Lets see if he can make an impact at the pro level next season. Oh man I was soooo excited for Cassels - I thought he was going to be a grittier version of his dad. Until I heard his dad trying to hype him by saying he could probably eventually become a 4th liner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bounced around in the AHL and ECHL for a bit and then returned to Saginaw for 34g and playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureQuickness Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 On 1/6/2024 at 9:14 AM, Rip The Mesh said: To learn from Henrik and Daniel Sedin this week was a surreal experience. Their easy-going, no-ego manner to make prospects comfortable — while providing a master class in skill development — left quite the impression. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vancouver-canucks/analysis/it-felt-great-that-vancouver-wanted-me-the-way-they-did-canucks-prospect-josh-bloom-breaks-down-his-trade-to-vancouver-and-goal-of-lifting-the-memorial-cup “Hank came up to me and had a conversation like I was just another guy,” said Bloom. “It was a weird experience. I grew up watching these guys and they’re idols to a ton of people. Pretty cool. “And Daniel was fantastic to work with on board drills and tips that will go a long way, and you couldn’t have a better guy to learn from, right? I truly love the new legacies that Hank and Daniel continually cement. They are the professional of professionals. They are amazing as people as well. It sounds like Bloom really loves that the Sedins are helping them out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmer Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Watched this kid in the Calder cup final. He ticked a lot of boxes. Good size, lots of speed. Drives play down left side. Made great passes setting up chances. Scored the winner in tight on a second chance rebound. Given that he is an over ager, I hope that he can bring this to Abbotsford this fall and hopefully to the big club when ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph. Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Grew up a Leafs fan, trade him! I kid. Seems like a good kid, great to hear he'll be working on his skating and skills all summer. Looking forward to seeing how he fares in the A next season. Hopefully his Memorial Cup experience only helps drive him more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I'm still hoping Bloom is a future Jannik Hansen type. Similar junior numbers so hopefully he can take the next step next season and make an impact with Abbotsford. Not looking for him to be a scoring machine, but making the team full time and being a secondary scorer (maybe 0.3-0.5PPG) and regular PK guy would be awesome.

I think there is a path for him to playing 200+ NHL games and carving out a bottom 6 pking role Hes super likeable and has the legs / motor. His media tour on local radio / pods after the big win was fun too. Hope he develops in abby and a Hansen like career would be unreal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
