Seriously. The way he's been playing this year, I'm surprised he didn't bump Hrivik/Buchnevich/Nieves from Nyr2k2's top 15 25 and under.

He will soon enough!

Really, though, that list was just our 25-and-under NHL players plus the top seven or eight prospects from our HF list.
 
That goal puts Duclair in a tie for 3rd in goals in the Q. 16th in overall scoring. Good to see.

Mantha is absolutely shredding the league this year. 45 points in 18 games. 20 goals. :amazed:
 
Don Lucia on Brady Skjei. Minnesota lost so many players from their 12-13 team. Some players had to step up.

Third, said Lucia, is that other players would have to emerge and realize a greater potential. “Michael Reilly and Brady Skjei had to take a step and they did this year,” he said.

Both sophomore defensemen are capable of scoring and each has already equaled his goal-scoring output of a season ago. Reilly has three, Skjei has one.

Minnesota is playing at Notre Dame this weekend. Tomorrow nights game is on NBCSN.

The Minnesota team is better this season than last season. Its a younger team with fewer expectations.
 
Duclair had 2 goals (17th and 18th of the season) and an assist last night. He was scoreless today.

I can't find the box scores on the Big 10 hockey website.

He's also 18 playing on a professional team in his first year. Keep that in mind.
 
9 points in 23 games as an 18 year old in the KHL is pretty good.

Nichushkin had 6 points in 18 games last year for reference.

ah yea. i see duclair setting the world on fire in another league then i see him not putting up huge points. completely skipped my mind that duclair is playing against kids relative to his age while buch has much tougher competition against pros.

It's not just 'tougher competition against pros'

This is the second best league in the world. He has 9 points in 23 games.

For reference:
His team leader has 15 points, he's tied for 4th.
Kovalchuk has 25 in 19 games

His team is like... the Hurricanes? Not bottom of the table, but probably not getting in the playoffs.

While Kovy is 5ht in the league in scoring, #1 has 36 points in 23 games :amazed:

I heard that a couple of NHL teams were thinking about signing Colin Suellentrop of the OHL's Oshawa Generals. The 20-year-old defenceman was drafted in 2011 by Philadelphia, which decided against signing him. Suellentrop then went unclaimed last June, although he did attend Montreal's rookie camp. He's from Florida, which makes the Panthers a possibility. But it's also believed the New York Rangers are looking at him. He's worked hard to improve his skating and might be a classic late-bloomer.

Righthanded D
Height 6.01 -- Weight 190
Florida fella just like Yogan
 
Sullentrop is bigger than that. 6'2 and at least 205-210, IMO. His mobility has taken a giant leap forward. Would be a good addition to the pool. Plays a similar game to Mike Sauer. Simple plays, good positioning, and hard on the body.

agreed. on this Rangers defense. Rangers need more of that type of defenseman. sometimes the defense on this team is too passive instead of taking the body when it is needed.

I don't have a great track of the KHL right now either, but its a good league and to an equal extent it can also be a very hard league to score in but it don't have to be, if that makes any sense.

Ie, stats from the KHL is basically just like stats from any other league, just a very rough perimeter. Bush is for example against the exact same opposition scoring much more than Evander Kane did last year (EK had 2 pts in 12 games). Is Bush as a 18 y/o better than Kane?

It comes down to the KHL game, and game in Europe in general, being very team oriented and controlled. If you do not play on a unit that plays a good hockey game, you will not have the puck much. If you don't have the puck much, you just won't score many pts at all no matter how good you are. In other words, its extremely hard to make up for playing on a struggling unit for one individual player even if that player got a boat load of talent.

I think Bush is playing for a pretty weak team, but that has realized what it is and has become good at playing an opertunistic offensive game and they take big risks at the right moments and hence score goals here and there. When they are "lucky" not to give up more goals than they score, they win.

Bush is good at playing that type of game, we have seen him make alot of really good plays. But when looking at his stats, its important to remember that he just as well could have been outside the roster or had like a point or two had he played for another type of team in the KHL.

But he is definitely coming along well and hopefully he will be a key player for Russia in the WJCs. We just shouldn't read too much into his stats.
