Leafs' Prospect/Marlies Discussion Thread!

Hey, I want to believe. I just need a reason that isn't him dangling some rando whose 5 year plan includes an office job, hopefully with a sweet expense account, a company car and not pro hockey.

Rookie. Deep team. Not getting fulltime top line top pp minutes.

 

[Preston]

Oh that changes a lot of he's not top pp

 

[zeke]

Poor poor and dumb MizziEye

 

[Artnes]

Does anyone track advanced stats for college? Be curious to see what his underlying numbers

Quanthockey stopped tracking NCAA after last season it seems.

Tried the Michigan:

JVR

From the looks of things, way better. And this is coming from someone who was willing to start a family with JVR.

JVR was the #2 pick and put up better numbers at the same age! If he's as good as jvr that's a monumental steal. I'd take poor mans.

I don't know what to make of NCAA numbers. I think my ball hockey league may be more reflective of players' abilities.

But from seeing him in action, he looks more talented than JVR. Nobody is going to be the front of the net tip machine that JVR is, but Knies has the same body and approach but much better skating and moves.

JVR is mega talented tho. You're thinking about what jvr looks like in the NHL and comparing him to what knies looks like in college. Not a fair comparison!

I would hope/assume knies will be a more complete player... That's largely what limited jvr in his career. But if knies can produce like jvr in the NHL while not being an albatross defensively? Shit. Dubas is going to jail for life.

 

[hockeylover]

Hm, not really that far apart on D+1 numbers from JVR's though?

Plus Knies will play with one of two better Cs than Bozak.

JVR was a great skater when he first came into the league as I remember. Made his living beating guys off the rush until he lost a step and transitioned to a crafty in-close guy.
