Prospect Info: 2020 WJC NYR Prospect Speculation

[GeorgeKaplan]

Samuelsson blows.

But he’s so tall!

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Jones has been more impressive than Miller so far.

Miller has been very disappointing this season

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Wahlstrom is a very very flawed player.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

USA doesn’t look good this period at all. And the pace to Sweden/Finland has been great

 

[Mac n Gs]

My main issue with K’Andre’s current style is how straight-up he is when defending in the zone. He gives away his physical advantage and causes himself to be flatfooted. Even a simple play like just happened where a forward chips it and chases him outside can become a problem because he’s stuck and can’t turn around quickly.

It’s an easy problem to fix with coaching and practice, so I hope they nip this in the bud soon.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Dre on the ice for a PP goal against.

Not much he can do about that. He screened the goalie but him going down there was the right move.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Wahlstrom is a very very flawed player.

Brandon Pirri 2.0

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Sandin out here killing off his own team’s powerplay

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Holy cow Wahlstrom is an idiot.

Don’t care if he’s older, you don’t make a puck hog at this level one of your captains.

 

[kovazub94]

So many promising dman prospects.

So little depth at forward for us.

Our high-end forwards are bit more further along in their development (Chytil, Kakko, Kravtsov) compared to relatively similar high-end defensemen. You can definitely even argue that these forwards have higher upside.

Sweden was a mess in the 2nd.

But it’s usually like this early in the tournament. Takes a bit of time to settle down.

WJC > NHL play offs > SHL > Liiga > Olympics without NHL players > NHL reg season > WC > Olympics with NHL players > WCH

Lol, if I ever saw a pro-Euro (anti-NA?) bias, buddy...

 

[Lays]

How does K’Andre and Jones look

 

[kovazub94]

USA - Canada, Sweden - Finland. Czech Republic - Russia... What a way to open up a tournament with a bang!

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Lol, if I ever saw a pro-Euro (anti-NA?) bias, buddy...

Just listing what I enjoy watching more. SHL and Liiga mostly because it's 7 PM and not f***ing 1 AM haha

I also like watching more obscure players so the Olympics without NHL players is more interesting for me personally

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I feel like all the intensity has been sucked out of hockey. This doesn’t feel like a rivalry game at all.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Kupari being helped off the ice, not putting weight on his left leg after he tried to jump away from a hit and his knee/thigh took the full hip check

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

USA’s penalty killing is ass

 

[Trxjw]

USA is just chasing and chasing in their own end.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Lafreniere is so good.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Big goal Canada!

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

John Beecher moves very very well for his size.

Probably a lock to be an NHLer in some capacity.

 

[Maximus]

Wow...what a shot there by Robertson....we got ourselves a game boyz

 

[Maximus]

Ok you prospect watchers....who is the best NHL comparison to Lafrenier?

I've only watched some highlight packages of his. I'd trust those of y'all who have watched him more than I have....thoughts?

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Sweden ties it with 5:08 left
