2024 27th Overall Marek Vanacker

[clydesdale line]

Isn't skating an issue with Greentree and thus why he was sliding?

I dont believe Hawks were ever looking at Greentree because of concerns on skating

Yup. That's why I pointed out I wouldn't be surprised if he was on their DND list because of it.

Here is the video I was talking about @Hull2Roenick2Kane

This was after the Greentree pick (ignore the terrible "Dylan Robinson botched audio, whoever that is Similar to Kyle being ecstatic last year when Winnipeg taking Barlow at #18 cuz he wanted Oliver Moore all along). He and his staff wanted Vanacker all along.

^Like his enthusiasm. Will see how it plays out over the next few years.

This guy accomplished a lot without Lardis and a injured labrum.....got to trust in KD and staff, I guess.

Looking forward to his return .

Looking forward to his return .

vanaker and Roman kanterov who are both hurt are probably some of our highest rated wings. those 3 and mustard are the ones Im really looking at this year. they will all probably arrive in 2 years along with spellacy, Boisvert gajan. and as a guess Lardis, greene, Rinsel, thompson and Morre next off season.

Vanacker has the tools to be a super effective power forward type player who is likely to be a glue guy in the top 6 in the future IMOP. Pumped to watch his growth this year.

MarekVanacker will play his 1st game of the 24/25 OHL season tomorrow night (Friday Nov.29th) ...backk nthe Brantford lineup after long time out in re-hab from surgery ...they pkay Oshawa..

Interested to see of Brantford puts hom with Lardisvor on2nd line to create stronger 2 line threat.

Best pick in the '24 draft is back!

Not sure if this was ever posted but a great scouting vid on Vanacker:

 

[TLEH]

A pointless two games back from injury.

He plays tonight against Kitchener. I'll be watching.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

 

[Cashman]

Is he on the Lardis line?

Vanacker should really be great next year once he has an offseason to build up strength after surgery
