zykov outside the legit NHL prospect category is a real head scratcher to me. Likewise having Bean and Fox outside the "very good prospect" category.
Will also be interested to see if they have Pettersson for Vancouver listed as an elite prospect, if they do I really have to take issue with him being listed as one but not Necas or Tolvanen, but my guess is that he's not.
