Prospect Info: Wings Prospect Discussion

Has anyone seen Carson Bantle in Toledo? He’s 6:05 215 or so and has nine goals so far. Unfortunately no assists. I think he’s one of our signees

MBN about Wings struggle: "Looks like I need to head over there to help them out".
Perhaps Yzerman called him lol

I wouldn't mind both him and ASP getting away from Skelleftea this year Woof.

Yeah MBN is most likely joking. But who knows, remember Yzerman wanted him to start in GR, maybe he'd play for the big club by now.

Buchelnikov playing at 1130 if anyone wants to check him out

Shootout goal

 

[barriers]

Another view of the shootout goal. Buch added an assist in the game as well

And it was a nice one

Nice. This is fundamentally a game of creating small 2 on 1 situations all over the ice.

 

[Kshahdoo]

29 points in 31 games now. He looks better than Panarin at the same age.

He needs to first help out his current team.

You.ve got to love the confidence and the way his mind works. He wants the puck back immediately because he already knows what has to happen next.

Depends on how much he cares about that team, he'll probably be gone after this season, the entire team is pretty bad. But at least MBN is by far the most physical player there, 24 hits in 15 games. I guess this kind of energy is something the Wings could use.

 

[HoweFan]

He better care about that team. It’s a bit of cause for concern if he doesn’t.

The Wings wanted him to stay and play in GR. He had the option and chose Skellefteå AIK. That level of commitment/caring needs to carry over on to the ice.

Emmitt finnie didnt make team canada world junior camp roster... expected but think was a mistake

Noticed like 12 forwards 5'11 and under... cant see them doing much this tournament ... anyone seen other countries pre rosters ??

That sounds like a guy who cares

I have caught maybe 5 or 6 periods of Toledo hockey this year and I didn't pay close enough attention to really evaluate him further than making a mental note that he big and looks like a goal scorer at the ECHL level which his stat line seems to back up. Maybe a guy that can help the Griffins eventually? This season Toledo doesn't seem to have any prospects with a real chance at the NHL, the most interesting are Bednar and Gylander and they really don't seem like anything special but you never know with goalies.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInDetroit]

Nasty. Too bad he has no offensive upside

nasty nate

Sucks he didn't get the invite for sure but when guys like Sennecke didn't get them its hard to be too upset about it.

As for not seeing them do much this tournament? Their line up will be absolutely stacked this year, should be one of the better rosters they've had in a while.

I dont know man seen a dozen 5'11 forwards and under... I'd have to look at all the rosters but I'd have to think u.s has a good shot

Its the world juniors not the Stanley cup playoffs. But even so, they don't have a damn invited under 6 feet and based on who should likely make it, their D will have an average size of close to 6'2. 4 of their locks on forward are all above 6 feet. Their D would be considered big in the NHL lol

Cowan, Barkey and Howe are all under 6 feet but will be 3 of the more difficult guys to play against in the entire tourney if they all make it as well (I think 2 of 3 will). Luchanko isn't a soft player either. Size is not a concern at all for this team.

The US definitely has a good shot, but that doesn't mean Canada isn't stacked. And Canada definitely wont be a small team

That's fair enough on the d ... I still think you need some size upfront and you mentioned sennecke ,its a headscratcher hes not on the roster

And realistically i didnt expect finnie to make it and i'm bitter but I dont care haha and guys like yzerma didnt make canada so it's not the end but ya I think theres some shocking guys off the list

Canada are always good in these tournaments and I'm canadian so I'm not a hater but I just dont think theyll win this year ... we'll see

 

[OldnotDeadWings]

It wouldn't be Team Canada if there weren't complaints about the roster. More complaints this year because it's a particularly stacked pool of players, no surprise Finnie didn't make the cut for selection camp. Hockey Canada can be guilty of over-thinking things and leave off skilled players and that is the case this year, too. They rarely pick what might be seen as an all-star team. A second team with Sennecke, Iginla, Misa, Hage, Parekh, Yakemchuk, Finnie, etc along with cuts this year might be more skilled than the team selected. Of course U.S. has a good shot, they almost always do, but there's nothing really lacking in Team Canada roster and McKenna is special, perhaps Schaefer and Martone too. Goaltending is always a huge factor and hard to predict. If they don't win, it won't be because they're not big enough.
