Eric Jamieson D 177 2024 DRAFT

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Couldn't find a thread.



Jamieson is a shutdown defenceman with high-ebd physicality. He seeks out contact – big and small – and instantly punishes opponents who make the mistake of entering his space. When he’s not launching opponents through the air, he’s breaking up rushes with instant pressure, boxing out opponents around the net, and occasionally jumping into the play. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
 
In his interview after the draft. Tod Button said Jamieson was someone they were looking at last year too and they've been watching him for 3 years.
 
If you're picking players in this range, it makes sense to pick locally. If they're a fan, especially for a team like Calgary that isn't as attractive a destination, and they somehow make the show, they might stick around rather than dip in free agency. While this is a Jamieson thread, this also touches upon Basha who is an incredible snag at his spot
 
Also fits the profile of certain d prospects we've snagged like Hurtig. I think it's getting more obvious we might actually be trying batch development.

Really cool idea and I think it benefits prospects going forward. It's better to be in a log jam and be able to ask to move to another team and still benefit the org that drafted you than developed poorly in another org and the org simply moving on.
