Prospect Info: 9OA: Nate Danielson

[DamonDRW]

Bergeron did score over 2 PPG and won WJC tournament MVP and gold medal. That is his ONLY sample as a junior level player over the age of 17.

Do you remember who Bergeron played with on that Canada team? That whole roster is HOF.

 

[Henkka]

Make it 5 points (1+4)

2+9 = 11 points at last 5 games.

 

[RRhoads]

 

[Astyanax]

2+9 = 11 points at last 5 games.

So, can everyone officially relax. Plus, he had that elusive muli point game!

 

[schuelma24]

Up to 1.18 ppg for the entire year, 1.58 with Portland.

 

[RRhoads]

I don't remember the last time I saw such a good newly drafted player for us in the preseason. He was great at reading the play, and so calm while playing. I can see him becoming the 1C in a few years.

 

[Indrid Cold]

Can an argument be made that a young player's style who's having success in the pro's does NOT translate well to the minor leagues?

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

He is going to be Larkin 2.0.

I look forward to all the "he isn't a 1C" talk with him from this board. Nate will carry that torch from Dylan. We already have a good amount of people who still think he was a bad pick, for some stupid reason.

 

[Frk It]

One of his assists

I could watch this on a loop.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

I almost wonder if Portland will hurt his development a bit. That team is steamrolling teams these days. Game is a little too easy for the Winterhawks right now.

Won't be this easy at the higher levels.

Ah, Nate is a super smart player, I shouldn't over think it.

Only scoring a point per game on a bad Brandon team: hurt development, low potential. ‘Only ThIrD LiNeR…’

Scoring above a point per game on a good Portland team: game too easy, might make him develop bad habits, ‘yeah, but Sam Gagner was a jr superstar…’

Am I doing this thread right?

 

[jaster]

So does Danielson not suck anymore? Or still sucks? What's his suck/60?

 

[SirloinUB]

Can an argument be made that a young player's style who's having success in the pro's does NOT translate well to the minor leagues?

I think there is definitely some validity to that. And truthfully people have said it in different terms.

Danielson doesnt cheat out of his defensive zone for a quick rush and he doesn't linger in the offensive zone when the puck starts moving the other way.

Guys that do those things tend to put up big numbers in juniors but their play style actually holds them back at the next level.

His suck/60 is somewhat higher than Monica Lewinsky's, but still not as high as your mom's.

Give this man a cigar! Oh wait. That might be one joke too many.

 

[RedHawkDown]

I think he makes the roster next year to be honest. I really hope he does, at least.
We have too many plugs on this team. Can he be sent down to the AHL when he turns 20 in September?

Kasper 1C next year in GR, hopefully a callup halfway through the year.

Yep, he's AHL eligible which is why I was super glad we capitalized on maximizing the gains of his final junior year. We're getting a better player, faster.

Frankly, for that, I don't think he sees a day in the AHL. He's naturally gonna need a small adjusting time when the regular season starts but he'll be solid all year I think.

 

[RRhoads]

We are going to have to rely on ELCs next year

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

We are going to have to rely on ELCs next year

Mixing controlled ELCs and high veteran contracts is a good way to maximize your window. With the inflow of young talent we are experiencing and will see over the next few years the Wings have a good shot of bringing home at least one cup in the next 5 years. I'd like to see them start trading picks for roster improvement.

I think we've also reached the point where Yzerman needs to start being careful with his acquisitions and not just signing warm bodies, but I also thought that last year and then we ended up with Holl.

[Detroit Knights]

like some have said (cough) he is our next larkin (most likely)

We are going to have to rely on ELCs next year

a lot of our ELCs are pretty good ones to rely on..

 

[norrisnick]

You kind of need to call up kids in order to rely on ELCs...

Odds are we have fewer ELCs next season than we have this season (Mo and Ray).

I guess my thinking is being positionally sound for the NHL game would leave you 'out of position' in a league that's not the NHL.

I was in a street basketball tourney a long time ago, and a few fringe NBA players didn't do well at all. They were likely the most talented players there, but that pro style discipline didnt do as well in an up and down street game.

You forgot to add something along the lines of "He's getting D-zone starts, therefore he is LFG"

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

I think getting D zone starts in junior is great. I think a guy who can score PPG in the WHL while playing in all three zones is far more likely to make it as a middle six guy than someone who scores 1.5 PPG and only plays offense.

 

[Gniwder]

Yeah, at worst he's "Helm with Hands", lol. Or maybe I should change that to "LFG with Hands" so that Ogee is happy.
