Got 5 assists tonight

 

[PG Canuck]

Ok start to the year for him I would say.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Him and Cody Glass are a treat to watch...

Blichfeld is deadly.. Man oh man Portland always seem to find these unreal Euros

Good scouts.

 

[RipCityPuckers]

Picked him a couple years ago in a dynasty league I'm in. I'm a fan.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Joachim has picked points in all games except in one this season in the WHL
- 2 goals, 3 assists tonight in Glass's absence

17 games, 14 goals, 21 assists, 35 points, +6, 21 penalty minutes (3rd in WHL points)

 

[Artorius Horus T]

4 last games, 12 points for Joachim (8 in last 2)

No idea why he isn't in the AHL, because he should be.

As Sharks fan we were a little surprised too when he got sent down.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Adds another 2 points (2 goals) vs Kelowna.
= 17g+22a=39pts (still 3rd in points)

WHL top 5

1. Trey Fix-Wolansky -EDM- 12g+30a=42pts (2.00 ppg)
2. Brett Leason -PA- 17g+23a=40pts (2.35 ppg)
3. Joachim Blichfeld -POR- 17g+22a=39pts (2.05 ppg)
4. Kirby Dach -SAS- 11g+23a=34pts (1.62 ppg)
5. Cody Glass -POR- 7g+27a=34pts (2.15 ppg)

 

[Artorius Horus T]

4 points this time, natural hatty with primary apple.
= 21 goals, 23 assists, 44 points, +14

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Closing up to his last season point totals, only 6 points behind
22+28=50 in 27 games this season.

I don't see what tearing apart the WHL as an overager is doing for his development.

Sharks did get a huge steal in the 7th round thou...

The Sharks AHL team is pretty good. He'd probably be getting fourth line minutes. Whether that's better than tearing up the WHL I don't know.

How so???. Barracuda's d-core is really strong, but their forward core isn't as good.
For me, Blichfeld would fit to their 2nd line already.

Would be interesting to see what Halbgewachs and Blichfeld would be able to do as linemates.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Hatty tonight with primary apple, 2 points shy of his last season total.

 

[PG Canuck]

I don't see what tearing apart the WHL as an overager is doing for his development.

To me, this is almost pointless and a wasted year of development. Playing on the 4th line or wherever in the AHL is far better than this.

Confidence.

He did not have a chance to destroy a junior league (I believe he was on the Hawks 2nd line until this year). Let him be the top dog in juniors before moving to the pros. I think the Sharks have high(-ish) expectations for him, so they want him to have that banner year. To me, I certainly see some potential as a middle 6 scorer. He reminds me of Scott Hartnell, but less of a pest.

Where do you see Newkirk getting drafted?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Goal tonight.

26 goals 29 assists in 29 games, is +16 with 33 penalty minutes.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Saw him live tonight. He's simply too good for the WHL. Man against boys.

Now that the WJC campster are off tho their camps, Blichfeld has started his rise to the top.
61 points already (almost 2.00 ppg) only 3 points behind WHL/CHL leader Brett Leason.

1st season he scored 58 points in 63 games
2nd season he scored 56 points in 56 games
3rd season he has 61 points in just above 30 games

 

[Artorius Horus T]

And Joachim Blichfeld takes the first place in the WHL and in the entire CHL scoring of the 2018-2019 season.
31 goals, 34 assists, 65 points in 33 games, +17, with 37 penalty minutes and 158 SOG.
