[Power Surge]

Jason Blake's kid looking like a good one in a small sample size so far

Jason was an Islander right? I think I remember him.

 

[DaveG]

Jason was an Islander right? I think I remember him.

Yep, Isle and (I think) Leaf around the time of the lost season, has a few 20 goal seasons and a monster 40 goal season right after the lockout to his record.

Todd and Tyler Bertuzzi are uncle/nephew right?

There were the Sutters but I think only one son Brandon made it right?

Yup they are uncle and nephew.

To be fair, we haven't had many father to son recent successes.

Stephan Matteau
Martin Brodeur (2 sons drafted in the NHL)
Claude Lemiuex

Maybe I'm forgetting others but Kasperi was atleast a half successful than the peers mentioned above.

The Tkachuks is doing alright. Oh and Mattias Samuelsson is alright

Yep. And yeah a handful of the Sutter kids got a cup of coffee but Brandon was the only regular

Tkachuk was brought up earlier but it had me thinking if only Roenick had a son who made it and were on the same line as one of the brothers, how cool that would have been to see the same chemistry as their fathers back in the early days of the Coyotes

 

[Hobnobs]

There is also Josh Norris, Mason Mactavish and Jason Marchment

Wouldve been cooler if Roenick had a son and Derian Hatchers son broke his jaw

Tkachuk brothers?
Nylander?

Tkachuk brothers?
Nylander?

Uh huh, what about em?

 

[Reality Czech]

Promising player for the Leafs once upon a long time. Just didn’t think the work ethic was there to carve out a role as a depth scorer who can be a top notch PK guy as well and a staple on your third line. Think he was afraid of the grind.

Watching him on the Blues, I didn't see a lack of effort but simply not enough skill to be a regular in the lineup. He'll hustle his ass off but won't really do enough to justify his spot in the lineup.

Well this thread took an interesting turn.

Chychrun’s dad was just a face puncher.

 

[To Be Determined]

when the hurricanes don't put in a claim, i'll truly know that jim rutherford is gone...

 

[Power Surge]

Chychrun’s dad was just a face puncher.

Come to think of it, I may remember that but don't remember the team he played for.

Edit: Mainly Philly.

 

[Breakers]

I feel like ive read a few articles about this guys off-season training and him not putting in the work

But then again somebody said that about Rantanen who is a superstar

is this guys only skill being effective on the PK?

 

[Power Surge]

Lol how we forgot the Domis

He's a good skater with above average puck control, he's just not good at playing hockey.

Geoff and Jake Sanderson come to mind.

Keith, Matthew, and Brady Tkachuk.

Paul and Sam Rienhart as well.

Jeff and Jakob Chychrun, now that I think of it, and Louie and Jake deBrusk.

Yeah, although Mason McTavish's dad only got like 9 games in the NHL and mostly made his career in Europe. Which in comparison would make someone like Kasperi Kapanen's career highly successful. Are you thinking it was Craig MacTavish. While never making the NHL, guys like PLD and Sean Courturier's dad's had good minor league (AHL/IHL) and Euro careers, which outside those 9 games would be pretty comparable.

 

[Power Surge]

Iginla we also forgot. I feel like Iginla JR will be like dad but we will see.

Nah, just rambling names of father/son duos whether or not both were succesful. I mean Josh Norris dad was also mostly in europe.

 

[Raistlin]

Geoff and Sami reminds me of another Hartford connection. Andrew and Cole Cassels (did he make it?) Jeff Brown and Logan, and I seem to remember Michael Nylander also played for Harford. Did Jeff O'neil manage to spawn a player in between living large?

 

[tmg]

The Sens had a multi year stretch of nepobaby drafting …

Christian Wolanin (son of Craig)
Logan Brown (son of Jeff)
Jonathan Dahlen (son of Ulf)
Brady Tkachuk (son of Keith)
Mark Kastelic (son of Ed)
Jake Sanderson (son of Geoff)
Ridly Grieg (son of Mark)
Tyler Boucher (son of Brian)

All drafted 2015-2021.

Then they went and traded for two more in Chychrun and Norris.
