About to be 21 and playing in the WHL. Good for him to grab a pro contract, but I'd be surprised if he ever skates with the Preds. As always, I hope I'm pleasantly surprised at some point down the road.

 

[PredsV82]

We must have plenty of contract spaces or else Poile knows there are a bunch he's gonna clear out.

 

[King Weber]

40 goals and 40 assists this season in the WHL.

Here's to hoping that he turns into a Marchessault type gem.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Can you guys give me a rundown, 0 knowledge on him. So far the impression is that Poile is covering his bases with this ELC

I'm assuming nothing special. Being in the WHL at that age is a bit odd. But, as posted above, he did have a good season.

Jordan Tootoo had 209 points in 220 games for Brandon in the WHL. I heard that he used to blow the puck past goalies in that league. Don't give the WHL numbers too much weight. Toots didn't turn out to be another Gordie Howe. He had 161 points in 723 NHL games after starting with the Preds at the age of 20. His best NHL season was 30 points, followed by 18.

I was thinking an overage junior playing against teenagers, most of who will never sniff pro hockey, should put up some impressive numbers.

That was my thought too, although 80 points is still pretty solid regardless.

 

[King Weber]

god damn that guy just went flying

 

[BigFatCat999]

Look at the last 8 seconds and all the guy's teammates looking down at him. They are saying the same thing.

 

[Sticktape]

Off to a good start this year with 7 pts in 5 games. Still racking up the PIMS too.

And they made him an "A"... on a shared team... I don't know anything about Jeannot really, but this is a fantastic start for him. In my head, he was a "career minor leaguer" and I probably wouldn't have given him a QO after this season. But he's doing a fantastic job so far. At the very least you'd think he is on track to winning himself a QO and a higher profile in the prospect rankings.

Didn't realize until I watched that you meant Cody - I thought he had retired already!

Shhh, you'll give Poile ideas for his big rebuild.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Anything to see here?

13 points in eight AHL games, but Wolves are dominating with basically two franchises' prospects.

 

[jusu11]

Vingan wrote a good article in the Athletic where he was interviewing Wolves coach. Vingan asked about Tomasino, Davies and Pitlick specifically but in the end asked if there was another Preds prospect who had impressed the coach and the answer was Jeannot. He said that Jeannot is a true pro and would be the captain if they would have one in Wolves, is perfect player for the coach, does all the little things right and pulls the group around him to the right direction.

So based on this no one probably should expect him to become a top6 player or anything like that but if he has a good influence to a group of players that one day will be the key contributors in Nashville, I'd say that kind of person and mentality is always welcome. Can't have too much good influence and leaders in the room. So maybe he'll become a solid bottom 6 player in the future and a good link between the coach and the players. One can always hope.

 

[AintLifeGrand]

yo we need to sign this guy

 

[Kat Predator]

Nice to see him run over a few Stars.

 

[AintLifeGrand]

can we re-sign tanner jeannot already???

 

[LCPreds]

I really love the flow of this thread. Starts off with an old guy smashing teenager clip. Get a smashing Cody McCloud clip 2 years later. And now we’ve seen him smash in the NHL. This guy is my new favorite Pred and I hope he finds a way to stick around.

 

[Flgatorguy87]

He is much quicker/sudden than I realized. He plays a hard game, but I really noticed his speed last night. I hope he sticks for a while. That bottom line is just straight wrecking dudes right now and hogging possession.

Sissons/Trennin/Jeannot are a great 4th line that not only HITS but is scoring some as well! Plus they look like they are having fun while doing it!

 

[PredsV82]

Gotta feel for Olivier. He was just finding his niche when he got hurt. Hopefully he stays as the 13th forward next year
