Pro level prospects sweep the Vancouver Canucks prospect awards

[HF Article]

 
Although it may seem that the Hockey’s Future writing staff are constantly critiquing and evaluating NHL team prospects, there is a flip-side as well. We always strive to give credit where it’s due, and this portion is a tip of the hat to Vancouver Canucks prospects in their endeavors to reach the acme of their profession. Based on their efforts from the 2012-13 season, the following is in acknowledgment of that pursuit.



Hardest Worker: Brendan Gaunce, C, Belleville Bulls (OHL)

A second-degree shoulder separation certainly slowed Brendan Gaunce down in the first half of the season, but it was unable to stop him.… read more

At least they spelled the names right.

 

[Royal Canuck]

I expected Polasek to be up for the "Toughest Prospect" rather than the "Hardest Shot".



MacTavish's face says it all.

When I first got here I loved reading the articles by hf staff, but now I have a different view of their writing and their opinions

The writing now is the best it's been since Matt left.

I lost all respect for HF Canucks articles when they had John Jaeckel, or whatever his name is, writing an article about our prospects. The guy on hockey buzz who hates the Canucks and writes and follows the Hawks. I hate their prospect rankings as well. Why don't they just use ours? The opinions of hundreds that follow the team closely outweigh the views of a few that probably don't even follow the team.

Seriously has anyone else heard this mentioned before? I haven't.

To be fair, while the HF rankings are generally awful, the HFVan ones this past offseason had some laughers, too.

 

[Free Edler]

Ugh, I forgot we had Anthony signed. What a waste of a contract.

 

[MS]

Ugh, I forgot we had Anthony signed. What a waste of a contract.

... at least Rai and Schneider are gone this year.

One more year of Anthony and Tochkin. Ugh.

 

[LiquidSnake]

you guys are way too critical over an article that the guy is probably not even getting paid for.

Just dont bother reading it. I dont.

 

[PhilMick]

**** me I thought Tochkin was gone too.

Ya, that's true. I forget them though.

 

[Tiranis]

Seriously has anyone else heard this mentioned before? I haven't.

I think what he's referencing is that Corrado has a >100mph snapshot so it's hard to imagine that Polasek's is faster.

 

[NoRaise4Brackett]

nevermind

 

[Free Edler]

... at least Rai and Schneider are gone this year.

One more year of Anthony and Tochkin. Ugh.

Garghh. Forgot about Tochkin.

 

[jigsaw99]

Kellan Tochkin

sadly one of our best WHL prospects

 

[vanuck]

Interesting they had Mallet as runner-up for Hardest Worker; wonder if they really saw all that much of him?

Too bad about Anthony as he seems to have regressed after that concussion he suffered.
