Prospect Info: 2022-23 Ducks Prospects

[Static]

Hinds is in the lineup today for Sherbrooke.

 

[Static]

Noah warren is making his first appearance of the preseason today (I think). Luneau just scored in his second straight game. Hoping for a big offensive season for him and he's starting out well.

 

[Static]

Hvidson making his preseason debut as 1C.

 

[Static]

Luneau has his second of the game, three goals in three games now.

 

[Static]

Warren with his first point of the preseason, a primary assist on Gatineau's fourth goal.

 

[Static]

Luneau was named first star of his game, gaucher finished scoreless in his.

 

[Static]

Hvidston with a primary assist on the PP. This is a kid I'm going to be following really closely. Youngest player in the entire '22 class and could have a hugely expanded role with Swift Current this season.

 

[Static]

Hvidston scores to put SC up 3-1, now 1+1.

Ranking the NHL's top 100 affiliated prospects in 2022: Skaters 100-51

EP Rinkside lead scout David St-Louis starts our countdown of the top 100 affiliated prospects with a look at the players ranked 100-51 for this year's series.

So far they have lacombe at 80, gaucher at 75, and perreault at 53. I imagine, McTavish, zellweger, and mintyukov will land in the top 50. Not sure if goaltenders are considered.

Well the Kings are it in too so Stephens might make the trip.

0% chance, but I'll be making snap judgements on games I haven't watched.

Incoming OZ and Minty not being there lol.

In all seriousness, that's pretty awesome. It wouldn't suprise me if Minty is close to the top 10. EP was really high on him the whole season. I believe they had him higher then anyone.

 

[Static]

Hvidston is not in the lineup for swift current tonight, he's likely in Anaheim.

Ranking the NHL's top 100 affiliated prospects in 2022: Skaters 25-1

The Elite Prospects affiliated skater prospects ranking countdown comes to an end with J.D. Burke's writeup on the 25 best prospects yet to establish themselves as full-time NHLers.

Zellweger at 23, mintyukov at 19, McTavish at 5.

[On Olen Zellweger]You have to go all the way back to Darryl Sydor's 1990-91 season to find a more productive draft-plus-one campaign in the WHL than the one that Olen Zellweger just authored with the Everett Silvertips. For an encore, the Ducks defensive prospect followed that up with an 11-point performance in his country's colours at the summer World Juniors, setting a new record draft-plus-one scoring at the tournament as a defenceman. Picture-perfect skating form sets the foundation of Zellweger's game, allowing him to effortlessly cover large swaths of ground on a shift-to-shift basis, contributing to every phase of the game. There are some in the industry who worry about his capacity to defend at the NHL level, but the Ducks' second-round pick in 2021 has thus far proven a stout defender in-zone and between the blue lines.

[On Pavel Mintyukov] An offensive defenceman by trade, Pavel Mintyukov makes something happen nearly every time he steps on the ice. The Ducks first-round pick in last summer's draft stacks high-end handling and passing skills on an effortless forward stride and four-way mobility to glide past opponents in transition and from the offensive blue line. Mintyukov is one of only a handful of defencemen from last year's draft with true power play quarterback upside, but volatility as an in-zone defender could limit a coach's trust at evens.

[On Mason McTavish] One of the most advanced small-area scorers outside of the NHL, Mason McTavish is destined for a lengthy, productive career in the sport's top league. There isn't any assignment that the Ducks former third overall pick can't handle. You know the type, someone a coach calls on with a minute left in one-goal games, defending a lead or trying to even up the score. His pace and engagement level weren't always where they needed to be with the Hamilton Bulldogs last season, but we don't see that as something to worry about long-term.
