Trade him because you hate Canadian players, or because he is the heart and soul of the team?
Pretty good face off man for a winger….

Sounds familiar, lower body like an ACL. We should get Servalli on the case.

Canucks prospect, C/W, right shot, 5'9, 165lbs Connor Lockhart, the unknown one is leading the OHL in points right now after two games. 8-)
He was a third overall pick in the OHL in 2019 and the Canucks 2021, 178th overall pick.

https://www.nhl.com/player/connor-lockhart-8482743
Canucks prospect Connor Lockhart (2GP-1G-5A) scored a goal and recorded two assists in his second game of the season last night.

He leads the OHL in points currently.
2021:

The 5’9 centre has incredible upside and didn’t play last season due to the OHL being shut down.

As a rookie with the Erie Otters in 2019-20, Lockhart scored nine goals and added 18 assists through 57 games played.
He has solid hands and great offensive abilities. He has high upside and has a serious chance to be an elite scorer in the OHL next year.

“I guarantee he probably would have gone earlier if he had a full season,” said Director of Amateur Scouting Todd Harvey of Lockhart.
“He’s a determined kid, I think he’s going to grow and fill out a little bit. He’s tenacious on the puck, he has some real good high-end skill and I think it was worth the pick to get him.”
Aug. 17, 2022:

When Connor Lockhart asked the Erie Otters for a trade he listed the Peterborough Petes as one of his preferred destinations.

Lockhart saw how former Otters teammate Emmett Sproule thrived last season in Peterborough and hoped he might enjoy a similar boost.

He’d also heard from best friend and ex-Pete Mason McTavish about how much he enjoyed his time in Peterborough and playing for coach Rob Wilson and his staff.

Sept. 2022:

Lockhart has been in constant communication with the Canucks and took away a lot of solid advice from his time at development camp. He clung to every word of advice that he received from Henrik and Daniel Sedin and called it a privilege to be able to be on the ice and learn from two Hall of Famers players.

“So like, I’m the smaller guy and I’ve been really trying to work on my explosiveness and my puck protection. Being a smaller winger, you’re going to have to protect a lot of pucks on the wall and be able to make hard plays while being strong. So we spent a lot of time on explosiveness to win puck battles in the hard areas. That’s something that I’ve talked a lot about with the Canucks. I really have to be able to handle all the knocks and bumps in the corners.”

Building up his strength in the tough areas of the ice is crucial for Lockhart. He clearly has good hands and speed but will need to play harder than anyone on the ice to have success in the professional ranks.

Lockhart plans to attend the Young Stars Tournament with the Canucks next weekend and wants to prove his worth and earn a contract to make the jump to the AHL for 2023-24.

“This is my year to show Vancouver why I deserve an NHL contract,” said Lockhart. “Ultimately, I feel my offseason work is going to speak for how I play this season. I’m really excited to see how things go because I’m very, very happy with the work I’ve put in this summer.”

It's early in the first round where they have made consensus picks that should be cornerstones that they seem to have messed up s little. Byfield and Clarke might be okay but Turcotte does worry me a little watching him in their AHL last year. He looks destined for a support role to me. I wasn't that high on him in his draft year (Zegras was obviously the better prospect even then). But ,I also think they messed up by rushing him to pro after an okay freshman season at Wisconsin. He just wasn't a one and done talent but the Kings had commited and were bound to see what they had convinced themselves to believe.
They could've done way better in 2019. Could’ve had one of Seider, Zegras, Podkolzin etc. I’m not a fan of picking Byfield 2nd overall, so many better players that went after Byfield. Yzerman has really schooled Blake on drafting. Clarke’s skating is atrocious, but the Kings love lousy skaters - Vilardi. Instead of Clarke they could be sitting with one of - Othmann, Guenther, Sillinger, Wallstedt, Cossa, Coranato, Rosen, Boucher etc., instead.
Vilardi with 7 points in six games. Clarke made the team and Byfield doesn’t look out of place.

Chef your thoughts?

Vilardi is looking much better than your Cody Glass that is for sure.

Byfield - 0 goals 3 assists in 6 games! Stunning for a 2nd overall pick from 3 draft classes ago. Still taking a shit ton of players ahead of him in a redraft

Is Clarke still skating like Bambi on ice? On his ankles?

How’s your Boi Alex Turcotte doing?

Twas your Cody Glass as well. You had lovers nuts for him his entire draft year.

Byfield is playing third line minutes and is 20 years old.

Clarke is playing well. 19 years old. Your batting average keeps plummeting amigo.

He’s a bust and a half. What happened there? Almost as bad as Nolan Patrick
