Anthony Romani | RW


Recommended Posts

Really like this player. I had both Romani and Patterson as my top 2 targets so I was really surprised that's what happened.

 

Romani has skill, great playmaking ability, a terrific shot, and on top of that he has good skating. It's incredible to get all of that in a 6th round pick. It seems like his biggest weakness will be compete level, getting stronger, and developing the defensive side of the game.

Two Canucks prospects have been invited to the 2024 World Junior Summer Showcase. The event serves as a training camp for the World Juniors.

Anthony Romani and Sawyer Mynio are both among the 42 players invited to represent Canada this summer. Both are CHL players who have been drafted by the Canucks in recent years.

 

Romani scored 111 points in just 68 OHL games last season as he absolutely tore up the league. He led all skaters with 58 goals and helped the North Bay Battalion win the Central Division.

The Canucks selected Romani in the sixth round of this summer’s draft. It was his second time being eligible for the draft and his gaudy point totals ensured he didn’t go without hearing his name again. Romani attended the Canucks development camp which was held at UBC in early July. The skilled forward will likely return to junior hockey next season.

---------------------------------------

Mynio played for the Seattle Thunderbirds last season and showed off an improved all-around game. He improved his point total from 31 in 68 games to 53 in 63 games.

The 6-foot-1 defenceman from Kamloops was picked in the third round of the 2023 draft. He’s one of the top blueline prospects in the Canucks system and played one AHL game last season with the Abbotsford Canucks. He’ll be looking to make the jump to professional hockey next season and already has a pro contract.

Playing in the World Junior Summer Showcase doesn’t guarantee a spot on the team at Christmas time but it does offer a chance to prove your worth. It’s a good chance to show why you deserve to be on the prestigious team that competes in the winter tournament.

Who's sophomore season was better, Anthony Romani or Andrew Cristall

It's crazy to compare the 2 but both are similar in the sense that they're both projects that need a lot of work to improve their defensive game. Both aren't speedsters by any means but both have an incredible amount of talent.  Which team got the best bang for their buck? The Capitals picking Cristall 40th overall in the 2nd round or the the Canucks picking Romani 162 overall in the 6th round?

Romani's broken clavicle (collar bone) is very bad luck. And it is especially disappointing as he had an outside chance to make the Canadian world junior team. (Not many Canuck prospects have been on Canada's world junior team in recent years.)

 

Not much information yet about the severity of the injury. It is better if the fracture is "non-displaced" (just a crack in the bone but no separation) and better if there is just one fracture and not multiple fractures. For a single non-displaced or slightly displaced fracture, the normal timeline for full recovery for young adults is 8 to 12 weeks.

 

A bad break (multiple displacements) can require surgery and take longer to heal.

 

It is important not to rush back as re-breaking the clavicle is a definite risk. Better to give more time to let the bone strengthen.

 

Broken clavicles are common and most are relatively straightforward, so there is a good chance he can get come back in the second half of the season, maybe sooner.

 

Hoping for the best.
