DON Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 Czech finally win an Hlinka tournament and beat USA 4-3. Sasha Chmelevski gets 5th goal, Martin Necas leading Czech with 2g 6pts in tournament. They said Caydon Primeau stood on his head in 3rd period for USA (outshot 15-2), until an American takes a 5 minute spearing major and game over.

DON Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Only 1 Canadian ranked in top 10. Only had 2 Canadians picked in top ten this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a terrible ranking if they only have 1 canadian in the top 10. Anything can happen in the season and players will move, but if a draft was held today, no doubt in my mind that Vilardi and Comtois are both top 5 and Patrick is #1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 The scouting report on Popugaev sounds somewhat similar to Scherbak. Basically, offensively skilled winger that needs to work on his skating, defensive responsibilities, and his compete consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One fellow has him as Hab pick and seen him close in others...and he is a centre! #24 Columbus Blue Jackets: Robert Thomas, Centre The Blue Jackets continue to build organizational depth down the middle, taking London Knights centre Robert Thomas. Getting help down the middle was a reason why they took Pierre-Luc Dubois one year ago. At this point there are questions if Dubois will be better as a centre or a winger going forward. General manager Jarmo Kekalainen looks to hedge his bets here by taking the best centre available at this point of the draft. Thomas has excellent hands and play making skill. He also plays a tenacious two-way game. #25 Montreal Canadiens: Josh Norris, Centre The pick of Thomas just one pick ahead of the Habs is a dagger to a team that must improve its centre situation at all levels of the organization. They now choose to go with US NTDP centre Norris. He is a very good play maker. His speed, changes of direction, and lateral agility allow him to open up passing lanes and get the puck through to his linemates. He has very good vision and hockey IQ, seeing plays develop and making smart plays. He is a bit of a project though, who must get stronger.

JoeLassister Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'd be surprised to see Robert Thomas available past top 20. Many arm chairs scouts on Internet have him top 10, some as high as top 5 in terms of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Patrick interviewed with 15 teams in the past week. I wouldn't read too much into it. Some of the interviews are due diligence in case there is a trade possibility in a few years. Some of the interviews are to ask him about his teammates.

Couple older bits on draft pick values. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/analyzing-value-nhl-draft-picks/ http://www.milehighhockey.com/2014/7/23/5931789/draft-percentages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few guys on the other Canadian teams protection lists make zero sense as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
