Jonatan Nielsen (7th round draft pick in 2012) scored the GWG for Södertälje last game, he was also a part of the play that tied up the game.

Södertälje is now moving on to the qualifying round, which will determine which team gets promoted to the SEL. After the season is over, he'll be back in the SEL with his ordinary team - Linköping. He finished the regular season with 4g, 4a in 28 games. According to the fans of Södertälje he played well during his loan!

Here's a short clip of last game (Fast-forward to 01:30).

Great to see Trocheck doing so well. We have some nice QUALITY center depth in our system.

Trochek 2nd in OHL scoring with 6 games less played than the leader

Havent had time to follow things too closely but here's the updated stats thru this weekend.

Rick Rypien Farts · 03-04-2013, 01:30 PM

Trocheck could turn out to be a great pick.

He's got such an infectious personality. An interesting, happy-go-lucky kid. Solid character. Those of you who follow him on twitter know what I mean.

I believe Trocheck had a lot to do with Grimaldi turning the corner during this past WJC. Grimaldi wasn't gelling with anyone and appeared really frustrated. Housley paired Rocco with Trocheck and he cooled off. They gelled and then came up big in the Gold Medal game.

If VT could be a penalty-killer/ 3rd-liner who is responsible defensively and scores 10-15 goals a season. I would be satisfied. Maybe his last season in the OHL is an indicator of top-six potential. Who knows.

Man.. Is there was fantasy college hockey.. Michael Matheson would probably be one of the most valueable players. That stat line is awesome.

Great seeing that +17 as a freshman playing on the first pair

Sorry for the stupid question, but years goes: Junior, Freshmen, Sophomore, Senior. Or do I confuse the middle two?

Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior.

I know anything can happen but I'm sure Matheson will go back to BC for at least two more years. The future is close for this club.

No problem and just to put it into perspective:

Knight is a Senior
Bjugstad is a Junior
Rau is a Sophomore
Grimaldi and Matheson are both Freshman

Grimaldi is actually a red-shirt freshman. Meaning that he has freshman eligibility, but is a sophomore school wise.

Yeah, I should've added 'red-shirt'. So what are we expecting with Grimaldi? Another year or two at UND then San Antonio?

I would think 2 more years most likely, and then a couple seasons in San Antonio.

Montsy14 · 03-06-2013, 06:22 PM

Trocheck 1g 1a last night. Point streak at 17 games I think. Hit the 100 pt mark, 2 back of lead league.

I would guess for sure one more year, but not more than two. I think he is ready for the next level right now, but I think he should really dominate consistently in the NCAA before he moves on.

Rick Rypien Farts · 03-11-2013, 09:20 AM

Bjugstad had some sick snipes over the weekend.

I believe he had 4 points (3 goals) in 2 big games for Minny. Leads Minny in goals (20).

Two of them were from the same spot on the top of the left circle.

Right on the sweet spot. Lasers.

He loves that Stamkos clapper spot.. It's nice to see, we haven't EVER had a good righty sniper like him.

So, what is Knight's NHL potential? As Tallon moves out some bodies by Apr. 3, I suspect Knight will get a chance to play some pro games. If he is NOT signed by Aug. 15, will he be a UFA?

jessebelanger · 03-13-2013, 03:22 PM

if we can grab drouin/jones/mackinnon this year and then have bjugstad, rau, trotchek etc continue to develop..oh boy..florida could be a *very* good team in a few years

Ghoste · 03-13-2013, 09:18 PM

Trocheck had a goal and 2 assists tonight giving him 104 points in 61 games. Charles Sarault also has 104 points but in 65 games. Trocheck has 2 games left in the season, Sarault has 3 games left.

Trocheck is having an amazing season.
