shrader Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Did they give Kalemba a contract? He was a beast at Princeton until this past season when the team decided that they didn't care about defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Coast Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Ennis should tear it up there I'm guessing. I really loved his style of play at the WJs two years ago, and I think he will be the clutch guy that the Sabres need in their forwards corps. When he becomes that player is a mystery to me though. Maybe he already will be. Kevin Sundher is also interesting in that he's a local East-Indian kid from BC, along the lines of a Prab Rai, but better. A lot of Canuck fans wanted to draft him, but he went pretty early. Always good to see these different nationalities getting into the game of hockey. I also have heard about Luke Adam (not sure from where, but good stuff) and Zach Kassian, the latter moreso. It seems like he had an unfortunate last season though. The Canucks camp will be headlined by Jordan Schroeder who had a terrific stint in the AHL last season including a goal on his first shift, a hat trick and going PPG in the AHL playoffs. Another player you might hear about in a few years is Kevin Connauton, who absolutely exploded as an offensive defenceman in his first year in the 'dub, putting up bigger numbers than guys like Mike Green did. He does have similar defensive issues, but he isn't your typical offensive defenceman, having also recording over 100 PIMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I still think the North Coast is the best coast. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluca67 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I hope one of these kids pull a Myers like surprise and make the opening night roster. For a team that needs to build from with it is a must, if they are going to be successful, for some of these kids to start leaping over the "talent" listed ahead of them on the depth chart.

They weren't too happy with him after his one year in Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerme1 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I'm wondering most what we are going to end up with Kassian. I envision him as being a Wendel Clark type of player which would absolutely rock. I hope I'm right and he doesn't come unglued again and get stupid.

wjag Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 McCauley, Dennis 6-3 225 This kid is 25, having gone the route USHL, North Eastern U, AHL. He's 6'3" and 225lbs. He had 10 goals and 4 assists in 45GP for Worcester Sharks. I'm intrigued. Anyone know anything more about him? Edit: Found this prior thread Anyone know anymore about him than this? Looks like he drops the gloves, 84PIMs in 45 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I like the kids size which we need more of but I'll admit I know next to nothing of him. I'm not sure 84 pims in 45 games constitutes someone that drops the gloves. Thats only an average of about 2 minutes in the box per game. I could be wrong,maybe all the penalty minutes came in bunches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read another glowing report on Kulikov - the guy we passed up to get Kassian. I thought it was a stupid move then and it still looks like a stupid move now.

I thought it was a stupid move then and it still looks like a stupid move now. A 6'1", 183 lbs defenseman will have to show a lot more than 16 pts before he proves he's really a big missed opportunity for the Sabres. Kassian was riskier, but if he hit the top of his potential scale, he'd be the type of players that all teams covet: size and skill with a nasty attitude. Obviously, he took a step backward last year with injuries, suspensions and legal trouble, but it was a shot worth taking. We'll see if Kulikov actually turns out to be the real deal (not just some sports writers saying good things about his potential), but until then, it's hard to say that it was that big of a deal.

Best Coast Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 So Schroeder had a bounce back year after turning pro? They weren't too happy with him after his one year in Minnesota. Schroeder had an incredible first year in Minnesota, but his numbers tailed off last year in their program as he lost his two linemates (one of them was Ryan Stoa) and the overall team went downhill. However, after that NCAA season he came to the AHL and had some pretty good success. First game of Vancouver's prospect tourney was tonight against the Oilers, who dressed Hall, Eberle and Pajaarvi. The Oilers won, but Connauton got a goal. Schroeder played to the strength of his linemates, as he always does, and was justifiably average although he was robbed in the first period and hit a post. Hodgson is still not cleared for contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 A 6'1", 183 lbs defenseman will have to show a lot more than 16 pts before he proves he's really a big missed opportunity for the Sabres.

We'll see if Kulikov actually turns out to be the real deal (not just some sports writers saying good things about his potential), but until then, it's hard to say that it was that big of a deal. Agreed. Kulikov has probably better chances of becoming a solid NHLer but Kassian has star potential. I don't think Kulikov's ceiling is too high. I can't fault the Sabres for not aiming for the stars and going the easy root, going for a guy who is considered a "safe" pick. I don't think too many people would be as down on Kassian if he wasn't suspended for 20 games last year. He's basically a year behind schedule development wise, but i still think he'll be fine. Actually, he's been doing great for Windsor in pre-season, and scored a hat trick in his last game in the OHL prior to joining the Sabres for rookie camp. Also, i think Kulikov had offers from the KHL, which i'm sure scared some teams away. And i don't blame them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
