http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=259783&lid=hea...os=topStory_nhl The organization can claim they have talent and depth up front with the likes of Kyle Okposo, Josh Bailey, Corey Trivino, David Toews, Rhett Rakhshani Robert Figren, Kirill Petrov, Jason Gregoire, Shea Guthrie, Jesse Joensuu, and Blake Comeau. The first three could play on the top two lines in the NHL and the next eight forwards might make the third or fourth lines one day, but do not expect any more than three of them to play at the NHL level. Other than Okposo, Bailey and Comeau the rest of the forwards are three to four years away from perhaps getting a shot at a roster spot. Both Bailey and Okposo have the skill and intangibles to lead the offense into the future and could become a dynamic duo if shown patience and guidance. |

Has anyone heard anything about our prospect from Finland named Jyri Niemi? I was reading an article about WJC players to watch and he was mentioned. Here is the link: http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=260834&lid=sub...s=headlines_nhl he is the 5th one down. He apparently has a cannon from the point |

Yep we drafted him this year. Shoots the puck like 100 mph. Was one of the top 10 players to watch in this year's WJC. |

In Garth I Trust
|
The story I read on him during the draft last year was... 1- hard shot, will make a good PP point man 2- solid but not spectacular in his own end 3- on the thin side, will need to bulk up to play the more physical north american game. |
I miss these and want more of them ![]()
