Chicago Wolves Year in Review: Forward Prospects | CanucksArmy

 

[jstewismybastardson]

sounds like Jensen doesnt want to play in the AHL ... concussion play a role in his perception of that league?

It's the Canucks or the Swedish Elite League for #Canucks 1st round pick Niklis Jensen next season.

or maybe not

Thomas Drance ‏@ThomasDrance
Doubt it. Jensen wouldn't have been AHL eligible next year. RT @PPGoose: @ThomasDrance I wonder if it has anything to do with the Wolves?

 

[mattola]

worried about our future. if we dont win next year I almost want a full rebuild.. Im not even kidding. I fear that our failed success (great regular seasons and No cup) will hurt us badly as we have finished top 5 in the league the last few years. we have not picked top 10 in 5 years and only 2 (#10 spot both times) of the last 10 years (Cody Hodgson and RIP Luc Bourdon)

unless we are getting some gems in late rounds I dont see

Schneider
Kassian
Tanev
Schroeder
Gaunce
Jensen
Hansen
Weise

as a very bright future at all. Shultz was a guy that I was willing to give the farm to just to have in our lineup for youth and talent and hope to guide into top skill.

did anyone know that Alex Burrows was 31 years old. holy shit this team is aging very fast.

Gillis stopped short of saying he thought Frankie Corrado might make the big club this season

Thomas Drance ‏@ThomasDrance
Good reason for Gillis to praise Frankie Corrado, I see him as a hybrid of Bieksa (mouthy) and Tanev (boss possession player). #Canucks

didnt he finish saying that he still required a year of junior?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

didnt he finish saying that he still required a year of junior?

nope ... he said he's eligible for another year of junior

 

[mattola]

nope ... he said he's eligible for another year of junior

ah ok thanks. lots of smoke and mirrors today in this segment. not really giving anything.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

maybe Gillis overindulged on some bad yellow fin tuna

he is really pumping the young guys

"Kassian, if offseason improvements continue, can start the season in the top 6"

 

[jstewismybastardson]

ah ok thanks. lots of smoke and mirrors today in this segment. not really giving anything.

showing how good an agent (or mechanic?) he was ... he's pumping tires left right and centre

 

[puckhead]

Jensen, Gaunce, Pinizzotto, Tanev, Price, Friesen, Corrado and Archibald.



Archibald is a big dude. Hope his game comes together.

 

[mooger_35]

Tanev doesn't look like he's filled out at all.

 

[puckhead]

Tanev doesn't look like he's filled out at all.

main priority for Tanev this summer is to learn how get a shot away in less than 34 seconds.
but yeah, he's still on the slight side of life.

not exactly 'hulking defenseman' yet

#20 David Honzik
#19 Darren Archibald
#18 Jeremy Price
#17 Adam Polasek
#16 Yann Sauve
#15 Alex Grenier

[puckhead]

Alex Friesen = mini-Mike Peca
that'd be OK.

Prospect Profile: #10 Joe Cannata | CanucksArmy


Cannata leaves behind one hell of a legacy, he'll graduate from Merrimack as the school's all time leader in wins, minutes, saves, goals-against average and save percentage.
