Prospect Info: 2022-23 Ducks Prospects

[Gliff]

EP is really high on Minty. They had him higher then any publication pre draft.

 

[Kalv]

Thanks!

Wow. We're still that highly ranked without Zegras and Drysdale. I'm surprised.

Our top-4 has got to be McTavish, Zellweger, Minty, and Dostal. I suppose EP thinks we have three top-10 drafted prospects in McTavish, Minty, and Zellweger. Zellweger was just a week away from the 2022 draft and probably would have been selected over Korchinski.

If we fantasize about Zell being in this draft, then we have to also take Luke Hughes whos about the same age.

But yeah, Zell would go in the first round for sure, likely top half

I guess he means a Calder finalist?

 

[AngelDuck]

I love the optimism, and I’m very excited about our future, but I kind of find it hard to believe that our pool is better now than it was 365 days ago. Maybe the competition got a bit worse too?

That's an interesting ranking. Kukkonen is being highly regarded as our best college prospect out of the five ranked on here.

So was he playing on that in pre-season?

Yeah, I'm confused by that tweet.

Maybe Warren tweaked it far too much in the first pre-season game that it required foot surgery afterwards. I guess when the Anaheim staff questioned him about his foot, then they discovered it was an ongoing situation.

Something similar happened with Tracey years ago. He was playing injured through his WHL season and WJC. IIRC, he did play in the rookie tourney and it was during pre-season was when the Anaheim staff got a better look at Tracey.

This also reminds me about Silf's situation, but in one off-season. Silf decided to not do surgery two off-seasons ago and try to heal his hip through physical therapy and such. As the season went, it got worse and worse to where it required surgery. Technically, that hip problem was a pre-existing situation.

Mintyukov and Luneau both have assists in the first period of their games today.

Pastujov scores on the PP for hist first goal of the season.

Mintyukov scores, now 1+1. He is now tied for the league lead in points with 2+5 in three games.

Colangelo gets goal number one in game number one.

Colangelo gets goal number one in game number one.

Almsot all the goals I've seen him score leave me like unimpressed for some reason lol hopefully he turns into something we can use his size. His goals remind me a lot of Comtois goals a couple season ago, which I thought were fortunate for Max.

What is impressive is that he goes to the net. That was a significant problem identify by Murray and the staff. Two off-seasons ago, Murray denoted that only Comtois and Jones crash the net. Sometimes, you gotta love dirty goals. Of course, Colangelo has a big body and afforded that chance like a Comtois, Jones, Regenda, Gaucher, or McTcavish.

Cool story but Comtois was overrated and regressed heavily due to some puck luck during a pandemic season. There was literally MULTIPLE posters on here that did not want to give up Comtois for Eichel...

 

[Static]

Hvidston is 1+1 tonight, a very nice start to his season offensively.

 

[Static]

Colangelo also finished 1+1.

 

[Static]

Lacombe finished with an assist.

The story you're purposely omitting is that both Comtois and Jones were the only consistent forwards who crashed the net. Sometimes, in Comtois' case, it's better to be lucky than good. Unfortunately, he came in out of shape last season and couldn't lug that extra weight to get to the front of the net in time to induce that luck.

One of the reasons for the Ducks selecting McTavish was his ability to not only crash, but set up beachfront property in front of the net.

With Jones healthy and the signing of Regenda, we now possess a lot more big bodies that crash the net. Colangelo and Gaucher also do the same.

Do you see the theme here to knock out the personal hatred you have on Comtois? If Comtois can't pull it off, then we have others lined up behind him.

smh

Finished second star of the game.

Hvidston is 1+1 tonight, a very nice start to his season offensively.

He was named 2nd star for the game.

Alexander went 24/28 in goal. It looked a lot worse in the first period like 6 for 8, iirc. A good bounce back for him.
