not looking good for O'Brien atm

The purpose of this season for JOB is to play on a regular basis and sharpen his skills.
I'm sure at some point he'll get hot again, but his stats are less important than staying healthy, and getting experience.
Next season in college will be more important, that's when you expect him to take another step up.

He's not going to sharpen any skills playing in that league.

I think he's trying to enjoy hockey again and regain some confidence.

 

[deadhead]

Skating, shooting, the basics that atrophy when you haven't been playing on a regular basis.
Defensive instincts, not so much.

Flyers prospect watch: the next wave of professionals

Tanner Laczynski...

Flahr’s take: “He had some other commitments (at development camp) but for this season he’s a character kid, a big leader. He plays every situation there. I’ll see him in a couple weeks here.
“I think he just gets sick of answering the question (of turning pro), to be honest with you. Any guy that goes back for his senior year is kind of reprimanded and fed to the bull so I dunno…he probably just doesn’t like to talk about it.”

Egor Zamula...

Flahr’s take: “He’s always been good with the puck, even in his draft year. He didn’t get drafted because of his frame. He’s gotten stronger. He’s put weight on. You saw it in training camp when he was with the big guys. He can think the game. He’s mobile. Tremendous poise for a young player under pressure with the puck, the transition game. He’s got some offense. Chuck just saw him play the other day (on the Flyers’ road trip). He’s playing with tremendous confidence. Obviously a great find by our guys and a guy who really wants to be an NHL player. It’s exciting.”

Zamula with an assist with 15 minutes left in the game. Still a point in every game this season(9). Up to 13 points and +15.

 

[Appleyard]

 

[FLYguy3911]

He’ll be a WJCs so he won’t hit the 68 game mark.

At least this one is signed

 

[Tripod]

From the Main boards, Penguins prospect Samuel Poulin(21st in 2019):

8 point game today. 2 goals and 6 assists, even though he spent 7 minutes of the game in the penalty box.

Nice

 

[FLYguy3911]

Impressive. Wasn’t a fan of him as a 1st rounder though and he was 3rd on his own line in scoring before today.

 

[Tripod]

Nice

Yeah not often you see a 8 point game in ANY league, so thought I would share.

 

[Appleyard]

He’ll be a WJCs so he won’t hit the 68 game mark.

Yeh, I know... but where is the fun in projecting the stats with that!

 

[deadhead]

It will be interesting to see the role he's given for the WJC-20, it'll give a sense how he's perceived by 3rd parties.

Zamula?

Romanov the #1 most likely. Zhuravlyov (one of my favourite mid-rounders for 2018) will likely be the #2.

He is probably the #3 and the 2nd Dman on PP1 with Romanov.

Galenyuk, Pylenkov and Okhotyuk make the roster.

Misyul, Malyshev, Zhilyakov fight for last spots.

 

[Tripod]

 

[FLYguy3911]

He was 3rd pair RD at the u18s in 2018.

 

[Magua]

It will be interesting to see the role he's given for the WJC-20, it'll give a sense how he's perceived by 3rd parties.

Because if we’ve learned anything from these World Juniors, it’s to give a hoot about how biased international committees view prospects. Never wrong.

Playing in North America will always be a hurdle for any Russian WJC player. Especially one without draft hype.

Should I be concerned that he saw Zamula's frame as a negative as a draft eligible player? Unless you thought he had a chronic issue that was going to hinder his ability to develop physically, I'm not sure how you didn't view that as a positive. He could just be downplaying his unlikely rise to prominence and/or defending his peers. Zamula was released by Regina so it's not like he was destined for this. They were going for a Mem Cup, but if they had any inclination he'd turn out the way he has, there is no way they cut him loose. Just seemed like an odd comment. You acknowledge he always had this skill. 6'4 defensemen with skill aren't exactly common.

 

[deadhead]

6'3 170 is pretty slight for a defenseman, especially one with average speed.

We saw with Sanheim that a tall, slight defenseman can be pushed around, that's why he even admitted after last season he needed to get stronger, and he was already up to 200 lbs or so.

Zamula didn't stand out in his first CHL season: 69g 2-16 18 0, while he was OK in the WJC-18 series, he also didn't flash enough.
Like Myers, someone should have used a 7th rd pick and gamble on him (the way the Flyers did with Fedotov as a 6'8 goalie).

That pick killed me dead. Such a rotten shame.
