Trevor Cann

I have extremely serious doubts that Trevor Cann will ever make it to the NHL and I don't expect him to perform very well in the AHL. Personally, I just don't see a bright future for this guy and even if he cracks an NHL roster, it won't be for very long.
That doesn't mean you should totally disregard his value or what he has accomplished in the last two seasons, but I'm just being honest when I say he's nowhere close to being on my Top-50 Prospects to watch for...and after scouting him once again in this year's Avs Development Camp a few weeks ago, he still hasn't improved much in any one area compared to last year. Well, his movement DID seem a little stronger side to side, but not much else.
His hand placement is the most awkward thing I've ever seen in a goalie prospect. He lowers them and sticks his palms out. I've never seen anything like it. It's flat out weird. If you think guys like Simeon Varlamov struggle with their glove side, well, Cann would get eaten alive. And I seriously think his leg pads are too small for his body.
I could keep going, but I don't want to throw him totally under the bus. He's a strong goalie with very good size and he does a good job of playing with confidence and he moves with very strong pushes. But he lacks quickness and he takes too long to recover and he doesn't have very good mobility in the butterfly.
Considering how hesitant the Avalanche have been to bring up ANY of their minor league goalies, even when they have the most shutouts in the AHL, I doubt you'll ever see Cann in an Avalanche jersey.
