I really am surprised he signed - how can he play in the AHL at 18 being drafted out of the CHL?? He can only play a few games this year correct, like an ATO? He cannot stay in the AHL...as far as I have known the rules to be..

He did sign with the Sharks, but also is on an ATO with the Barracuda for the rest of the season.

he can sign with the Sharks which is fine, but he cannot play with them next year either.

The only reason he's able to play in the AHL right now is because his junior team's season is over. That's the only scenario/option that let's him play in the AHL as 18 year old CHL kid.

He can play with the Sharks but not the Barracuda. Will be interesting to see if he goes the over seas route next year. Does he benefit more from playing with men compared to staying with the 67’s...

that is correct, I have no idea why I worded it like that...he is still NHL or CHL for next year and not AHL.

Nasty.

Doug Wilson loves drafting 67's players. He's drafted seven 67's players over the last 14 years. He played his junior hockey for the 67's and he knows that Brian Kilrea is great at developing younger players. It's pretty cool that Sasha is a California kid too. So far looks like a steal in the draft. The 67's are also ranked #2 in the country, they're great this year.

I believe Kilrea's been completely uninvolved with them for the last ~8 seasons.

He doesn't have an official title anymore, but he is around the team a lot and provides advice/insight to the front office.

It's too bad this was the year I decided to leave Ottawa after 4 years. Would have loved to go see the 67s this year, sounds like a great team to watch.

Cool, thanks for the correction. Thought I recalled him saying something to the contrary.

As the above poster said he's still around, I think he may help in some sort of consultant/scouting role. But the culture he brought to the club is still there.

5 goals night

 

[matt trick]

Chmelevski, Blichfeld, Checkovich

One of those three might just be our next Joe Pavelski

Unfortunately for Chmelevski, he's the only one of that trio that wasn't a 7th rounder like Pavelski.

But hot damn, that second goal.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Should be allowed to trade 2 picks to a team for 1, but that team has to draft who they would at that pick. 4th and a 5th for San Jose's 6th, but they gotta draft all 3.

That's how you stay competitive, by finding gems late in the draft. Almost seems like it's every year they find one, but you obviously don't know that until a year, or 3 down the road.

 

[Makoshark]

Kids gonna be a player. Good production in the AHL last year and the clutch performances in the WJC have me feeling pretty bullish about his chances to become a future top 6 forward.

 

[Ana Crusis]

Which of the 3 plays better defensively?

Chmelevski, Blichfeld, Checkovich

One of those three might just be our next Joe Pavelski

 

[Used As A Shield]

It's weird anytime there is a sharks prospect on the first page of the prospects board.

 

[Oak]

This kid should be getting way more hype than this. He looked great at the WJC.

If he were a Flyers prospect, he’d have three threads by now.
