Randall Flagg Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 For the rest of Pu's career, I'm going to be reading every sentence typed about him three times, to see if I'm missing a play on words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think Rodrigues makes the team out of camp. Nelson seems a bit too high to me. He's likely destined to spend the season in Roch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassValleyGreg Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks Hoss. Great read.  I'm in on the Pu hype. The tape looks like Taylor Hall-level speed and quickness. Great stick length too. Like Dudacek said, it's a highlight reel, but as the announcers reference, that "other gear" he found this year in his development is promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think Rodrigues makes the team out of camp. Nelson seems a bit too high to me. He's likely destined to spend the season in Roch. I ranked them on a mixture of things but their immediate destination isn't really one of them. The main two components are level of skill and likelihood to reach their ceiling. For instance, Nylander is as likely to spend the season in Rochester as Nelson is but that doesn't mean Nylander isn't the clear number one.

3putt Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think that's the way to go Hoss. Â I think Nelson has higher offensive upside than Borgen but think both are pretty close. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Kris Baker of Sabresprospects.com updated his depth chart. I'm going to make a few tweaks based on his info. He, interestingly, listed Nylander as a left winger. Â EDIT: I only made one tweak to my rankings since they lined up a ton with what he has minus a few I feel more confident in. Florentino dropped from 15 to 21. Â Edited July 17, 2016 by Hoss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I hope everyone takes special notice of where Rodrigues is slotted. Waaaaaaay down the depth chart. That's about right. I think he's got Kevin Porter upside. We are very deep in right wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I hope everyone takes special notice of where Rodrigues is slotted. Waaaaaaay down the depth chart.

A surprise, to me. I suspect that's the writer's ranking and not a result of considering Fasching an NHLer, last season's final roster status notwithstanding.

GrassValleyGreg Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Good write-up here and I agree with most of the author's analysis. Fitz was on ice in all situations and looked smooth. He even had the biggest hit in the Canada blowout. Didn't get a chance to see much Rasmus but read his two-way play was on display. No doubt Thompson was on another level and looks like a steal for the Blues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Thought for a hot second Tage was the guy I was vehemently against drafting late in the 1st for any team, on the contrary I really liked him and am gald to hear he is doing well. Should be a good player.  The player I was thinking of was Logan Stanley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassValleyGreg Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 McAvoy destroyed Crouse. Â I think that was the biggest hit. Â Absolutely. My mistake. Better keep your head up Lawson.
