Is Bode Wilde going back to Juniors? or is he going to play college hockey?

That was one of his “issues” and reasons why he fell so late in the draft.

But from what I understand he’s going to the NCAA which I don’t like. I’d prefer him in JRs playing more games and minutes.

He's actually going to the OHL in Saginaw.

Really? Where did you hear that?

That’s great news! Wilde can be a real stud D man. Think of hamonic in his prime but on a teroids and a better shot.

“Just in terms of learning to be a pro and playing a pro schedule, I think juniors is really going to be the right move,” Wilde said. “I was a lot more anxious than I was excited to go to college. So I’m a lot happier now playing juniors.”

Wilde is a wild one for Islanders

It’s known that he will go to the OHL to play with Fellow isles draft pick and USDP teammate Blade Jenkins in Saginaw

I mean if he isn’t a good student better to just focus on the thing he is passionate about and try and make it work. Risky but probably the best move for Wilde. By his own admission academics would just distract him

Also, Wilde is a Canadian citizen.

If you play in juniors as a Canadian you get tuition costs paid for after 4 years of juniors (99% sure that’s true)

I thought it was for every year you play is a year of school they pay for.

I was at the 2015 draft when barzal and AB were drafted in sunrise FL at the BB&T center.

I was not happy that we gave up on reinhart so quickly. Wow was I wrong. Thank you barzal / snow!. One of snows best moves to make up for a crap top draft pick.

Other than that, to be honest I have been very on point at the draft. I wanted no part of dal colle, I wanted no part strome. Dal colle / strome all have 1 thing in common. weak skaters!!! Why would you want skating as a weakness from a high pick in the new NHL? Big fail. Pat myself on the back.

I only started watching Reinhart after draft and felt he was a miss just didnt see the wow factor. MDC same thing where i did not see anything . Barzal was the opposite, I watched and seen alot of wow in his game in juniors just wanted him to shoot more. JHS i also see what i look for in a player, was concerned
how he was handled before being sent down so with new group i expect a player here as well

did anyone catch a glimpse of Yannick Rathgeb during rook camp/scrimmage ?

first impressions ?

I was impressed. Definitely think he can develop into a player. Was impressed with his rushes and skating. Never a bad thing to have a Defensman than can really skate.

Very impressed. One of the standout players from the entire scrimmage. Looking forward to see how he does in BP

He had some good stats in SWI against men.

 

[CodeE]

Are we doing the top 25 prospect poll this year? With our cabinet depth it'll be interesting to see what the consensus picks.

just noticed he's a right hand shot too . I'd imagine most of the b'port guys are lefties

 

[SI90]

Written before the draft, a really good read on Wahlstrom. Gives some background info in his life and how hard his dad pushed him.

Oliver Wahlstrom will become a high NHL draft pick | EagleAction.com

So with the Signing of Johnston & Kovar today another 2 forwards are added to the big club. But what does these signing say for the youngsters? I think Trotz is smart enough to say, if for example Josh Ho-Sang is a better player and is more responsible now over say Leo Komarov, hopefully Trotz plays JHS. At the same time, all of these signings provide a problem for some younger guys like JHS or Bellows to possibly crack some NHL ice time to prove themselves. I think a somewhat similar story can be said for the D corp. We have Mayfield, Pelech and Hickey on long-term deals, but what about Aho, Toews and MVS? I think when the young guys are ready to play, they should be playing even if its in December. But these older players coming in/re-signing can cause a log jam for the younger kids. What do you guys think? Should we stick with the vets or let the younger pipeline kids play?

Yeah who usually does these? We might as well start now since we've got nothing coming up for a couple months.

There could still be trades coming and injuries happen. Last year, Aho saw 20+ NHL games last year when no one was expecting him to even sniff a call up.

Also, I think Johnston and Kuhnhackl could very well be waived, and a guy like Filppula could start the season in the pressbox. Hint; he’s not that good.

I think I did it last year, but they haven’t made me mod yet, so forget that.

You would be my top choice to be a mod actually. Sorry @YearlyLottery.

You cannot make that choice this late in the game. We have the new Judas around here now folks.

Maybe.... There is enough room for two new mods around this place.

Haha, we probably do need multiple mods added. You are my #2 though if that makes you feel better.

Just don't leave us to fulfill your childhood dream of being a mod for the toronto mapleleafs board
