flyercanuck Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 @Podein25 I've seen him a handful of times this year. Don't even remember him last year. Love his shot, gets it off real fast and it's wicked. If he was 6' he'd be a top ten pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took him a year to figure out the OHL I guess eh? Which shouldn't surprise, I guess. But there was so little buzz about him. It was like nobody had heard of him. I tried to trade him and got laughed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 11 hours ago, Podein25 said: Cheers. That's Kyle Woodlief from Red Line Report. Weird that he writes for USA Today. I actually read the USA Today fairly regularly. I really like their hockey coverage. Most would think that hockey would not be high on their priority list, but their sports editor has a real nice head on his shoulders. My "big six" for daily reads.... 1)The Windsor Star.....subpar, but where else am I gonna get Spitfire coverage? 2)The Detroit Free Press....great sports section, and their go to hockey person, Helen St.James super knowledgeable and just a fun read. Plus, tons of Detroit Tiger coverage, one of my fav teams of all time. 3)The Detroit News....Greg Krupa is not a big name, but he is slowly becoming an awesome hockey writer. 4)USA Today, very nice hockey coverage...AND one stop shopping, love their baseball and football writers also... 5)Toronto Sun....really like 3 - 4 of their columnists....smart and entertaining...a nice pagkage 6)Philly.com....like the combo of the Daily News and Philadelphia Inquirer....one stop shopping for all things Philly.

OccamsRazor Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 12h12 hours ago In the past couple of weeks, I've had a few NHL scouts suggest WDR's Mikhail Sergachev is making a push to be top D in 2016 draft class.

OccamsRazor Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I see Jake Bean set the Calgary Hitmen record for goals in a season by a Dman. I'm not sure if he can/will move up inside the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podein25 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 NHL Central Scouting release their Final rankings: http://www.nhl.com/ice/draftprospectbrowse.htm?cat=2&sort=finalRank&year=2016 Matthews still ahead of the two Finns, but the real big story here is Dubois moving to 1st among NA skaters.

jammer2 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 On April 10th, McKeens came out with a new top 30 update. Some very interesting things coming out of this one....more than one scout is comparing Laine to Mario Lemieux....high praise indeed. Looks like McLeod is sneaking into the top 10, mostly based on his outstanding play against Barrie in the OHL playoffs. http://www.mckeenshockey.com/prospects-blog/mckeens-2016-top-30-nhl-draft-rankings-apr-2016/ Nice to see Sergachev, Spits d-man holding steady at #9 and Logan Brown, Spits forward still hanging in there at #15.

Really like Dubois' game, he's exactly what we need. Big C/LW who has skill, can skate, bury the puck and has a bad attitude...in a good way.

The Steelheads gave the Colts a scare...obviously they learned from it and swept the Battalion. MacLeod should always have gone top ten, he's probably the best skater in the draft. I don't see him going that high though...there's at least 5 players I'd take before him. Mario? Ya, ok...my guess is those scouts never saw Mario play.

Agreed, never a good idea to compare a kid (no matter how electric he looked at the WJC) to one of the most skilled players to ever lace up skates. You can always find a more suitable comparison without looking silly. If Laine = Mario, I guess Marner = Gretzky....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a few years from now people will just compare him to...Patrik Laine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hmmm, Finland beats Canada 4-0, breaking their 16 game win streak. http://www.tsn.ca/finland-blanks-canada-to-win-group-b-1.491386 Why is this in the prospect's page you ask....cause Laine left the game after getting hit....he came back, but was favouring his one leg....maybe nothing, maybe something. I know it's an honour for him to play for Finland....BUT, if continuing is ANY kind of a health risk, he should pull out and let the leg heal.

jammer2 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I've seen a few mocks by Bill "the wiz" Paclack (sp) before....seems to make pretty respectable guesses, like the fact it's a full 7 rounds. Interesting, he has London goalie ranked #60, a strong #3 among draftable goalies...I wonder what a shut out in the Memorial Cup final on Sunday will do to that draft stock?? He could move a full round or more with a dominating game. http://www.draftsite.com/nhl/mock-draft/2016/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid is the hard hitting puck mover right handed shot the Wings have long coveted and never get. I have seen most projections having us go Bellows or Max Jones but we need another winger like we need a hole in the head. Mcavoy or bust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 This is a USA Today article by Kyle Woodrief, the head scout for the Red Line Report. I really like what he had to say about Sergachev, the Windsor defensemen slated to go top 10....just based on what he wrote about Sergs....this must be a fairly accurate article. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/draft/2016/06/15/nhl-draft-2016-defensemen/85937714/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
