Prospect Info: Hartford Wolf Pack/Cincinnati Cyclones Thread: Part XV

I don't know if Roobroeck is still at 205 lbs. but if he is at 6'7 he probably still needs to fill out a little. He's had a really good year though and he's coming on strong towards the end which he did last year towards the end of the OHL season and into the playoffs. He's not as fast as Edstrom or Rempe. He's closer to Brian Boyle. I think he's putting himself into the conversation as to seriously competing for an NHL job in the pretty near future. I wonder what a line of Roobroeck, Rempe and Edstrom might be like?

When has Drury not do that. Traded Mancini away for a team that isn't close to becoming a consistent playoff team. Love JT Miller but, the Rangers aren't a piece away unless he was traded here to replace Mika and Kreider next season as one of the vet leaders here.

He also got a pretty good LD in that same deal in Dorrington.
 
Roobroeck is having a very nice debut campaign, but we should pump the brakes on him a bit. It's hard for guys with skating issues to stick in the NHL, so he's far from a given. Edstrom for example is a good skater and while Rempe turns like a semi, he has excellent top end speed.

Also not clear where the narrative comes from that Drury will ship out prospects for old guys. In the past few years:

Out
Mancini
Korczak
Grubbe
Rueschoff
Skinner
Lundkvist
Reunanen
Barron
Keane

From that list, I'd take back...Barron? I'm not including Kravtsov or Andersson because I don't really consider them prospects, but if you do, you can add them to the list and it doesn't really change much. This goes back to the beginning of 2020.

We're more likely to trade draft picks.

From everything is saw of him in Oshawa and limited clips in Hartford, I don’t think he’s a bad skater. Better than Rempe IMO but without the top end speed you mentioned. He can also improve as he fills out and gets stronger overall. Coming on toward the end of his first pro season is what you want to see.

I hope the new coach gives us:

Edstrom-Roobroeck-Rempe

At minimum to see in the preseason
