Notes: Polasek with his first pro goal. Connauton, Haydar, and Mancari where an 'A' while there is no Captain yet. Tanev returns to the lineup from injury. Through 16 games, Schroeder has managed 2 goals, 5 points and is a -6 . Inconsistent start to the Wolves season, but the one constant has been the solid play of both Climie and Lack in net.Southern_Canuck wrote:Wednesday Nov 24

Re: Prospects Thread 2011-12
Apparently Rodin has been very good the past few games and is now on the second line.
Very encouraging news because his camp was disturbingly poor. I'm guessing there was an injury issue that was not reported.

Re: Prospects Thread 2011-12
I believe Rodin had a serious shoulder problem starting last season in the SEL, let's hope he's past that now and able to show his stuff. I recall MG was going to make Rodin their first pick but couldn't resist Schroeder when he was available, thank heavans we still got him schroeder is not showing a lot.
cheers

Rodin was a second round pick that showed up and looked terrible, but he was a pick the Canucks liked so much that he could have been their first rounder.
Improvement in his play not only increases my optimism about the player but also in our managements ability to asses talent.
Your first rounders don't all need to make the league, but they at least need to show something or serious questions need to be asked.
Re: Prospects Thread 2011-12
According to the local paper here his shoulder is perfectly fine now. Right after arriving in North America he had problems with a strep throat though, and the antibiotics wouldn't take, which made him lose a couple of weeks and also messed with his conditioning. He's feeling better now though and feels like he is beginning to hit his stride.
I'm still not sure about Rödin. He has the skills and the talent, and has been phenomenal on the junior level, but he has not overwhelmed me in the SEL. Then again, he struggled with shoulder problems most of last season, and maybe that's why he didn't blow me away. His SEL stats were quite decent, but quite decent may not be enough for the NHL...
Let's hope that the glimpses he has shown recently are the first signs of him actually reaching the potential he showed as a junior. I sincerely hope so, but I'd say the jury is still out. We'll just have to wait and see.

Re: Prospects Thread 2011-12
Interestingly enough, 2009 draftees Schroeder and Rodin have found a little chemistry, and are playing together on the Wolves' second line. It should be interesting to see their production over the next few games...Fred wrote:I believe Rodin had a serious shoulder problem starting last season in the SEL, let's hope he's past that now and able to show his stuff.

Re: Prospects Thread 2011-12
Well, he hasn't looked too promising, but the guy just turned 21 - why don't we reserve the bust judgement until he is at least 23 or 24? At one time he was expected to be selected in the top 5 of the 2009 draft!RoyalDude wrote:It's safe to say that Schroeder won't mount to a hill of beans, damn well wish that Gillis had drafted Carter Ashton instead.BladesofSteel wrote: Through 16 games, Schroeder has managed 2 goals, 5 points and is a -6 .

Re: Prospects Thread 2011-12
I saw this snippet re Corrado Canucks Propspect
The scouts hit a home run with this guy, no wonder they were quick to sign him at the prospects camp.As for Corrado, he is having great year in jr and seems like he is improving all the time. He’s already an elite skate and has pretty top end skill, but this year his defensive game is coming around. The kid seems to be a natural leader and I predict he will be at Canada’s camp in the summer and push for a spot on next years team.

Re: Prospects Thread 2011-12
Could be, but what I observed was a very mature hockey smart player. It might have been a blip and he might have played crummy after he left the Pros Camp but two things stick in my mind. The Canucks brass signed 2 players at the end of that camp Jensen and Corrado which indicates they see the same. Secondly this report seems to indicate that he's getting better and the author thinks he will make Team Canada camp next summer. Of course he may have peaked...hey who truly knows.BladesofSteel wrote:That's a little premature don't you think?Fred wrote:I saw this snippet re Corrado Canucks Propspect
