Pete Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Barron is going to wind up a solid 3C and could possibly ramp up to 2C. Impossible to say right now if the offense is the product of just being a giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's 6'6" Tim Gettinger. Barron is 6'3". There's probably 6 or more dude's on every team they play that are over 6'2". Yale had 6, Brown had 9, Michigan State had 7. Next 2 games are Clarkson with only five, but 2 D at 6'4' and one at 6'7". and St. Lawrence with 8 (and one of those dudes is 6'8"). I don't think its a size factor thing.

Long live the King Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Everyone is just listed as a F and there are no face-off or TOI stats, so I can't tell the sizes of opposing centers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 There's size in that Conf, obviously as you have well demonstrated, but it's not a good Conference in terms of talent. You have to pay to play hockey in this Conference. You can tell going through the rosters, these are secondary recruits. Lots of second tier NAHL guys, second tier BCHL guys and lots from lower junior leagues. St. Lawrence has guys that came from the CCHL. That's a SUNY level feeder league. I'm not bashing it, it's my favourite Conference in the NCAA, but besides some outliers, they don't attract the premium recruits. Schafer started them against Mighigan St in a back to back, that sounds good but Michigan State has been in shambles for years. I want to see Barron against BC or somebody at that level. Not that ECAC teams are bad, (They look older roster wise) they just lack that real high-end factor on the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodrigueGabriel Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 ECAC quality notwithstanding, Cornell is rated #4 in the NCAA at this point in the USA Today poll and #3 in the USCHO. So, the general opinion is that they're playing at a pretty high level and that Barron is leading the squad early on the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoMinutesForNothing Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I have seen some say that Barron is bigger than 6'3 now, or at least looks it. Game reminds me of Blake Wheeler in college. I think he'll be a solid bottom 6 to start with for us with a ceiling for more. Zac Jones just seems to be a stud. Next year in NCAA and then probably turns pro. Another reason there's no sense in keeping Brady Skjei around much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 And yet there was a time where Skjei was the end all be all and there was no reason to keep McDonagh ... or was it Staal? point being you don't trade NHL guys because you MIGHT have a guy in college.

The guy in college isn't the whole reason though. Keeping DeAngelo is the reason, then the guy in college takes Skjei's spot. Point is Skjei is nothing special and gets paid a lot. Good LD's in the organization right now are Hajek, Lindgren, Rykov, K'Andre, and Jones. The question is, who would you rather be paying over $5 mil a year to? Skjei or DeAngelo. Whichever one leaves will be replaced by organizational depth, which is deep on either side on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skjei is pretty bad but still an NHLer. He most likely get exposed in the expansion draft and you likely lose Staal when his contract ends. That's a pretty young left side at a time you're supposed to be competing. I'd also like to see the depth pan out before we decide who's moving where.

siddious Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Pronman ranked some of the risers from the 2019 draft: ?Zachary Jones, D, New York Rangers Drafted: No. 68 overall Jones has been great as a freshman for UMass, as a top defenseman for one of the better teams in the country. Jones had a great junior year last season, showing great skill and offensive creativity and vision. But one criticism from scouts was his average skating ability as a small defenseman. I saw that last season, but watching him this season his skating looks like an asset. He?s able to evade pressure, can close on checks and has the straight-line speed to lead a rush.? https://theathletic.com/1398311/2019/11/25/pronman-biggest-risers-from-the-2019-nhl-draft/?source=shared-article Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
