Lol it's really nothing. Sheng said he wanted to reach out to him to check out, so it wasn't unprompted.Why am I more worried after seeing that article?It’s like when someone comes up to you completely unprompted and says “Nothing’s wrong!”.

I figured as much.
It was just funny to see that headline come out of nowhere.

Add a goal and two apples to Luca Cagnonis WHL-D-Leading point-total (+3 in a 10-2 win, 2nd in PPG for D-men)
He’s the Erik Karlsson of Cale Makars

So, Sharks really need to make it deep in the playoffs this year to make sure Will Smith gets a taste of real hockey this year? I kid, I kid.

I mean it’s not IMpossible! Mikael Granlund is our #1 center and William Eklund, our 2nd line center, is playing with two hockey sticks loosely taped to Sharks jerseys. If this isn’t a team that can’t go on a 15+ game winning streak I don’t know what team can.

But players are available to sign as soon as their college season is over. That often starts in early-mid March.
So those not heading to league playoffs nor NCAA playoffs available before mid April.

He is another guy where you wonder if he might be NHL-ready...certainly seems too good for juniors. That being said, it appears like there are still things he could work on.

I imagine the step up to defending fully grown men is going to be a challenge for him. I agree that another year in juniors isn't likely to help him enough in that regard, but I'm sure there's still defensive techniques and such that he can work on. He seems like he'll need time with the Barracuda, and we won't really know what we've got on our hands until we see him there.
Is he driving play or just getting a lot of ice time on a dominant team?
I’m inclined to say that he isn’t the one driving his point totals. He was a late round pick for a reason he is not “too good” for the WHL.

Cagnoni is AHL-eligible next year, I think.

Yeah, I was being a little coy. My point is that he doesn’t have the same “too good for the CHL, maybe not NHL-ready, what do we do with him?” conundrum that we have with Musty.

He probably rides a boar to the rink.

He super fell though, he was considered a 2nd round talent at least by most scouts I read. I think it’s obviously his height that made him drop but maybe Muhk can carry him in his hand like an Ent all game.

I think he just has fewer pathways to NHL success. Due to his size, he's never going to be anything special defensively, so if his offensive game doesn't translate, he doesn't have an NHL future. And, only top point-producers can be downright bad defensively...

That seems like the obvious ceiling. If his offense translates to the pro game and he can improve his defensive game a little...

Cagnoni could be our future Girard, he'll help make that PP2 dangerous. Also with a defensively sound right defencemen, I can see a balanced 5v5. Excited to see where he lands by the end of the day.
