Excerpt from the HabProspects.com article:
P.K. Subban will make his second appearance at the WJC’s, although last season he did not see a great deal of ice time, he hopefully gained some valuable experience that he can carry over to this year’s tournament. Named Assistant Captain, Subban clearly should have a much bigger role with the team, as he brings highlight reel plays in the offensive zone, while showing marked improvement in his defensive zone play.
The hope is that down the road, Subban can build off the experience of playing against top level talent in his age group , for when he turns pro next season. As one of the Habs most promising prospects, fans are justified to be excited about his future and how he will be able to help the organization down the road. Subban does it all, and while still needing improvement to his game he likely has the highest upside of any of the Canadiens prospects, so if he can continue to show good improvement in his own end the organization should have one heck of a player. Team Canada will push for its 5th gold medal in as many years, for Subban has already joined Carey Price, Kyle Chipchura, Josh Gorges and Shawn Belle in the quest for gold.
Subban does indeed look good. As a Sabres fan, I’m curious to know if you’d rather have him or Myers in the pipeline right now. I guess it comes down to needs, but I’m consistently impressed with Pernell Karl.
Hey Kris,
I love what Tyler Myers brings to the rink. His skill set is terrific for such a big kid (6’6″ 215lb) and should only get better once he fills out his large frame.
It’s rare to see such a big player skate so well.
Unfortunately, the Canadiens traded away their 1st round pick to acquire Tanguay but were still too far back to draft Myers who your Sabres selected at #12.
He will be a solid top four defenseman for years to come so I envy the Sabres organization for having him in their system…….I guess I would have preferred Myers over Subban.
