2014-15 Flames' CHL Prospects, General Discussion Thread

[Vulcan]

I kind of compare Carroll to Prust. Both later round picks passed over in previous drafts and both pugnacious.

[FBI]

Our later round picks seem to have been pretty good in recent years.

[sureLoss]

Carroll's goal and point streak came to an end last night. 0g 0a in a 4-2 win over Lethbridge

Smith had a goal in Oshawa's 6-4 win over Sarnia

Roy had 0 pts in a 8-3 blowout of Swift Current

[sureLoss]

Hunter Smith's 2 goals from October 10th:





Hunter Smith massive hit from October 3rd:

Ryan Tunall @ryantunall
Calgary #Flames 1st rounder & Regina Pats star Morgan Klimchuk makes his season debut tonight in #yql against the @WHLHurricanes.

[PeteMoss]

Hunter Smith's from earlier this month. Doubtful he'll have too many takers this year.

Awesome start to the season for the 19 year old.

[sureLoss]

Smith is also on a 3 game goal scoring streak

5 goals in 3 games in 3 straight days... should be up for OHL player of the week

Even that empty netter was nice. That's not an easy angle to score from when you're a right handed shooter.

Smith is starting to remind me a tad of Chris Simon. Limited skill, but it's there. A big mean SOB who will mix it up but might get you 15-20 goals and 40 points on a good year, not every year but could happen. Great option on the 3rd line.

Ferland has reminded me lots of Simon as well. I always think players of this ilk are extremely valuable to teams. Hope they both work out (and if they do, they will both be huge fan favorites).

Seriously guys, I am so happy Flames got him. I started following him in the lead up to the draft was worried a rival would get him first. He'll be a deadly 3-4 line guy on a contending Flames team who will get 2nd unit PP time.

And he'll be a skilled cop to police the ice for Flames super stars.

Hunter Smith has scored another goal as Oshawa and North Bay are tied 1-1 midway through the game. Seems to have a good game according to a couple of tweets from Pronman:

Corey Pronman ‏@coreypronman
In OSH-NB strong firsts for Paul/Lindberg-OTT, Wood-COL, Smith-CGY, Dal Colle-NYI. Flashes from Liberati-VAN.

Corey Pronman ‏@coreypronman
Dal Colle, Cassels and Smith played a 2.5 minute shift, staying on for continuous power plays.

[mile]

Smith with a goal and two assists tonight in an 8-5 win over Saginaw.

Klimchuk with an assist in the first period so far in a 1-1 tie against Swift Current.

[devo22]

Smith now has 7 goals in the last 5 games. He's now also tied for 3rd in the OHL in terms of goals:



remember he only had 1 goal in his first 45 OHL games and then 16 in 64 last year. What a jump. I like this pick more every day.
