Given the turmoil at UMICH I wonder is Samkovich might come out early and join Charlotte this year
It's a little shady, but hopefully not. College is good for him right now. That level is perfect for him right now and he gets to spend a lot of time in the gym(hopefully he is). He needs to get a little bigger and stronger. I don't think he'd be that good right now in the A, plus Charlotte is a little stacked up front.Given the turmoil at UMICH I wonder is Samkovich might come out early and join Charlotte this year

Our prospect pool is a lot more modest now, but still underrated.Ludvig Jansson is on Team Sweden (last minute call-up), while Sandis Vilmanis made the Latvian team.
If my numbers are right, that means we have five players in the WJC: Samsko (USA), Puutio (Florida North), Kos (Czechia), and these two. Might have had Sourdif (Canada) if he wasn't injured. Not bad for a weak prospect pool!
Watched/watching the first two days: didn't see much from Kos. Vilanis is trying to do too much. Puutio had a good rushOur prospect pool is a lot more modest now, but still underrated.
Kos has a shot. Need to see more from him. There might not be anything else there, but maybe with longterm development he can be molded into a player. I've been reading up on Vilmanis, and he didn't disappoint. Extremely skilled kid, with size and a great skater too. I can see why some draft geeks had him in their top 90. But yeah, his game needs a lot of refinement. We might have something with him though. Puutio isn't bad. Idk if he's an NHLer, but he might make a callup or two. He looks like he could be maybe a bottom pairing PMD. But he's not quite talented enough offensively to play the pp imo, and his defense isn't good enough to really be a two-way guy. I don't really see a role for him in the NHL.Watched/watching the first two days: didn't see much from Kos. Vilanis is trying to do too much. Puutio had a good rush
I felt like Vilmanis floated a lot this game, but perhaps that was the right strategy for this game.Kos has a shot. Need to see more from him.

and another one. putio looking goodAnother goal for Puutio; he's puutiong up some nice goals this WJC
a lot of people dont like his defense but dude is a stud for sure, i think he has the swagger to put it together and make it for us.and another one. putio looking good
1 plus 2 todaya lot of people dont like his defense but dude is a stud for sure, i think he has the swagger to put it together and make it for us.
I think chemistry: he was on the top line with Beniers in the first try at the WJC...Mackie kinda reminds me of giroux.. seems very good every shift with a ton of talent.. kinda wonder why he isn't on a higher line at this point
Given our lack of good D, I sure hope we’re looking at him in a couple of years. He looks at least as good as Olli Määttä.Puutio is getting better and better since last 2 years...Some players stop they're devellopment but he seems to be stronger than before( he his even bigger than last year, not a big player but better size than last year)and confident. Florida should keep and eye on this good prospect!
