Phil Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Tons to like here. Looks like a mean mother fucker. The ACL thing is really concerning though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Yea sounds like high risk high reward. As the guy on nhl network said though… “rangers don’t seem to be concerned” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 I haven't watched him at all, but from what I've read it seems like he's really more of a low-risk/low-reward type. He's a strong faceoff center who's very physically engaged and has skating/conditioning issues. I guess the upside is Howden if he wasn't bad.

By high reward I meant nhl quality rather than a star, I agree sounds like a 3rd liner maybe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/475192/jayden-grubbe If there’s a defining skill here, it’s Grubbe’s defence. He’s less aggressive, and more quietly intelligent, eliminating off-puck threats, reading switch offs, and constantly scanning and adjusting. In transition, he builds speed under the puck, pushes plays to the middle, and finishes his off-puck routes to create space behind him. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide This one seems like a real reach...I guess they didn't want to risk him being there at 104.

Drew a Penalty Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Given Covid circumstances, I'm not really sure the rankings matter much. This is a weak draft that forced some players into weird playing situations and scouts were mostly remote. Seems like a bunch of teams aren't paying much mind to the "board."

Yeah - this is a guy you pick with the longshot hope he's something more, but the more basic hope that he's like a Sami Pahlsson type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long live the King Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Interesting. They have two contacts available and plenty of career AHL ufas they can let walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 What's the reason for this? Drafted under 2 years ago, doubled his point tally from last year. 6'3 200lbs center when we have zero center prospects in the org. I have no knowledge of the player or the league he played in, but this makes no sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drury did dust that shit off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 IIRC he was drafted for his leadership ability and the puck was questioned because the skill and production wasn’t there for a 3rd round pick. He had a good overage year but I think it was a long shot for him to get signed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
