GDT: YoungStars GM 1: Canucks vs. Oilers - 7:30PM PST - Stream - Canucks.Com

[Powder]

Hockey! ****ing finally!

That will be a fun prospect group to watch. Can't wait.

 

[Upoil]

College player. Same rules as for Demko.

They could attend but they would have to pay for their own expenses.

Q: I have been invited by a CHL team to their Rookie/Training camp and they have offered to pay for all my expenses, will this affect my eligibility?

A: You can attend (1) one, 48-hour, expense-paid visit per professional team. The 48-hour period begins when you arrive at the team's facility and ends exactly 48 hours later. While in attendance the team can supply you with expenses that include travel, hotel, food, equipment, and all costs associated with practice and off-ice training. You must leave the facility once the 48-hour time period has expired in order to receive an expense paid return trip home.

Q: Can I stay at a CHL rookie/training camp longer than 48 hours?

A: Yes, provided you cover the cost of all expenses incurred, including cost for the return trip home, following the initial 48-hour time period. The most common expenses incurred, beyond travel, would be food and lodging.

I'm pretty sure the same rules apply to NHL training camps etc. This is the fastest thing I could find from my lazy Googling.

 

[Mofletz]

Corrado and Jensen not invited??

 

[Tommy]

Finally some hockey, can't wait to see McDavid and Virtanen.

Pull a lebron and give the prospects parents a monetary "gift"

Cassels vs Mcdavid part 100000000!

????????????????????????? Different leagues talent wise

 

[Hammer79]

I think he'll get 70+

I think he's right around 70 points in today's NHL.

BCLC's over-under is 71.5 points. Under pays 2.4 * bet, Over pays 1.46 * bet.

Cassels has become somewhat of a folk hero in Vancouver.

Some of you are really underestimating McDavid. He's the real deal and would have gone 1st overall in the past 9 years of draft. Some scouts say it's debatable that he could have gone first overall in 2005 as well.

50 points is way too low for him even in this age. He has a good supporting cast now, a great coach, and a championship GM who is building the team around McDavid.

I'd say he'd be PPG minimum and should be top 10 in scoring next year. So 80 points would be my guess.

80 points today is similar to 100 points in 2005. Scoring has gone down, systems are tighter, and we've seen some goalies emerge as elite (ie. Quick).

But 50-60 points? C'mon. RNH got that and he's not as highly touted as McDavid.

Hall - McDavid - Eberle is going to be a fast and skilled line. If Nurse makes the roster, I don't think many players are going to take liberties on them. Nurse is MEAN and will most likely be on the ice when McDavid is there.

Cassel's line handled McDavid's line quite well in the OHL finals.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

????????????????????????? Different leagues talent wise

The comment stems from Cassels being matched up vs. McDavid - to successful results - in the OHL Playoffs.

 

[WhoseLainesItAnyway]

Uhh Cassels >>>>>>> McDavid AINEC

 

[Nucker101]

Cassel's line handled McDavid's line quite well in the OHL finals.

Small sample size and Oshawa as a team was very well coached defensively. Cassels was very impressive, I'm not taking anything away from him. But those expecting him to become McDavid's arch-rival and to shutdown/contain him in the NHL are expecting way too much. Can it happen? Maybe, but to fully expect it is way too optimistic.


Can only imagine how giddy this fanbase would be if we had a top 5 prospect pool.

 

[HowDoIHockey]

So excited for this tournament! The game tonight vs Edmonton is the one I'm really interested in but now I have something tonight. I know they're streaming it - will it be available after?

 

[Nucker101]

Will the game be available in full length for those that miss it? I'm assuming highlights at the very least.

Nurse is a rookie...

If McDavid gets 60 points he would meet my expectations, anything more is just gravy.

Sweet Jesus, those rosters are laughably imbalanced. At every position.

Would be amazed if we can keep this close. Hopefully the top line can have a good showing.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Don't think it's that imbalanced. If we keep McD under 3 points it should be close. I'd be more concerned about Winnipeg.

 

[Intangibos]

Well, watching us get blown out tonight should prepare us for the regular season. Just like the summer has prepared us for the playoffs

 

[rune74]

Is it any surprise these 3 teams have better prospects then us? They have all sucked longer. I'm honestly surprised we have the group we actually have.

There is some solid truth in this no matter who the GM has been.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I think McDavid alone is going to cruise through this tournament with several multi point games.

I think Shinkaruk is the guy to watch for Vancouver. Could actually see Zhukenov making noise. This is a tournament where guys with high puck-skills will shine.

I can definitely see Virtanen causing some controversy with a big hit (or twenty...)

I am also really hoping they archive it on YT. I have a parent meeting for my son's Minor Hockey at 7. Sigh.
