agreed,

is utonen hurt? i see he has played 2 games this year.

I think I read that he was indeed hurt, but he's back in action now.

do you have a basis other than these stats to assess the talent of karlsson? i've seen almost no tape of the guy. the reports i have read are that he is talented and has hockey sense and had a late growth spurt and is naturally a defensive centre. the only negative thing about him is that san jose traded him for dahlen within a year of drafting him which signals to me they had cooled off on the guy big time unless they really liked dahlen.

i am sure he's a longshot, but i get the sense the fact he's in the allskevan is being used to draw inferences about his talent. he's there because his club got relegated, which was not his fault. he was a good enough talent to be picked up by an shl team before his growth spurt. it's relatively rare for club teams to move young prospects just to get them in the shl unless they are exceptional talents or their drafting nhl team requests it.

Generally, legit NHL prospects dominate the Allsvenskan in their D+1/2 year, they don't score barely .5ppg in their +2 year. Karlsson's team was relegated 2 years ago and that has very little bearing on anything - we should be concerned with how he's performing in the league he's in, not how he ended up there.

It's not a bad developmental league for talented 17-19 year olds to get experience playing against men before moving on to the SHL. I'm not saying Karlsson is doomed to never see the ice in the NHL, but the probability is incredibly low based on comparables.

[Lindgren]

Silovs got the start today for Barrie, so he took the net in both games of their back-to-back. It looks like he's taken the starter's job.

His save percentage is now at .913, and he's showing some consistency, at least judging by the stats, after a bad stretch of a few games earlier in the season.

not a lot of good news on the north american prospect scoreboard this weekend.

 

[Lindgren]

not a lot of good news on the north american prospect scoreboard this weekend.

Yeah, not much excitement there. Kielly's outing looks good, and his save percentage after 3 games is .923. Maybe he'll get more starts at this point.

I try to remember when the stats come up this way that SC is just the messenger, but it's tough not to blame him.

 

[MS]

Keppen has had a disappointing start after a strong finish to the season and a good camp here. His team is deeper so his icetime is probably down a bit but I expected him to shred the OHL this year.

 

[Josepho]

No one from the 2019 draft really off to an eyepopping start.

 

[Bankerguy]

prospect production is dissappointing

Silovs is looking like 'found money' as a goalie prospect. I was kinda surprised the Canucks signed him to an entry-level deal so quickly, but after a predictable month of adjustment to NA hockey, he's coming on like gangbusters in Barrie. And the best thing is that because the Canucks signed him out of Europe at the start of the season, he's eligible to go to Utica as soon as next season.

You have to trust the judgement of goaltending guru Ian Clarke. Silovs is a big, athletic goalie but not picked until the seventh round. He's a keeper already.

Carson Focht scored again, up to 10 goals in 13 games now for Calgary

[vanuck]

How much has he improved in his D+2 season exactly?

He had 18 points last year, and is on pace for 27 points this year. This is not a huge improvement for what is at best an ECHL-level league. Are there any comparable forwards you can think of who had equivalent production in their D+2 year in Sweden's second league and went on to have successful NHL careers?

Forget equivalent production even, I'd be curious to know how many players who played in the Allsvenskan in their D+2 season and made it to the NHL as anything more than a 4th liner.

2 goals by Rathbone so far tonight against Dartmouth.

I see Craig Button was pumping the tires on Rathbone via his Twitter account, after watching him score twice for Harvard. And those goals were something, both filthy snap-shots that totally handcuffed the goalie.

But what stood out for me is Rathbone's wheels.....this kid has some serious hops. I guess the downside is he's only 5'10".....but another high-end offensive d-man who can either lead the rush or enter the zone late and deliver on his scoring chances, is something you can never have too much of.

I guess the only issue is that playing for Harvard, he's going to want to finish his junior year at least and maybe even his senior year. A Harvard degree is nothing to take lightly.

 

[Hoghandler]

Latest report said Rathbone grew to 5'11 and I believe 195lbs.

This is a kid to watch very closely this season. His upside is as high as any defense prospect in the organisation right now. Defensive game started to round out over the course of last season, while he's gotten noticeably stronger too.

THIS is the guy with Torrey Krug upside, not Quinn Hughes.
