idk anything about the guy other than he led SJ's AHL team in goals and points in his 20 year old season.
has anyone seen him play?
Rudolfs Blacers should be a late/middle first rounder in 2015 draft. He is penciled now to be a top 6. He is outperforming and ahead in his development of Timo Meier in Baracudas AHL. 9th overall pick by San Jose 2015 draft. I would say he is better then Pavel Zacha. 6th pick 2015. The way he plays he reminds me a lot of Mitchell Marner. 4th overall pick, the same draft year
SJ didn't expect him to crack their roster, and I believe he is pretty undersized so I think he will really have to impress to make the team. Nice prospect though, hope he pans out.well knowing nothing about the guy other than he led his AHL team in scoring at 20, I expect he'll be on the roster this year and it affords one of our guys a chance for some AHL seasoning
Nope.This board was crying a garbage pick, repeating Ottawa media, when Erik Karlsson was drafted. People did not care about Alfie as the 133rd pick overall. Did not care about Pavol Demitra, well he was drafted 227th overall why not to send him down to minors, when he was the best player in a training camp with 9 points. Yashin called this action by the management moronic, and that's why they started the propaganda roll against him and the lifeless Ottawa sport media always take the management side of things. Balcers in my estimate is the real deal, soon with NHL 70-90 points player in two years, he needs consistency and the upper strength. People in Latvia already consider him as the second only to Sandis Ozoliņš judging his skill level.
You'd be wrong because Norris will be playing for Michigan.I have a feeling balcers plus norris might step up this year and join team .
Um our scouts have changed over time, but thanks for overhypingThis board was crying a garbage pick, repeating Ottawa media, when Erik Karlsson was drafted.

I love the norris 1st round pick and 2 nd round pick part of it more. Dorion will be looking good in a couple of years.This is the only piece of the trade I'm happy with.
When he’s out of a job because the the team gets sold?I love the norris 1st round pick and 2 nd round pick part of it more. Dorion will be looking good in a couple of years.

Balcers, Norris, and picks will all look like a win when 65 comes back under new ownership in July 2019.

God I want to believe but good things don't happen here anymore.
Should probably include the money in the calculation as well. We've got a few million freed up for elsewhere on the roster.
Nah, Norris looks like a 3rd line C at best. The first round will be late, pretty much a 2nd rounder. Same kind of thing with the 2nd. It'll be basically a 3rd rounder. Garbage. Like I said, the only piece I like is Rudolfs.
Every time we’ve buckled up for news of an ownership change, we’ve been let down.Balcers, Norris, and picks will all look like a win when 65 comes back under new ownership in July 2019.
