Weave Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Translation needed: @ScottyMCSS The Impact of Grigorenko: http://tvasports.ca/...renko-8032014 … Team and player improving. Grigs producing at an "alarming rate." #Sabres The Quebec Remparts have slightly improved their stride since Mikhail Grigorenko returned to the QMJHL. Demoted by the Buffalo Sabres in mid-January , Grigorenko began producing at a rate that is expected of him in junior, an alarming rate. Choosing Sabres first round of the NHL draft in 2012 scored 14 goals and 19 assists for 33 points in 19 games with the Remparts. Meanwhile, the formation of the Old Capital showed a record of 12-4-3. That's better, proportionately the total file Remparts this season (37-16-11). phenomenon is normal: Russian ace is a third-year player in the QMJHL and maintains the rhythm of his best junior career with 1.73 points per game. Grigorenko's return to the QMJHL obviously did not like the CEOs of the other teams, given the impact of the show in an effective. With 85 points in four games the end of the season, the Remparts are third in the East Division, led by the Baie-Comeau, leader of the overall standings with 94 points. I assume the translation is a bit off and the last blue part should read something like,. obviously the CEO's (of the other teams) did not like Grigorenko's return.

Robviously Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Reminder - Prospects - College - TV - Saturday, March 8. New Sabres Prospect Hudson Fasching (along with Christian Isackson) and University of Minnesota - at Ohio State - LIVE - 6:30 pm ET - ESPNNews/WatchESPN.com JT Compher and Michigan - at Michigan State - LIVE - 7:30 pm ET - Fox Sports Detroit/Fox College Sports Atlantic. Did anyone watch these guys last night? I caught the third period of the Minnesota-Ohio State game (didn't even realize I got that channel until I was flipping around). I noticed Fashing on the ice a lot but he didn't do any "future star" things. They did put him out there to kill a penalty at one point so that bodes well for his "two-way player" cred. Unfortunately, he was also on the ice when Ohio State tied the game 2-2 late in the 3rd period -- the play wasn't his fault but his line was out there. Anyways, it was just one period. I guess it's pretty impressive that he's on the no.1 line of the no.1 ranked team in the country as a freshman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fasching was directly involved in the 1st Goper goal with a great screen on the goal tender. Also saw him take a neutral zone tripping penalty. He looks good out there with his all around play and physical presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks good out there with his all around play and physical presence. I noticed that Rau had the first MIN goal but that Fasching wasn't credited with an assist. I was hoping he was indirectly involved in some way. (Guys like Vanek and Foligno often help score goals that they never receive a point for just by going to the net and/or screening the goalie.)

.55. Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Did anyone watch these guys last night? Fasching didn't score, but was in front of the goalie when Minnesota scored on an early power play. He took an unnecessary tripping penalty, but also showed some good outside speed in the third period. He gathered momentum, took the puck wide a couple times and had a nice pass, then a pseudo-wraparound. He's a young player in a physical conference and he didn't overpower anyone that I could see. The college route will give him plenty of time to get polished. The announcers talked him up a little. As a freshman he is being leaned on by the number one team in the nation, he is putting up sexy numbers on the year, but he didn't do anything flashy in this single viewing.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Whomever did the scouting on Baptiste deserves a gold star. This is what FC had to say about him last year before the 2013 draft: SCOUTING REPORT: Baptiste is a hard charging, complementary, power winger with a powerful stride but is not overly fast straight line but is balanced and hard to knock off the puck. He also shows some smarts with his positioning and knowing where to be and when to get there. He is a solid puck handler, but does not possess the elite quickness to really dangle. Most of his offensive chances come within eight-to-10 feet of the net as it is most natural for him to shoot and drive the net rather than look for a passing play. However with that said, he can hit his mark when he does decide to dish the puck off the rush. He’s a strong forechecker who can really rattle defenders with his pressure or by delivering a bone crushing check. He plays with good defensive minded positioning, utilizes his size, reach and shows an understanding and willingness to get his frame into shooting and passing lanes. When he brings his aggressive physical game he can be more than a handful for his opponents. When he starts throwing his weight around he causes the opposition to become distracted. Consistency in the physical game will need to be improved for Baptiste. He’s also not blessed with loads of hockey sense, but turned it on halfway through the year and really finished strong including a solid performance at the U18’s. NHL POTENTIAL: Top 9 Two-Way Winger ISS on Baptiste before the 2013 draft: Nick Baptiste - This kid is an athlete with tremendous compete and a great personality. He is a diamond in the rough and is going to be a very effective power forward for years to come. His play at U18s this year was tremendous and his consistent efforts seemed to wake some of the other sleeping giants on Canada's squad. This is a kid who would do wonders for a lot of organizations. 48. NICK BAPTISTE Sudbury – OHL Position: RW Born: Aug 4/95 Height: 6.00.7 Weight: 189 Report Card Size/Strength Good Skating Excellent Puck Skills Very Good Shot Good Offensive Play Very Good Defensive Play Average Physical Play Good Competitiveness Excellent Hockey Sense Very Good Strengths 1. Relentless motor 2. Great overall skating 3. Developing defensive tools Weaknesses: 1. Continual development in defensive instincts/awareness 2. Needs to bulk up Skill: Slick puck carrier with flashy skill on the puck. High tempo offensive pace Scouting Report: Baptiste plays the game at a high tempo and has a relentless offensive motor. Possesses dynamic hands to match his quick outside speed in order to get a jump on the opposition defenders. Has great puck presence and the ability to burn opposition defenders while having the vision to find his teammates in the offensive zone. His defensive awareness and instincts have come a long way and are a work in progress, has the tendency to commit early out of the defensive zone. It is evident in his intensity and work ethic that Nick has a passion for the game and development hasn’t stopped as he continues to improve. NHL Potential: 2nd-3rd line winger while adding excellent secondary scoring. Style compares to: Brenden Morrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Those two reports seemed contradictory to each other. The first says he lacks hockey sense but is good on defense, the second says he's very good hockey sense and lacks on defense. I suppose that it not too uncommon though, for reports to differ like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would other systems be ranked if the 18 and 19 year olds they already have in the NHL were included? The Sabres have a ton to like; they just need some kingpins to put on the first line.
