Prospect Info: Cliff Pu (2016, 69th) – '18-19: Traded to Carolina

[EichHart]

2 Pts and number one star tonight in 4-1 win.

 

[hizzoner]

He is a great penalty killer as we saw tonight--and set up what should have been a couple more goals and had some great chances of his own. He plays too much until the Knights get a safe lead then gets less playing time so he does not run up a lot more points.

Pu plays the ROR role for London. 1st line Centre that is 1st PP and 1st PK and one of the top face off men in the league so is trusted in all situations. Pu works hard at both ends of the ice and has good hockey sense but his speed is his real calling card. When he attacks defenders with speed he is hard to defend. Very exciting prospect to watch develop over the next couple years. His speed, face off ability and work ethic will make him a pro, it will be his offensive development that will determine where he end up in the lineup.

Interesting to see that this is how Cliff's game was portrayed last year by scouts.

He was expected to be a 2nd-4th round pick based on his all around-game. Now that his offensive game has emerged, I really do wonder if he's a 1st rounder in a re-draft.

He could be, but I see him as more of an early to mid 2nd round guy in a re-draft

Here's our Mitch Marner

Did not get invited to the World Juniors, while a guy like Mike McLeod does...not that I expected him to be there, but Canada definitely has their favorites. I'll probably just cheer for Sweden this year with Nylander and Asplund.

What is wrong with the front office, Pu and Guhle are better than half the guys invited to the camp

I don't know about Guhle, but Pu is clearly better then players picked over him.

I would take him over Myers, Lauzon, and Girard IMO

 

[flashsabre]

Usually I don't get invested in this stuff but McLeod over Pu reaks of status. McLeod has put up 22 points in 20 games and isn't a top defender. I just can't justify him over Pu at all. Nice to see Sportsnet put up a list of top snubs and Pu was first. This looks like one of Canada's weakest teams in a long time, Pu snub aside.

I think we will definitely see Pu on next year's WJC team when it's in Buffalo

Watching this game tonight. Pu has been super dangerous but totally snake-bitten. He kind of reminds me of Derek Roy.

Eeegads. ........... Just no crotch grabbing photos please

The part of Derek Roy that tries to force hero passes through traffic, and snakebit on finishing, yeah. He did look good on the eye test though. Good on faceoffs, and speed was very evident.

Was at the game today. He had a lot of solid chances , His line played outstanding . It was Knights 17 year old Robert Thomas who stole the show with 2 goals both highlight reel and 3 assists in the Knights Teddy Game

 

[stokes84]

That's kind of bs. Max Jones has been injured frequently. Pu was scoring without him.

 

[CaseyMitts37]

London gets crushed by Missisauga 7-3, but Pu walks away as 3rd star of the game with a goal and an assist

2 goals tonight, one of them was an empty net buzzer beater
