Prospect Info: 2022-23 Ducks Prospects

[KaseMeOutside]

Christ, scouts and coaches love Gaucher just like they loved McTavish give the kid some time to develop as a player

Mintyukov is 1+1 in the second period of his game.

A stat that is interesting to me is mintyukov has taken one minor penalty in 17 games.

Mintyukov has added a second assist.

Likes the backhand. Good makes him a bigger threat.

As I say that he gets a fighting major in the third period, appears he also received an instigator. Nice!

4 years from now, people will be blaming Static for getting their hopes up about our prospect pool

I'll be waiting for Zellweger's props later into the season when his offense goes onto another level. Then we'll be boasting about the best offensive defensemen in the OHL and WHL.

In the Q, the Ducks' Hinds is two points behind the top defensive guy who has 16 points. Hinds has 14 pts in 14 games. Lots of scouts said he's just a shutdown defenseman without any more potential. Hinds has two more points than Luneau. Hinds is a defensive guy first and foremost as he's tied for the team lead in +12 rating. That plus/minus rating ranks him 5th overall in the Q right now.

I can't take the Q seriously compared to most the other leagues lol

All those Galimov highlights will be buried in the HF time capsule. Our ancestors will find them in the ruins of civilization and think he was the greatest Duck of all time

Why? Some of the greatest players of all time/greatest players in the league right now came from the Q and a Q team has won the Memorial Cup 6 out of the last 10 times it's been held.

I just have a bias I guess, OHL whl shl ncaa usa development etc. (not in order) I like more

The Q is kind of like under the radar, but I'm not convinced it's for a good reason. IIRC their players won some conditioning tests? And as @goonsaredumb mentioned, they have won a good share of Memorial Cups, even tho the last one was weird. Sea Dogs were so rested, while the Bulldogs were completely gassed and banged up.

Will see it a few years from now I guess. But either way, I don't recall us having much of success from other CHL leagues since Rakell/Gibson.

A bit of a comparison:

Minty now has a better PPG rate than Zellweger. Minty is #5 best scorer overall in the OHL. He is #10 in the +/- in the OHL.

As for the PPG rate, Zell is basically the same as Minty, with a bit more goals than him tho. But Zellweger is worst on his team in +/- at -5 which is not really good for one of the best teams in the league

Minty looks like the real deal…. Glad he was so underrated at the draft and we were able to snag him.


His defensive game was way over blown, he’s not nearly as bad as people made him out to be

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Because the Q is seen as a offensive minded league, there will be under the radar defensive Dmen there.
Beauch was from the Q for example.

Have watched Q games and OHL games live recently. I'd say the top end talent is comparable, the best teams in both leagues tend to stack up fairly close. But the Q doesn't have quite as deep of a talent pool, overall ends up being more of a watered down league. Throughout the Q there are kids from Ontario who played in the OHL awhile but were cut and waived through the league - or kids from Ontario junior A/B (Junior C in Hunter Drew's case) teams who couldn't quite crack the OHL.

Yup, the top teams and players are as good as any of the 3 leagues but the players at the shallow end of the talent pool are much weaker. And sometimes those guys that come from Ontario are players who legitimately fell through the cracks as opposed to being good enough for the Q and not the O, Gatineau has picked up a couple good players from Ottawa in Giroux and Mike Hoffman this way for example.
