LW/RW Jackson Blake (2021, 109th, CAR)

4 points in 8 games with limited minutes. Can anyone who has seen him play give some info how he has looked? Thanks a lot

He's been amazing. In my opinion he should be top 5 in Calder voting atm. Has the 3rd highest p/60 with 8:57 TOI/GP which is ridiculously less than other rookies with 4+ points.

Thanks. Potential Top6 wing in the future? What do you think?

Definitely. He looks really, really good in the ice time that he has. He has very good skill with the puck but is also a pretty tenacious player. He isn't the strongest player but his strength is off-the-charts good for a guy who just turned 21.

It sucks to lose Guentzel, but the exciting part of that is it allows Jackson Blake to make the team, and we'll eventually need his cap space when we are re-signing Jackson.

We should also wait to see how he looks during the dog days of the season. I hope his frame can handle the rigors of 82 games against grown men. I imagine he might lose steam in the back half.

Didn't you mean Blake has played 10:38 TOI/GP?

He's my darkhorse. Could easily see him post 50+ points if he's able to earn more ice time.

It’s kinda weird on the NHL stats website I saw 10:38 and 8:57. I forgot what I was sorting by.

Looks like he's sticking around for a while. Cool way the Canes involved his Dad to inform Jackson.

 

[Hanji]

Good for him. I though he wasn't ready physically and could've used another year at UND. Pleasantly surprised to be wrong.

Hope and think he’ll get some time in the top 6 this year. Roslovic has been getting minutes with Aho and Svechnikov and would love to see Blake on that line.
