Prospect Info: Coyotes @ The WJC and General WJC 2018 Talk

[Alberta Yote]

The Coyotes need the Tampa Bay or St. Louis scouts

...the 17-year-old scouts say will be better than Erik Karlsson

Welp...so much for that kid.

 

[Summer Rose]

I don't know what Brady Tkachuk's draft stock is like. <sarcasm> Since we'll be picking 5th because we'll play well when it doesn't matter and end up finishing 30th place and have the lotteries for 1-3 won by teams above us </sarcasm> is he worth a look with the 5OA pick?

Yes. My only concern would be passing on Hughes in event OEL wants out.

 

[Alberta Yote]

While it would be tough to get in much of a rhythm with only a few short shifts per period but Steenbergen doesn't seem to accomplish much at this level.

 

[Mosby]

I don't think Tkachuk's available at 5.

 

[hbk]

I don't think Tkachuk's available at 5.

Highest Tkachuk goes is 3.

 

[Mosby]

I think he goes 4.

 

[Mosby]

Man, was Pho ever bang on about Mittelstadt.

 

[hbk]

I think he goes 4.

He may go a top 2 at this rate. I have to acknowledge my bias early. I absolutely love his play.

 

[Jakey53]

Man, was Pho ever bang on about Mittelstadt.

Which was?

 

[Mosby]

I believe he had him top of his draft list last year, ahead of Nico.

 

[Alberta Yote]

Mittelstadt looks really really good. And I'd easily take Tkachuk if the Coyotes draft 3rd. He'd probably quickly become my favorite player as a Yote.

 

[Heldig]

Steenburgen gets his first shift 6 minutes into the game. Clearly he is the 13th forward on team Canada.

 

[Alberta Yote]

He should have stayed in Swift Current and played some hockey.

That said when he does get out there he seldom seems to get in areas where he might be dangerous. Quite unimpressive.

 

[Heldig]

Hard to get in the flow of the game as the 13th forward playing 2 or 3 shifts a period. Pre game the coach talked about him as canadas best natural goal scorer but he sure is not being used that way.

You would think he would have been used in the shootout.

 

[Alberta Yote]

He was getting some PP time in the first couple of games but not even that any more.

 

[Alberta Yote]

Also Makar has been getting the fewest minutes of any Canada dman despite playing better than any of the rest. Coaches do tend to get pre determined ideas stuck in their heads.

Steenbergen: Team Canada’s shootout specialist? - Article - TSN

 

[zerekstar]

Looks like NYR picked well with our 7OA.

 

[Summer Rose]

Casey Mittelstadt has the puck on a string. I bet Rick Tocchet thinks he's sticky.

[Heldig]

I have actually liked steenburgens game. He is fast. He keeps his feet moving. He dashes into space. He is defensively responsible.

He has been a little unlucky this tournament and clearly is lacking chemistry with all the line switching, limited ice time etc. While he finally registered a point he has been involved in several goals.
