Prospect Info: CBJ Prospect Thread V

[Tulipunaruusu*]

Yeah, well Collins might have had rough time but I think that is more than understandable given his his frame. Which should always be kept in mind when judging him and similar prospects and especially their potential projection. Sure there are plenty of work still to be done.

Tulipunaruusu-
A little off topic, but I do think there are "make or break" years in determining where prospects stand in the organization, NHL potential, and in our subjective "fan minds". I personally think Michael Chaput had his last year, some may say Oscar Dansk.
So, are there any prospects this year that are facing a "make or break" year or heck even a season where it interests you in their development?

I think there is always a chance as long as someone is contracted and doesn't struggle with something else beyond ice hockey.

Especially if there is a reason to believe that someone is a late bloomer, still in his introduction season or just put in not the most welcoming environment for one's blossoming. Dansk for example wasn't really coming along in Northern America - maybe it will change when he returns to more familiar surroundings with potentially much better goaltending coaching and can once again focus on his game. Timeframe-wise it might be rough schedule ahead but Dansk has now been given good surroundings at Rögle. I don't see why he couldn't still turn out to be Swedish top division/NHL caliber goaltender.

Of course for example Chaput had better chance last year and while there are better centremen contracted I guess for fourth line duty he is still there in the mix when it comes to AHL call-ups. How the whole AHL thing turns around... I think it it is fair to give them pre-season before starting predicting future.

Milano scratched during the last game, kids a lock for the team (obviously)

I still wonder if jarmo and co. Keeps him in the AHL instead of world juniors if he's producing well.

My guess is he'll play in the worlds unless he's forced his way onto the NHL team at that time (for example, if injuries occur).

Rumor that Quennville is headed to Finland for next year

Rumor that Quennville is headed to Finland for next year

http://www.2112hockeyagency.com/our-clients.html

That is apparently the original source. Mike Hedden from the same player agency played for Ässät last season so the Aces of Pori would be the most likely destination at this point. Porian crazyness. Spade hearts.

 

[Doggy]

Even though it has been more than two years since he was drafted and he has yet to sign with the Blue Jackets, Quenneville’s rights remain with Columbus. The Blue Jackets will own his rights until June 1, 2017, because Quenneville was drafted out of the USHL and was headed to the NCAA’s Quinnipac University. He played five games with Quinnipac before leaving to join the Wheat Kings in 2013-14.

Ässät head coach is saying there is no contact with Quenneville.

The Lynx of Tampere, Ilves, former loan club of Joonas Korpisalo and closely connected with CBJ director of amateur scouting Ville Siren then moves to number one spot in Quenneville-sweeptakes.

Probably the list i agree with most so far. I still wonder about Madaisky but hopefully he builds on last year

RE: Salituro that tweet was from post draft rookie camps. Here's an interview where the coach says he's coming to a CBJ camp...

He's still listed on the Canes developmental roster, but I can't vouch for the accuracy.

For anyone doubting Werenski(if there's anyone that really is.) This should help you feel better.

Chris Chelios comments on Werenski at the Evaluation camp

So when Chelios, currently age 53, is impressed by a young defenseman, it means something. Chelios coached the United States’ defensemen at the Evaluation Camp for the 2016 World Junior Championships in Lake Placid, and was particularly impressed by 2015 Blue Jackets first-round draft pick Zach Werenski.

“He’s done everything right (in camp),” Chelios said of Werenski. “He keeps the play simple – a real steady eddy. Probably one of the top guys as far as being consistent every game. Like I said, he’s doing everything right. There’s not one bad thing you can say about his game.”

Chelios wasn’t the only one in Lake Placid this week impressed by Werenski. Fellow Blue Jackets draftees Sonny Milano and Ryan Collins, also participants in Evaluation Camp and candidates to make Team USA, also took notice of their fellow Columbus prospect.

“He’s a really poised d-man,” Milano said. “Man, he’s really smart. Every time he gets the puck, he gets it out of the zone with a good pass. A solid all-around player.”

“He’s really, really steady,” Collins added. “He seems very comfortable out here. Seeing him play, you cannot help but expect a lot from him.”

Sound like some other kid on our roster?!?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Hopefully he has a great year at Michigan and great WJ's. Wouldn't bet against him being on the roster next season.

 

[ndd17]

Hopefully he has a great year at Michigan and great WJ's.

And sign with Blue Jackets.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

And sign with Blue Jackets.

He will. Either next summer or the summer after that. 0% chance he's not a Blue Jacket unless we trade him.

Nothing is ever 0%...

 

[CBJx614]

Nothing is ever 0%...

I agree with Wennberg. If he's not signed by next summer could see them looking to move him before letting him go for (basically) nothing.

However I don't think that's gonna happen as I think he'll push for a spot next season. I think Golo solidifies himself in the bottom 4 while next season Werenski takes a spot from Prout and Connauoton

 

[Fro]

sounds like Dansk had a bad outing in Rogle's first preseason game...many regulars sat though...more of the same, team in front of him not giving him any help...hopefully just a preseason thing...

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Nothing is ever 0%...

Sorry, 1%.

Sorry, 1%.

No matter how rare Reilly's situation is, I won't say anything is absolute anymore...
