Prospect Info: 2022-23 Ducks Prospects

[DavidBL]

Mintyukov, Gaucher, Zellweger, Hinds, Wiebe

Isn't Pastujov also eligible?

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Gaucher has one more year in juniors? OR is he AHL bound next year?

Zell and Minty are AHL bound.

Does anyone have a list of who will be eligible to go pro next season our of our prospects?

Here's what I came up with. If I forgot someone notable, then chime in. I excluded Galimov and Sundsvik from the 2020 draft.

I knew I forgot somebody.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Thanks Everyone!

So San DIego is going to add around 8 maybe 9 players this season.

Mcllvane is going to have his work cut out for him in teaching these guys how to be pros.

Noah Warren traded to the Victoriaville Tigres for 1+2+3

Quebec and Sherbrooke also making a ton of rebuilding trades. The big three in the Q all making deals.

Luneau has to be next.

I hope it helps Warren break out. I was excited that we added his profile last year but really disappointed in his development.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Victoriaville should be a contender next season. Hopefully he gets the chance to play long playoffs!

Some people thought that it would be Luneau since Victoriaville is his hometown.

Wasn’t he injured for most of the season? I don’t understand how this line of thinking can be used to monitor his development progression

Sure he was recovering from an off-season injury, then got injured again late in the season. But he still got to play 47 games and didn’t progress much from the previous season. For a 2nd round pick there are higher expectations.

For 1st rounders too!

For 1st rounders too!

Please stop.

I'd be interested to hear the reasoning why Warren's development is disappointing.

 

[goonsaredumb]

I'd be interested to hear the reasoning why Warren's development is disappointing.

same, dude wasn't drafted to be some offensive dynamo but his P/PG improved from .38 to .42 and his +/- improved from +17 to +22 for people that care about that, and he was just as good with the physical stuff he was drafted for as the year we drafted him.

His inability to stay on the ice is concerning.

 

[mightyquack]

His inability to stay on the ice is concerning.

Is it an inability to stay on the ice? He played 33/35 games in 20/21, 69/75 games 21/22 and then only 47/81 games in 22/23. He obviously missed significant time this season but that was a major injury. I'd rather that then him building up a ton of niggly little injuries keeping him off the ice.

I don't think it's a concern just yet personally.

Well he had the injury last summer as well that kept him out of training camp and then the beginning of his season and then the shoulder thing that ended his season. I get a little queasy when a young, strong, physical kid like him starts missing major time with injuries that go hand in hand with his physicality.

That's fair and certainly valid. Fingers crossed that he can stay injury free from this point.

I'm trying to think of one of our prospects historically who have had injury troubles as kids that kind of just went away.

Connor Murphy? Wait… duck prospect…normally those don’t make it…

 

[Vachon23]

Noah Warren is gonna have a big role here in Victoriaville playing with P-O Roy what will make one the best if not the best pair in the Q.

For Luneau, I would say 85% chances he ends up with Halifax

Warren's still young, he doesn't turn 19 until July 15th. I have viewed him as a long term project and not be on the same trajectory as Mintyukov, Zellweger, or Luneau. Hinds has turned out to be a surprise. Warren being 6'5" and 225 as a 17-year old has upside as a shutdown defenseman if he can be developed.

With that said, we have seen injuries derail the development of RD Andersson. RD Drysdale lost a year last season. Which would mean that we should try to keep Moore in our organization. He's a 6'3 shutdown RD who can skate well and improving his offense. Need many darts just in case.

I wouldn’t consider it as having gone away just yet, but after one early injury, Max Jones played 50+ games in a row or so. Fingers crossed all the injury prone stuff is behind him.

Lindholm and McTavish. Well, the jury's still out on McTavish b/c it's still early in his career.

Hinds has been playing on his off-side?
