Prospect Info: CBJ Prospect Thread VI

[CBJWerenski8]

Thank god the US is out. Tried to be big and bad because they're America but the Russians didn't have any of it. Bye bye.

At least we can possibly medal and didn't resort to cheap shots and *****ing at officials when we got down. Hopefully we don't have any newspapers shaming an 18 or 19 year old kid.

Ron Wilson is a moron. "There's nothing else to play for so we might as well try to get the two points." This isn't the NHL you idiot, and you can still get bronze.

Milano robbed of player of the game.

I thought he was the best in the first part of the game, but he was part of the problem for the US after they were playing from behind. It looked to me like guys stopped using their teammates. And of course Milano missed the net on the last powerplay.

"Two points"

Werenski picked a bad game to look like ****. This game is over unless the Russians get penalty happy or a lucky bounce.

He played bad, but I think he was tired. Like I said the first few games, their coach was playing him WAY too much. They play too many games in a short time to play guys so many minutes. Especially when they were good enough to not have to rely just on a few defensemen.

It is almost special how Milano despite all the individual skill will harness it for the team's use spreading the play. His selfishness is almost a virtue - take for example the warm-up were he first skated in larger circles, then went by the bench with one American buddy still on the ice besides him. Milano took a sharp turn, deking the geezer approaching to step off the ice and leaving himself as the king of rink.

So.. Bittner had hip surgery? And he's out indefinitely? Surprised I've seen nothing on here about it.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Rangers fan here come in piece, I have a question about a prospect I was hoping one of you can answer.

Where does Paul Bittner rank in terms of your prospect pool? I've heard good things about him, and have been trying to follow him. Would he be ranked ahead of someone like Rychel or Milano? And ideal once he makes it to the big club where do you project him to play?

 

[Fro]

i think probably right up there next to them...before his injury, he was playing pretty well...

Fascinating move... Milano done in Lake Erie for the season?

 

[Nanabijou]

This totally caught me off-guard. Can someone fill me in on why it would be a benefit to send Sonny back to junior now? It's not like the Monsters are out of the playoff picture.

My thought was if Lake Erie falls out of a playoff position.

We've certainly done a lot of work to ensure that happens, taking both starting goalies, Hanni, and likely Anderson/Rychel when forwards start moving at TDL.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

They must not be satisfied with his play in Lake Erie (if they send him back.)

 

[Viqsi]

Oy gevalt. Can we just officially claim London as a development team of ours and be done with it?

His Junior rights were traded, does that necessarily mean he'll ever be seen in London?

 

[Nanabijou]

No, but weird to do unless it was broached as a definite possibility with CBJ management. I guess it does make sense if Monsters are out of the playoffs, but it will be pretty shocking if he gets sent down soon.

[major major]

I know it's not a fait accompli, but it seems a lot of folks are expecting Milano to get sent back to junior because he's struggling in the AHL. How often does a player get sent from the AHL level back down to juniors?

'Struggles to play within team concept'

Is this a common criticism of young and talented prospects?

I'll preface this by saying I have never watched a CHL game, but is sending him back to a place where the top-end players should dominate really be the best way to teach him to play within a team concept?

Yeah that's when I'm thinking. They must be really exasperated with his play in Lake Erie if they think juniors is going to teach him the team game.

London does have a good development record though.

[futurcorerock]

Oh boy, I love a good analyst shootout.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Why.. why would they make this trade? Why would he be sent down?! His point production hasn't been bad for an AHL rookie.
