What's the story on Mallet?...was a late bloomer in junior, could the same be happening in pro hockey?...was swapped for Pedan, but has come virtually full circle.....would he make any sense to Utica as a late-season call-up or on a PTO?....seems to be progressing, at least at the ECHL level, or has that ship sailed?

Yeah, he's not Canuck, or even Utica, property anymore... but I always had a soft spot for him. Maybe he is a late bloomer. Could be worth a PTO from the Comets.

He was just so bad in his Utica stint. The others, Blomstrand, Fox, and Valk, have made no impression either.

If you look at the forward PTOs the Comets have signed this season, Brandon Marino currently on his second PTO and Greger Hanson, they have been top players in the entire ECHL during their careers, MVP, All-Star, Playoff MVP, league's top scorer, or in the case of Mike Pereira, an NCAA All-American etc. Check out the AHL numbers of all 3 and in limited GP their numbers are poor.

Marino and Pereira were released with the demotions of Higgins and Prust.

Now with the Shinkaruk trade and low numbers Marino was brought back. He played well the first stint, but just didn't put up points. However, he exhibited a good handle on the defensive end of the game which is crucial to Green, so his play was helpful. Hanson was signed due to the Gaunce call-up which left the team with only 18 healthy forwards.

If these guys can't put up points when given the chance at the next level, Green is obviously not hyped over the other 3 who were not as good offensively when given their chances in Utica and are all poor at the defensive aspects of the game.

There was an article on Sportsnet about Mark Jankowski, the high school kid Weisbrod drafted when he was with the Flames....now a solid prospect at 21, who's a ppg guy at Providence....must be signed by August 15th or becomes a UFA like Justin Schultz or Kevin Hayes....hmmm?

Mark Jankowski is PPG now?

Man it only took 4 years.



I give it 7 out of 10 Weisbrods that we sign Jankowski.

Wouldn't mind that at all.Get him to Utica and see what happens.

Miss those glory Flames days,now we're number 1 in idiotic decisions.

We should be happy if Weisbrod pulled it off. Jank has filled out to 6'4" and 200, will likely be 210 by the time he has turned pro and has improved his numbers every year in college. If he goes FA, there will be a line-up.

Not saying he's a bad prospect.

I'd rather target Stecher who is a much better prospect.

I'm not against acquiring Jank. I'm worried they'll blow significant asset to acquire him.

 

[Josepho]

just get all of jankowski, caggiula and stecher.

 

[NuxFan09]

Any good FA goalies from Europe or the NCAA this year? I was going to say the Canucks might as well sign Cam Johnson while they're at it but I think he's just a sophomore still.

Either way, we need to get more goalies in the system. I think Cannata has maxed out as a solid, if unspectacular AHL goalie and the only other one we have is Demko. I don't count Bachman as a prospect.

I don't think it was mentioned that Demko's regular season is officially over. The Hockey East tournament starts today, but Demko won't be in action as Boston College received a bye to the Quarterfinals, which start next Friday. They will face either Boston University or Massachusetts.

Thatcher Demko - 2015-16 regular season stats:
32 GP, 23-5-4, 1.77 GAA, .937 Save%, 9 shutouts

His 9 shutouts lead the entire NCAA, while he placed 3rd in both GAA and Save%. Boston College finished with an overall record of 24-5-5 so he played all but 2 games.

 

[NuxFan09]

As Southern_Canuck mentioned, Gaudette's regular season is over a well and his team begins the Hockey East tournament today.

Adam Gaudette - 2015-16 regular season stats:
34 GP, 10 goals, 15 assists, 25 points, -1, 20 PIMS, 78 shots

Gaudette had an impressive freshman season for Northeastern, finishing 3rd on the team in goals, 5th in points and points per game, 2nd in PP goals and 3rd in shots. Interestingly, he scored at a much better rate in his freshman year in the NCAA then he did the season before for Cedar Rapids in the USHL, finishing with 0.74 PPG compared to 0.60 PPG (30 points in 50 games).

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Those Demko stats are insane!

He might be one of those guys who get better with more structured play and clear definition of role. I know he's most highly regarded for his motor, might be that when he knows which direction to go he can just put his head down and get it done.

Either way really excited about this player! He's basically an unknown quantity

When will he be up with the Nucks or at training camp i guess? Really excited about this guy

 

[canucksfan100]

Interesting to see Benning say that they are looking at signing CHL/NCAA Defenseman.
Troy Stretcher and Jordan Gross are the two standouts for me.

Jalen Chatfield, Jesse Lees, Jerrett Smith are 3 other names, i am curious by

I hope we'll avoid Ashton Sautners of the world.

Not for several years yet. Again, he's a freshman in the NCAA. Also, unless his stock continues to rise considerably, he's not some super prospect so I imagine he'll be the type who will play the whole 4 years in college. That means he'll be at Northeastern for another 3 seasons, meaning we'll likely see him at the end of the 2018-19 season. If he just plays 3 years then the end of the 2017-18 season.

Point is, just be content to follow his progress in the NCAA for now.

 

[NuxFan09]

Sautner is actually doing decent in the AHL. May end up being a good prospect.

 

[Epimetheus]

Would love to be proven wrong but he seems like a long shot.You can pick a guy like him on waivers every year.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Definitely a surprise that he has stuck over McEneny.

Can't find his game by game stats but I believe he started off the year slow with something like 3 pts in his first 10 games IIRC. That gives him something like 21 pts in his last 24 gp which is encouraging.


EDIT: Ok found his stats. In 2016, he has 7g 13a 20pts in 16 games. That is real good for a freshman and mid-round pick.
