Ottawa's top six D for 2012/13?

Yeah, Silfverberg's a big one - especially right now, he's playing excellent hockey and has 18 points in 28 games (last year he had 16 points in 48 games) and is the fourth on the team in scoring behind seasoned vets. The only young player who's close (tied actually) is Jarnkrok (but Jarn's a year younger). As we all know, prospects are just that until they make it, but Silfverberg looks promising.

Sorensen had 23 points in 16 games before he made the jump to the SEL where he had 2 points in 3 games before getting an impromptu invite to the Swedish WJC selection camp.

The biggest one still might be Mark Stone who's playing in the WHL with Scott Glennie and has 18 goals, 25 assists and 43 points in 34 games to lead the team (as an 18 year old!)

Yeah about that, why doesn't he get any attention from Team Canada? Maybe next year I guess

I have no idea. And why aren't we more excited as an organization about him? I'll have to post the question on HF - although I'm not fond of that place anymore.

You can look at stats and say the exact same thing about tons of players in the CHL.

For Team Canada, a nation that could produce more than 1 elite team of junior players, you have to be the best of the best. I don't think a guy drafted that late is good enough for Team Canada.

Late round my hiney. He's 8th in scoring in the WHL - withing striking distance of the top spot, he's 18, so he's young enough, he's 6'2", 190. Sounds like he should have gotten a quick look if nothing more.

If he wasn't drafted by the Sens we wouldn't even be talking about how he should have gotten a look, we'd dismiss him as just another prospect.

Absolutely, but it just so happens that I was looking through the guys we drafted and his numbers are eye-popping. It's not my job to weed through all the prospects, that goes to Hockey Canada. Hopefully they at least gave him a quick look.

Look at the league leader in points in the WHL, Brendan Ranford. Never even heard of him. Should he have gotten a look just because of his point totals?

Wait, why is this discussion in the D-man thread? LOL

Yeah, we should continue this in the Sens Prospects Updates lol.

Rundblad-FA (See below)

FA: I could see us signing somebody like Jonathan Ericsson (cheap and fellow-swede to play with Rundblad), Mark Stuart, Shane O'Brien, Trevor Daley, or just re-sign Carkner.

I don't want Rundblad to play in the NHL if he's not ready, though.

You don't think Rundlbad will be ready by 2012/13?

Oh, I didn't read the title of the thread. I thought it was for next year.

i think you guys are very optimistic.
cowen might be in his 1st year in 2012-2013. the way i see it is, sure, he's coming unto his own at the moment, but he's playing with kids. he'll have to adapt to playing with men. he might spend next year between bingo and the sens. the WJC will probably tell us alot.

runblad will probably be in his first year, and hopefully Weircioch's game translate well with the pros.

my opinion is we'll have a new GM by then and moves will have been made also which will change the picture of our prospects(GM always like to make an imprint when they start with a team) unless it's TM.

2012/13

Burns Karlsson
Gonchar Carle
Rundblad Cowen

Was it Burns that I recently read about that wasn't actually effected by concussion issue, and they mis-diagnosed him? Apparently it was actually a neck issue.
