Prospect Info: U18 WJC 2023

[SantosHalper]

Referees has given many majors so far, i started to think that someone is going to break the PIM record at this rate. But then i checked the all-time record list and immediately thought otherwise. What the hell did Seydoux do?

Yzerman, Draper and Andersson in the stands, Slovakia - Canada game.

 

[SantosHalper]

Yzerman's interview soon!

 

[SantosHalper]

Yzerman's interview soon!

- Patience was mentioned.

- Young players need to be physically AND mentally ready first, before they can play in the NHL. Putting them in too soon will ruin the devopment.

- Young players play in the juniors, college or in Europe until they are ready to play in NHL or AHL. Decisions will be made at camp.

- Red Wings fans are good

- Atlantic division is tough. Montreal's rebuild is little bit ahead of ours. Detroit has many good young players, Yzerman icludes Larkin to that list.

- Button didn't ask anything about the draft or next year's team instead he asked, are young players today more keen or hungrier to get in the NHL earlier than they were before. Yzerman's answer was quite cryptic "players have more access to information today but it's often false information"

Stevie was there, it was mentioned again during the game.

Leonard impressed me, doing all the little things right. Real swiss army knife-type player, it would be intresting to see how he would play as a center. Right handed center is what Red Wings are really is missing, Leonard would fit very well in Detroit's system.

Danny Nelson's story was intresting, he started as a defenseman, then he became a winger and now he's a center. Nice utility player.

Before the USA - Norway game, i watched Czechia - Germany. Sale kept doing Sale things, Adam Jecho was noticeable. Big right handed winger, quite mobile and was on the puck often, he did many zone entries. Vojtech Vochvest is a nasty kid, next Gudas but doesn't take much penalties.

Leonard is a right winger. Not a center. Won’t play center in the NHL unless it’s a situation like Fabbri a couple of seasons ago and we’re desperate.

I don't think he said Montreal is ahead of us, just that they should be included in the conversation with us Buffalo and Ottawa.

Willander has impressed me quite a bit so far in the 1st period against Czechia. physical, mobile, and good defending the rush.

In my defense i was eating a delicious Angus-burger with jalapenos and beef jerky, so i might have been distracted a bit and misheard some statements.

Not bad so far, size, Frölunda-connection. When theres smoke, theres fire.

 

[NickH8]

Hrabal is such an impressive goalie. Always in the right position and never panics.

 

[Frk It]

Hrabal is such an impressive goalie. Always in the right position and never panics.

He cratered pretty hard in the USHL down the stretch. Believe he was benched. Will be curious to see where he gets picked.

I think I like Fowler and Ratzlaff, as far as goalies go.

 

[NickH8]

Eiserman and Hagens are realgud

 

[lilidk]

Not sure about Moore hockey iq , I don't think he good for 1st line center

 

[SantosHalper]

Steve and Kris ain't vacationing in Switzerland, in afternoon they were in Ajoie watching Slovakia - Canada. Now they are in Basel watching Finland- USA.

 

[Realgud]

I struggled with his decision-making all year. Not a fan but he has fantastic skating + hands combo which are good tools to start with, and he hustles well, but there's a lot of work to be done between the ears in my opinion.

I agree. I think the tools make him at least top 9 winger. He'll need to get more creative if he wants to be more than that though.

Probably our target for #9 should between Dvorsky and Yager . I doubt Smith will be available .

I'm closing in on those two as well. Yager is an easy projection to be a 30g 30a center now that he's developed his playmaking side, I think his goal scoring is something he'll find again. Dvorsky is highly skilled and more phyiscal than I thought initially, and is involved on both ends of the ice.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Perreault with a hat trick in that game he was there for… nice.

Nice...

Also at this point I'm comfortable taking Perreault top 10. He's something special.
