Matt Wuest Prospect Tournament Thread

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

He sure looked okay on that second goal by Athanasiou. He didn't get a point on the goal but he was a big part in it for sure. Great hustle to get to the dump in, and great work along the boards to get it back to the point to Saarijarvi, who passed it across the line to Stanton, took a shot that was tipped in front by AA.

I expect a big year from Mantha this season down in Grand Rapids. I hope they keep that top line of Athanasiou - Larkin - Mantha in tact all season long...

Anyway, tough break tonight. Columbus have a lot of high end prospects over there. Unfortunately we couldn't win the Wuest Cup, but runner up in this tournament isn't the worst thing...

The Hockey New's player reviews from Traverse City are in:

http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/the-biggest-and-best-prospects-from-traverse-city/

Detroit

Dylan Larkin – Another top player in the tourney, Larkin lived up to billing. He’s fast, fearless and has great awareness. Put up nice offensive numbers while still being that guy you can always trust in your lineup.

Tyler Bertuzzi – The Wings didn’t play great in the title game, but Bertuzzi was a beast. His combination of nastiness and skill reminds me of Brad Marchand or Brendan Gallagher and Todd’s nephew has a crazy competitive spark in his game.

Andreas Athanasiou – His speed is incredible when he turns on the jets and Athanasiou was even blocking shots to preserve a key win against Dallas. Great wrist shot, too. His tournament ended on a down note when he sparked a mini-riot by shooting the puck at Kerby Rychel as time expired in the final.

Evgeny Svechnikov – For a teenager in his first Traverse City tournament, Svechnikov looked really solid. He uses his big body along the boards and is willing to pay the price. The hands are pretty nifty too when he’s around the net.

Anthony Mantha – It’s no secret that defense and engagement away from the puck are needs for Mantha. The scoring acumen is there, but those other areas need improvement.

God I can still remember the freak out when we drafted lil Bert, good for him. This team needs a **** disturber like him.

AA doing his best :lol:
