I was just noticing how many of our prospects project to be Chicaco Blackhawk type core players and was wondering if you guys think that's the type of mould we are heading towards. I'm just throwing this out there cause I thought it would be interesting
Comparisons:
Gaudreau = Kane Lite - A shifty fast winger that is hard to hit that makes ridiculous passes. Will cut and change directions quickly with his edges. Has the ability to lure defenders towards him to make room for other wingers.
Monahan = Toews Lite - Decently skilled centre who can win faceoffs. Plays with heart and soul and smart passes. Always stands in the right areas and can snipe when needed.
Baertschi = Hossa Lite - Very skilled winger who knows how to use his size to move around defenders or make a skilled pass. Has a quick motor and has a snipe for a shot.
If we draft Ekblad next year he could be our Keith and Sieloff can be our Seabrook
Is there any other comparisons towards other team moulds or would this team be the most accurate? Obviously no player is exactly the same and that's not what I am trying to say here.
