Prospect Info: #143 Marian Studenic (RW)

[devilsblood]

His big season wouldn't mean very much as an overager.

It would mean more then playing a 4th line role in the AHL? I disagree.

 

[MartyOwns]

Wow you think Bastian has limited skills? Fitzgerald doesn’t seem to see it that way judging by the prospect article of late. You surely haven’t watched these kids play much

i mean fitzgerald might be a little biased. i'll admit i haven't seen much of bastian, but going off of his draft profile and stats, i'm leaning towards him turning out to be a very one dimensional player. that's not necessarily a bad thing though, maroon is proof of that

The junior players he is competing with for jobs as future NHLers are almost all playing pro at his age.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "his age", but many junior players play 2 more seasons in juniors after being drafted. And his draft class will be the guys he is most closely inline with age wise.

If Bastian has a wide array of skills, it would be nice if he started to show them in game action.

He really doesn't.

He's a run of the mill grinding net front presence

I'm a Castron guy but he botched this pick.
Lots of better players were drafted after Bastian that round .

so is maroon. those guys have value too

he's 20

 

[Cheddabombs]

Wow, a lot of talk about Studenic signing his... ah, nevermind

 

[Blackjack]

I keep coming into this tread thinking someone has news or perspective on Studenic, and... I never learn.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Maroon scored a TON more in juniors and his rookie AHL season.

20, so is Barzal if you want to make reaches for comparisons.

 

[My3Sons]

Clearly the team saw something they liked in Bastian. That said, at some point one of the posters here commented specifically on his game in Binghamton and said something along the lines of he didn't know what NJ might have seen in the player. It's possible the pick was a straight up whiff. It's also possible he was just as good in juniors as he is now. In that case, i get it. Sometimes a player can look good against a given level of competition but doesn't have anything left in the tank to take it to a higher level. As for Studenic, we'll see. I'll be cautiously optimistic and suggest that if he makes the Binghamton roster next season it's because they think he can play at that level and not just be a healthy scratch waiting for injuries to pile up.

i'm not making comparisons to him as a player, i'm making comparisons to his style. you implied he shouldn't have been picked because he's just a grinder/net front presence, and i'm saying that even if that's true, those types of players have value.

I'll agree with that.
I just never liked the actual player picked at that spot and what I've seen thus far in not impressed.

I'd like to be wrong if course .

maybe reuniting him with mcleod in bing will help him? not sure how much the two actually played together, but it can't hurt. better hurry though, mcleod has limited time left down there..

 

[Scorcho]

Speers has improved and has an outside chance of developing into a NHL player.

I don't see Bastian ever getting there, lack of foot speed and limited skills.

I never liked the Bastian pick with Abramov, Dahlen and Kuokk,etc still on the board and said it at the time.

hope Stud adds weight and strength so he can use his high end skill and speed at the next level.

jesus christ dude, do you ever not complain about drafting?

just send in your resume to Shero already.

I actually have few criticisms of Castron thus far.

Bastian and Senn were bad picks and I'm on the fence with Mikey too.

But he's killing it otherwise including the promising Studenic

Stud's has been pretty good for a 5th rounder. But his #'s so far are not exactly "killing it".

i think it's fair to have a few criticisms on castron - of course, hindsight is 20/20 and he's bound to have misses, but his drafting philosophy is pretty good

 

[MartyOwns]

hop down off the fence, friend. nico/mcleod/zacha down the center in a few years will be glorious. although, and i can't quantify this or provide any sound reasoning other than a gut feeling, i really believe zacha will be traded at some point. he strikes me as the type of player to get packaged and dealt once shero has had a chance to properly evaluate the prospects in our system

edit (for @OmNomNom) if studenic was italian, his name might have been stud nico.

 

[OmNomNom]

where the mods at, studenic's thread is being derailed

his thread shouldn't be worth this much hype... yet...

I knew what he meant, but I don't see why he'd be high on Stud's but low on Bastian.

 

[OmNomNom]

I knew what he meant, but I don't see why he'd be high on Stud's but low on Bastian.

mostly because bastian has had a down year in the A, though most of the team has. plus he's hampered with injury.

i think i get the criticism, because right now, we're closer to seeing what bastian is probably going to be, based on AHL production alone, while there's still hope for studenic. idk if that's how his brain works though

 

[HustleB]

Is Studenic on track to play in the NHL. How do you all feel about the path he is on?

 

[Triumph]

I doubt Studenic plays in the NHL much but I do really like his game from what little I've seen of it. He has an NHL's awareness on the puck and NHL skating ability. Not sure the rest of his game fills out enough for him to get regular NHL time, though. He was another guy who was really coming on at the end of the AHL season - after missing all of January, he had 6 goals in February and seemed to be meshing well with Sharangovich.

 

[Johnny Danger]

played his 1st NHL game recently ... anyone seen him?
