Tyler Toffoli....4 Goals.......In the 1st period!!!!

[SuperNintendoChalmrs]

Tyler Ennis was as close to the 2nd round as you can get. Did it 2 years ago.

Sabres should have drafted Toffoli.

 

[Orenji]

How did this kid drop to the 40's? He was projected to be 15/16 and looks to have improved leaps and bounds from his last OHL season. I know his skating was said to be lackluster, but still.

 

[Lazarrr]

Doesn't help that half Kingston was injured or away, but as the Sens continue to struggle, I will cheer for the 67's for the rest of the season.

Complete joke that he wasn't invited to canada camp.

Has a player drafted in the second round ever scored 6 goals in a game in the CHL?

Incredible indeed, but 34 goals in 36 games played is much nicer. That's consistency

Brett MacLean had 61 goals in 61 OHL games the season after he was drafted in the second round by Phoenix. This kind of production is rare, though.

Tavares had 78 assists that year in 58 games, someone had to benefit from that.
I mean Brett Parnham scored 50 the next year

 

[Passchendaele]

And to think he was supposed not to be as good as John McFarland.

 

[Vaclav Varada]

LA should try and snag Prince in the 2nd round. These guys have some serious chemistry.

Sharks will draft him in the 1st, he is a 67...

 

[Vaclav Varada]

Sharks will draft him in the 1st, he is a 67...

Then they would have taken Smith or Toffoli over Coyle last year.

 

[james30]

Major problem for Prince is the fact that he did not make the Prospect game that is coming up on January 18 and 19.

 

[Alberta tough]

A hat trick and one assist today. Thirty eight goals on the season. Wow that impressive. Hopefully he is on Team Canada next year.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Hopefully he's in the Kings line-up next year. Kings need wingers badly.

38 goals in 41 games played, just great.

Though Hishon has a better PPG ratio than him. He's having a great season too.

 

[Bjorn Le]

That line is like the only one that produces for Ottawa. Must have atleast 65% of their total goals.

83 of 179

46%

38 goals, 75 points in 41 games this year, not bad! Currently leads the OHL in scoring, 1 point ahead of his linemate Prince, and 7 points ahead of 3rd place Akeson. But he fell to 47th overall in the last draft and didn't make team Canada, obviously people in the know have reservations about his game, what are they? Skating? Defensive play? Inflated point totals due to system/linemates? Can't be size, as he's listed at anywhere from 6' to 6'1" and 180 to 200 lbs.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Inflated point totals due to linemates is far from the truth. If anyone has inflated stats, than it's Prince.

His skating was very bad, has improved a bit. He's not suitable for the 3rd/4th line and Team Canada thought they had better options up front, completely understandable. On the other, he wasnt even invited.

Fact remains, he's a '92 born and on pace for 50-60 goals already, something you see more often with 19/20-year olds in the CHL, but not with 18/19 years olds.

We'll see. Perhaps he's another Dany Rousin.

 

[Brandinho]

Inflated point totals due to linemates is far from the truth. If anyone has inflated stats, than it's Prince.

Ridiculous but not surprising coming from you. They're both scoring so much because they compliment each other so well.

Toffoli's a good prospect but his skating still isn't up to NHL standards and he's hardly a complete forward. Sure can score, though.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Somebody asked if Toffoli's point totals were inflated due to linemates.

Toffoli was projected as late 1st rounder in the past draft. He had netted almost 40 goals already last season. Prince was a nobody last season. Logically you might expect Toffoli will improve compared to last season.

I say if anyone's # is inflated than its Prince, from nobody to 100 point player, and than you think I'm ridiculous ?

 

[Brandinho]

Actually I think you completely missed the point. Somebody asked if Toffoli's point totals might be inflated due to linemates.

Toffoli was projected as late 1st rounder in the past draft. He had netted almost 40 goals already last season. Prince was a nobody last season.

I say if anyone's # is inflated than its Prince and than you think I'm ridiculous ?

Prince was a 16 year old last year. Just because you had no idea who he was doesn't make him a nobody, it just reflects poorly on your knowledge of hockey prospects.

And yes, you're ridiculous. Have you even seen Prince play? You're only saying this crap because Toffoli is a Kings prospect.

both are 1992 and this is both their third year in the league.

the line is playing good together. Toffoli is leading in points, goals and Plus/Minus in all CHL leagues. that is the OHL, WHL and the quebec league. So "hardly a complete forward" is hard to understand.

Dont get personal, dude.

I dont have to defend Toffoli at all, dont you think ? His play speak volumes and why should I have anything against Prince ?

Prince was not a 16 year old, he was 17 for 95% of the season, plays in the OHL since 2008, but I also didnt expect 80 points from him last season. He's now playing with one of the best goalscorers in the OHL and I think his numbers are inflated by that, also because of the huge step forward suddenly.

Now you dont have to agree me, but its not ridiculous. That's something you fail to see because you are so focussed on me with being a Kings fan and Toffoli a Kings prospect. That's the only thing you see.

 

[Brandinho]

It's not my fault if you take it personally. The purpose of this message board is for debate.

Nobody's attacking Toffoli so I'm not sure why you'd feel the need to defend him in the first place.

Prince was not a 16 year old, he was 17 for 95% of the season and I didnt expect 80points from him back than. He's now playing with one of the best goalscorers in the OHL and I think his numbers are inflated by that, also because of the big gap with last year.

Wrong. In the CHL, when one refers to a 16 year old, they're talking about their 16 year old season. Prince being a late '92 might make him 17 for the majority of the season but it's still his 16 year old season.

As for why his numbers have picked up so much, a good part of it has to do with vastly improved skating. He's not a big guy so he's not going to muscle his way around but he's developed into a legitimately strong skater. Not a great overall athlete but very quick and, most importantly, very intelligent. His hockey sense is the best on that line and frequently the offense runs through him. To say Toffoli inflates his stats is ridiculous. Toffoli's stats are just as inflated by Prince as Prince's are by Toffoli, which is to say they aren't. Martindale, Toffoli, Prince, they all have different strengths and weaknesses and serve as perfect complements to one another.

Now you dont have to agree me, but its not ridiculous. That's something you fail to see because you are so focussed on me with being a Kings fan and Toffoli a Kings prospect. That's the only thing you see.

Or maybe it's because I've actually seen them play and I find it ridiculous that you're making broad generalizations about players you know very little about.
