Prospect Info: World Junior Summer Showcase [July 29-Aug 5]

[tigervixxxen]

If there's interest in discussing this, we should have a place for it. Jost, Makar and Timmins are scheduled to attend. Canada does not play until Tuesday with split squad games and then full squad games on Wed, Fri, Sat on NHL Net and TSN. USA has started today against Sweden and Finland in split squad contests.

This looks to have full stats and box scores

I didn't see Jost on the roster. Is that normal?

I may try to go on Tuesday and Saturday, but for sure won't catch all of the first game Tuesday. It's about 40 minutes away and I have something scheduled for 3-4PM on Tuesday. I haven't been up there yet, so should be a fun experience. Can't beat 10$ all day admission.

Which roster are you looking at? And no it wouldn't be unusual if he didn't play. MacKinnon attended the camp but didn't play after he was drafted. Might be up to the player or team if they want to get in the games.

That's cool if you go, would be a neat experience and definitely tell us about it. I'm excited some of this stuff will be on tv.

This is Canada's full roster page http://www.usahockeyarena.com/page/show/3506486-canada-roster

They have the split rosters up too, and Timmins is on Red with Makar on White.

There are 7 dmen on Canada Red. Hopefully Timmins will play.

Edit: Makar is the only RHD on Canada White. Interesting.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Yeah I noticed that

 

[Avsblitzkrieg]

Makar at 5'10

 

[Foppberg]

Makar at 5'10

They must be using old stats then. I doubt he lost 10lbs and an inch lol.

Maybe he was in the swimming pool prior to the measurements.

It's old news but Makar was 15.3 lbs heavier than Heiskanen at the combine? That's quite a lot.

He was 187.44 lbs, with dedicated training he should be over 190 to start the season in the NCAA. He isn't huge but he isn't small either.

Makar's gunna be the same size as duchene

5'11" 190 is small. That's just a fact.

That weight is actually not small for a draft year. Semantics right?

 

[Balthazar]

Is 6'0 195 OK for you? Because that's what he's going to be in the NHL.

 

[tigervixxxen]

I saw him with my own eyes, he's not small. I think he's already bigger than Jost. Who btw just put up a photo on IG that should calm fears that he hasn't put muscle on. I'm sure if you really want to see it can be googled.

Really, that's what he is going to be? Nice crystal ball you have there.

 

[CobraAcesS]

So back to the subject. I haven't seen this anywhere else.

 

[Patagonia]

AVs might have coveted Heiskanen, considered the best DMen at the draft and only listed as 2" taller and substantially 18 lbs lighter. Makar is not small and getting bigger and stronger. Confident to play for the worst college team in possibly the strongest division in the NCAA. He will get plenty of ice time and expected to carry the team. A potential all-star is too early to predict, but love his attitude, confidence and leadership to show his potential.

How many Dmen in the league are 5'11" or less? Not many. I don't care how jacked he is, 5'11" is small for a Dman. 190 is small for a Dman. Size is easily measured and compared, and compared to the rest of the league he is small.

There is some chance he gets little bit bigger, but guys like Enstrom, and Campbell have been pretty good on the defensive side. So it's not impossible for him to learn to defend at a high level. If I had to guess he'll be similar in size to Letang.

I'm skeptical of Makar, but you are taking this to a whole other level to be honest.

Hockey Canada did update their list to reflect that. Not playing doesn't surprise me but not attending does a bit.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

He's in BC, if you look at Fabbro's instagram. I have no idea where they're practicing or anything.
