Prospect Info: CHL Playoffs (Road to the Memorial Cup)

[Hacketts]

The more I see Wright, the more it doesn't feel right.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Yeah he's a giant so he's gonna be like that for awhile, maybe forever.

Don't think he's an actual prospect. We'll see at camp. We could always sign him to an AHLC put him in ECHL and see how he does.

 

[Rapala]

I think he will be too good for the AHL. He makes the jump.

Watching him play with us last year convinced me long ago.

Charlottetown win Game 2 4-2.
- Simoneau with 1 assist / +1 / 1 SOG / 4 PIM / 1 Hit / 81% FOW
- Trudeau with 2 pts (1G, 1A) / +2 / 5 SOG / 2 PIM / ** Named 1st Star of the Game **


Sherbrooke win Game 2 4-1.
- Roy with 3 assist / +2 / 3 SOG / 3 Hits / ** Named 3rd Star of the Game **

 

[MarkovsKnee]

That was a great play by VanSteelsel. He has to take the faceoff because his center was thrown out. He realizes he's probably going to lose it to Wright, so when the puck drops he ignores it, jumps around Wright and poke checks the puck to boards, wins that battle which eventually leads to a 2 on 1. No goal, but lmao.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

ENG. 5-3

 

[MarkovsKnee]

The more I see Wright, the more it doesn't feel right.

Idk, I actually liked his game tonight. The D was so bad he had to do a lot of power skating. He's actually fast. Big quads.

5-4 now.

Lol..
It's the one time ever you wish you go 2nd..
OR, you shock the world and DONT take #1 consensus..
If anyone would do it? Hughes and Gorts could..

Personally I think we get a top 6 center either way.. but Wright deeeeeefinitely makes it hard to get overly excited lol

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Chromiak scored. Wright was in front too.

 

[Hacketts]

Shane Wright = Bo Callahan?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

That should do it. Another ENG. 6-4.

Yup. North Bay wins 1st game.

Next game is Sunday at 2 pm.

I just don't see what makes Wright that much better than Cooley. He doesn't have the puck on his stuck enough, while Cooley has it on a string. Not that impressed by his 2-way game tonight, I feel like he could of found an extra gear on a couple of those plays. He seemed to fade into the background a bit too much tonight, and it's a big playoff game.

North Bay wins Game 1 6-4
- Vrbetic with 25 saves on 29 SOG for a .862 SV%

He gave up 2 bad goals in 3rd.

Only explanation is size+league really

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I really wanted Coe in 2020. We didn't have a 3rd rounder, but had three 4ths. Wish we were able to trade into late 3rd to take him.

We should have drafted him with one of 2nd round pick.

 

[Whitesnake]

Trade the pick for 6th and 12th.

 

[Goldenhands]

5-4 now.

Slow, weak, soft. He stinked. Started to put a bit more effort at 3-0, but still was a no show.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Trade the pick for 6th and 12th.

If there is a draft to do it, It's this year.

 

[Goldenhands]

Trade the pick for 6th and 12th.

We could end up with Mintyukov and Kasper. That would be amazing, but I would stay put and draft Jiricek or Slaf.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Trade the pick for 6th and 12th.

Only if they also swap their Florida 2023 1st with Columbus's 2023 1st

 

[Adam Michaels]

Trade the pick for 6th and 12th.

Mathias Brunet, is that you?

He said the same thing. He would trade the pick to Columbus for their 6th and 12th.

Of course after the lottery, some of those picks will be in different spots.

I don't know. I'd be fine not doing it. But this draft, I think you can have a better value with 2 top 15 picks. I mean, the first one is still at 6th. Let,s take a regular mock draft, let say Wright, Cooley, Slaf, Nemec, Jiricek and Savoie are gone.

You will be able with the 2 picks to get 2 guys between: Korchinski, Lambert, Kemell, Nazar, Lekkerimaki, Geekie, Mintyukov, Gauthier, Kulich, Oslund.

I'm not sure if it's him or the system, but yes, he doesn't go to the boards. He's 3rd man high in both O-zone and D-zone. Rarely goes that last 15 feet or so at either end, and doesn't engage physically at all. It's stick reach all the time. He doesn't front guys, put physical pressure (trap) them or pressure anyone from behind even though he definitely has the speed to do this.

He's definitely not slow. He almost caught up to 2 players on breakaways while coming from further back. He beat his own D back & got within solid hooking/slashing distance. He has top end speed. He just doesn't use it. He spends most of his time gliding and not actually skating.

Watching him skate to get up to speed on the breakaways, you could see the kid already has pretty big quads. His starts-ups, acceleration, change of direction are all really smooth.

I thought he had a fairly strong 3rd. The whole team was a no show in first 2.

I think with Wright it's all about getting his pace up. He plays at a slow pace. The effort he put in to catch up to the breakaways is the effort he needs to put in ALL the time.

He is able to raise his level of play. He just needs to do it far more consistently, like more than 2-3 shifts a game.

You draft him & hope he "levels" up as

Or we get another Drouin. Both in effort and appearance
