Prospect Update, Pt 1: NA, Juniors, NCAA, USHL
Plus/Minus Leaders
1. LD Tyson Hinds with +21.
2T. LD Mintyukov with +19.
2T. C Gaucher with +19.
Defensemen throwing their offensive weight around.
Mintyukov, Luneau, and Thrun have all improved their PPG rates since last week! Luneau finally broke over a ppg rate this past week.
GM Verbeek on defensemen and one forward in the "Beeker" stream cast.
Hinds - Came away impressed at camp and didn't realize his offensive potential until recently
Warren - expected to be a top shutdown, complimentary D; potential Minty-Warren pairing
Moore - good hockey sense, but needs to improve offense
Minty and Zell - both have great offensive instincts, but need to improve their defense. They will probably need to develop that defensive structure in the AHL for a year or two.
Luneau - very good, but still needs to improve his strength and skating
LaCombe - college game is easy for LaCombe, great skater
Thrun - did well vs Michigan
Gaucher - prefers to see him at center due to tenacity, puck battle, and goes to the net
Verbeek's vision could be an NHL top-pairing set of Minty-Warren. If this is his vision, then the path to rebuilding the Ducks' blueline will be takings years to be established. It could be hurried a bit if he's able to get LaCombe and Thrun signed, though, b/c Verbeek does sound enamored by both.
