Prospect Info: Justus Annunen (G) (2018 64th overall)

[Gabe the Babe]

I posted something yesterday that just disappeared. But I think if he plays at 6’4” 200-210 gets his diet right and plays with more energy he’ll increase his quickness massively.

The problem is if he’s stiff and I athletic and it’s not just a quickness thing then I don’t see the pick.

If he loses weight tho he’s probably a starter. Overall they gotta get this dude in NA with some nutritionists and trainers asap

As you know, losing weight is 100% the most difficult thing a professional hockey player has to do to develop his game, just ask Alexis Pepin.

It sounded to me that Hepple doesn't really have an eye for scouting goaltending, so he gives his regional scouts more freedom along with the goaltending coach to help choose them.

Aka the cgf approach to scouting:

What's that?...a goalie?

@gigantor!!!!

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Can he play in Loveland next season? I wonder if they'll go with Frank and Annunen there and send Martin packing.

So long as he leaves his pads behind.

He could play in the AHL, but the Avs would probably be much better served to run with Werner ove Annunen. I'd expect they will dip into the UFA market to grab one though (I could see a Cannata return happening).

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Oh yeah I forgot about Werner. New toys make me forget old toys.

 

[LTC Pain]

So, is Annunen the Avs goalie of the future???

 

[McMetal]

So, is Annunen the Avs goalie of the future???

Yep. Just like Pickard.

 

[Pokecheque]

Nope, it's gonna be Sham-wow-kov.

So they're done with Spencie & those orgasmically pretty pads?

He was qualified so apparently not!

 

[klozge]

I don't know. Can he fight?

 

[UncleRisto]

I don't know. Can he fight?

He's got the reach advantage over a lot of guys probably.

Varlamov
Grubauer

Francouz
Martin

None of those guys will want to go to Utah.

The same goes for Werner, when he can just stay in Karlstad.

 

[Avalanche]

and the face to absorb a punch

 

[cgf]

When does the season start for him if he waits another year before coming to NA? I.e. could he go to camp in NA and try his luck at unseating Martin, before going back to Sweden in time for their camp if he doesn’t decisively outplay Spencie?

Cause I think Martin deserves one last season to show he’s gaining that resiliency that has held him back before we dump him and give his spot to younger prospects. So I’d like to at least let Martin fight for the job, provided that wouldn’t screw Werner over with regards to PT in Sweden if Martin does beat him out as the Frenchman’s back up.

He's the newest and highest drafted guy in the pipeline so for fans he likely is perceived as such. Goalies are so weird though. I swear goalies and D men are the hardest to project since their development takes so many twists and turns.

 

[henchman21]

Still not positive he doesn't have the mumps.

 

[Hasbro]

Those jowls will catch about ten pucks a year.

 

[Hasbro]

His interview is quite funny. He certainly seems very confident in himself. .

 

[member 116861]

His cheeks are so f***ing juicy

 

[The Kingslayer]

Still not positive he doesn't have the mumps.

I see this
