There were a few Harvard prospects that earned consideration. The crafty Ryan Healey could’ve easily appeared, as could John Farinacci. Oh, and there’s Sean Farrell, but that felt too easy. Instead, Ian Moore earns the nod, and for good reason.

There aren’t many blueliners in the prospect sphere with better tools than Moore. He’s a powerful skater with an NHL shot, handling skill, and overwhelming strength. Over time, defence has become a strength for Moore. He closes space on opponents early and quickly. If he can’t kill the play with his stick, he steps into players, wins body positioning and knocks them to the ice. Even top NCAA forwards struggle to navigate his combination of mobility and aggression when he’s locked in.

When Moore recovers possession, his game becomes a bit less nuanced. He makes plenty of clever short-range passes, but too often, he’s passing to a teammate with more pressure than himself. That occurs in the offensive end, too. He’s also become more of a point shooter than the activator he was in the USHL.

What’s Next: While Moore’s game has become more defence-focused, he wasn’t always like that. Recapturing the dynamic rushes, where he deceives to create lanes, and the off-puck activation should make Moore a big scorer in the NCAA. But to ascend to top prospect status, he’ll have to consistently apply the flashes of manipulation and creation to the breakout.

Thank you for always doing this!

Zellweger has an assist and hvidston is now 1+1.

Hvidston is now 3+8 in 10 games. Early significant uptick in production from last season when he finished with 32 points in 58 games as the youngest draft eligible player in 2021.

Looks like a good gamble so far, but he needs to raise his shot production.

Good to read some positive things about Moore.

Just hope he doesn't become a top prospect, otherwise you can pencil him in to Boston or the Rangers in a couple of years time.

If we're able to sign LD/R LaCombe and LD Thrun, then Moore doesn't need to be a priority and could be trade bait.

LaCombe indicated the Ducks don't have to worry about him signing with the team. Thrun was more evasive, but if this is Thrun's senior year academically and if CapFriendly is correct that the Ducks' signing rights extend to August of 2024, then Thrun's options are limited and the advantage goes to signing with the Ducks.

Anaheim will have three CHL defensemen joining the pro ranks (probably AHL) next year in LD/RD Zellweger, LD Hinds, and LD Mintyukov. The year afterwards, two more CHL defensemen will join in RD Warren and RD Luneau.

BTW, CapFriendly lists the Ducks have until Aug 15, 2025 to sign Moore. That's quite some time that the Ducks probably aren't in a rush to sign him.
