Prospect Info: Wjc 2013

[AngelDuck]

Didn't see a thread up, so i thought I'd start one with the tournament starting very soon.

Our two prospects attending:

USA: Kerdiles

Sweden: Sorensen

Also, a lot of guys we might draft with the Ottawa pick will be playing in this.

It's so weird that we only have two players going after the last few years.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Excited to watch Kerdiles, have never seen him play outside of rookie camp games

It is, but Sorensen and Kerdiles are two of the more intriguing prospects in our system in my opinion. I feel like they're both 2nd round steals tbh.

You'll hear no complaint from me. I felt that Kerdiles should have gone in the mid to late first on draft day. My opinion on that has only strengthened since then.

Is Kerdiles a center or a winger? This site has him as a center, but I heard he's playing wing for Wisconsin.

He played wing for Wisconsin, last year. He plays center in Wisconsin, this year. From the early stuff coming out of the US camp, he'll be playing left wing on the first line for the US; which is where he played in the summer. I think O'Regan is centering him and Hartman. Jack Eichel is centering the second line.

Sorensen is Danish, though, isn't he?

Born in DK, but lived in Sweden IIRC

Yep, he's played hockey in Sweden since 14, maybe even earlier and represented Sweden at last years WJC.

Will try to follow this on Swedish television. Also cool that Norway is participating, although they will relegate down to Div-1 for sure.

All USA WJC games will be televised on NHL Network. For anyone who is wondering about televised schedule

Same here. I couldn't believe he was still there in the second round. He topped my wishlist for day 2.

Kerdiles is tearing it up too. Really impressive numbers for a sophomore.

Why couldn't McDavid be in this draft? He is so damn good.

Ya I thought he was gonna get killed on that goal lol.

It may only get worse in the USA game if Jack Eichel lives up to the hype.

Thanks so much exit gonna watch it on comp. I took Kerdiles 3rd round in my pool. I also have Gillies that I pulled 2nd round. Should be a good game to watch to see what I have to work with

 

[Gliff]

Jesus Christ lets tank next year

 

[Exit Dose]

Seriously. Holy ****.

 

[Gliff]

McDavid has been the beast player, easily, as a 16 year old. Crazy.

 

[Teemu Salami]

Waking up to WJC . Go Kerdiles!

So far, I'd go with Reinhart over Ekblad easily. Not that Ekblad has been bad.
