Prospect Info: 9OA: Nate Danielson

[Barry Amsterdam]

Put some respect on 7th round pick Brett Hyland's name.

no

Not sure how Danielson is supposed to develop on a team where he's literally 100 percent of the offense.

It would probably help if his wingers looked for open ice instead of skating right at the defenders. Watch his linemates on the replay.

I really wish he had better linemates. Oh well.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

I am not concerned with Nate's junior numbers this year. We saw what he is capable of against higher competition. Just don't get hurt out there Nate.

I was hoping/thinking they would play him with one of McQueen/Hadland. Would really like to see him and McQueen on the same line.

He can't play in the AHL this year.

In keeping with a consistent theme, of my ignorance, I have read a view related items.

CHL players like Danielson cannot play in the AHL in the first year of the ELC because of the transfer agreement between the CHL and the NHL. OHL, WHL, and QMJHL teams do not want their players leaving the CHL ranks while still young enough to be eligible if it isn't to play NHL rather than AHL hockey.

In the NHL, any player under the age of 25 (as of September 15th in the year of the deal) signing their first contract must sign an entry-level contract or ELC. For players between 18 and 21, the entry-level deal is three years long. Because Danielson is just 18 at the time of signing, he is eligible for his ELC to "slide" this season.

Per our friends at PuckPedia, "When a player on an entry-level contract is 18 or 19 (as of Sept 15) their entry level contract is slide eligible. This means their team may choose to return them to junior and avoid using a year of their contract. In this case the contract slides. The net effect is that the term length of their contract doesn't start." As such, Danielson could in theory play up to nine NHL games this season, while remaining slide eligible.

Haven't seen a collapse like that in a while. Brandon was up 4-2 with 3 min left and Seattle went on to win 6-4 in regulation. They scored 4 goals in a little over a minute

is he coming to brandon

is he coming to brandon

Based on his post draft play, they might have to bubble wrap him to survive the flight over.

 

[heyfolks]

If he can't play in the AHL and isn't ready for the NHL, why not head to the SEL?

 

[Holden Caufield]

If he can't play in the AHL and isn't ready for the NHL, why not head to the SEL?

Because he is under contract to Brandon/WHL, same reason he is not allowed to play AHL.

I think He is fine playing in the WHL this year.
It would be nice to see him break out and dominate his peers before moving to professional.

Bullet dodged.

He's also an 18 year old kid. You can't just make him move to a whole new country, adjust to a new language/culture, just because it 'might' develop him better.

Bullet dodged.

I remember preferring Dvorsky before the draft just based on where scouts had him, but then when the Wings passed on him I told myself they had plenty of opportunities to scout him and clearly saw something that gave them pause...

kasper moved from austria to sweden at what 16(?) and learned the language/culture/play style in a matter of seconds!
