Prospect Info: Tim Stützle | 3rd OVR 2020 | C-LW Adler Mannheim DEL

[Burrowsaurus]

He signed his extension a year and a half ago, before his draft year even started. Nobody, likely including Stutzle himself, thought he'd be an NHL candidate as an 18 year old.

A year a half? So it was a 4 year contract? People keep saying there’s 3 years left

 

[BondraTime]

Huh?

Not saying that's incorrect but that doesn't exactly compute.

TSN had the Sens taking Stutzle at 3 and passing on Sanderson for Raymond at 5 in their mock draft, which Dorion attended.

He signed it June 2019, for 3 years through 2021-22.

So why would Dorion NOT mention that he was happy with his pick at 5?

He wasn’t going to say anything regardless of who was picked there as it would have given away his hand, but I’m assuming that what was implied was he wanted someone else by the statement you were quoting.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I still think that was probably too long. Sure maybe not nhl right away. But... starting 2022-23?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I’ve never been so proud to welcome someone to our Franchise.

He will be our saviour.

Totally agree man.
Welcome galchenyuk

There is an opt out, that needs to be done prior to August 15th. If the draft happened normally, he would have signed prior to August 15th and there would be no issue. The only reason it’s an issue this year, is because COVID pushes the draft past the cut off date.

No blame whatsoever on anyone for signing that contract, it took a worldwide pandemic for there to be issues with European signings.

He can leave Mannheim, at worst, after this season is over, because of the transfer agreement. Much more likely, they will sort it out and he will be at camp in December.

I'm confused. How would saying nothing about 5th reiterate that they had Sanderson ahead of Raymond?

 

[BondraTime]

I'm confused. How would saying nothing about 5th reiterate that they had Sanderson ahead of Raymond?

When asked about the mock draft, Dorion said he was pleased with the 3rd pick (they took Stutzle) and when asked if he was pleased with the 5th (Button took Raymond) he said something along the lines of “there are lots of guys we could be happy with at 5”.

I’m assuming the poster was implying that because he skirted the question of being happy with Raymond at 5, and that we took Sanderson at 5, that we had Sanderson at 4 all along.

I don’t think the interview gave any indication of who they had where, but I am 99+% confident the Sens had Sanderson 4th on their list.

Ahh. I thought it was in response to a COMPARISON between the real draft and the mock.

It makes sense now.

This. At the time it was a nothing comment, but in retrospect everything we have heard has the Sens taking Sanderson over Raymond.

I would have preferred Raymond myself but since he was gone I'm on board with the Sanderson pick.

I think you're right about Dorion though.

"You still get paid in US dollars and you live in CANADA."

This is pretty accurate

That ending is amazing. When he puts the jersey on...oh yeah. This is gonna be good

Stuetzle's style reminds me a bit of Martin Havlat from back in the day, here is a great clip of two of my favourite old-school Senators connecting on a goal:



That clip had it all

Great pass - check
Great shot- check
Original 2D jerseys- check
Goal scored against the leafs- check
Goal scored against CuJo- check

I feel like the Havlat-Stuetzle comparison was made at an earlier point in this thread, am I right?

He does look a bit like Havlat!

 

[Sweatred]

He does look a bit like Havlat!

I’m hoping for Hossa’s strength with a mix of Havlat’s speed/puck handling. He may be a better distributor than both.

I miss Arvedson.

Havlat was one of the most exciting players we had. In that way they should be VERY similar.
(I see the style compare too)
Not to change the subject but..See a bit of Havlat in formenton too.
Pretty safe to say stuetzle should have a better career than Havlat while formenton can hope to get to that level(possible).

Love the way Havlat spreads his legs wide to make that sharp cut through the slot. I think Gretzky used to do that.

Also really liked Arvedsson as a player. The machine.

 

[BondraTime]

Havlat was an absolute gem.

One of the most memorable Sens games I can remember watching was back when I was 15 or 16 and Havlat and Alfredsson both lit up the Sabres for 4 goals each. Havlat looked like an absolute superstar when healthy from 03-08.

I mean.... I am also hoping for what you just described.

That one and what about the playoff series against Tampa where Havlat came back from injury and absolutely dominated that series.

I mentioned it a couple of times.

Martin Havlat is my all time favourite player to watch. Absolutely electric, and I hope Stuetzle can bring the same type of jaw dropping, must see plays.
