Prospect Info: 2022-23 Ducks Prospects

[Hockey Duckie]

Wonder if Minty makes a strong case to make the team next year. I know he still needs to work on things to be able to compete on the NHL level.

It’s kinda crazy with how bad our current D is, we likely have the deepest and most hopeful D prospect pool in the league. Just gotta be patient.

I saw the PV thread resurrected and re-read a couple of my posts on the last page. I'm spot on when I wrote that it doesn't matter what forwards we get if we don't address the blueline properly and it'll be a long season. LoL

We do have a lot of potential on the blueline that we just have to wait to mature some. Next season is gonna be exciting at the AHL level and maybe the NHL level if we win the lottery as well as get both NCAA boys to sign. Not looking at wins and losses next year, just more development.

I’ve said it since draft day he’ll def see nhl time next year(and I wouldn’t be shocked if he sticks up here).


Gulls hypothetically get zellweger thrun lacombe and hinds(I think )

Will francis has an assist and I believe that is finally, finally his first NCAA point.

For the second time Francis' first NCAA point has been revoked. Goal is now unassisted.

Zellweger has his second assist of the night and is approaching 2 ppg with Kamloops.

Who the hell pissed off zellweger

 

[Gliff]

Well he had byfield still as a king prospect(they got 7th)…. I imagine that was the difference maker between the 2 teams

What a joke. He has more NHL games played then McTavish does.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Gaucher is getting better and better on the RW. I like how it gives him more scoring chances. He has been really good offensively in the last few games.

 

[All Mighty]

Yes but he’s been in the AHL for like half the season. I’d consider him more of a prospect than McTavish tbh.

He isn't using anything concrete to judge a prospect vs. an NHL player, just his general feeling on if a player probably isn't going back to the minors again. In this case I think he's right.

Except, McTavish doesn't have that option of going down to the AHL due to his age. So we had to develop McTavish on the fly at the NHL level.

Which is even more of a reason to believe McTavish is no longer a prospect. He's an NHL player now.

Eh... McTavish is an NHL player for Wheeler's pool ranking. McTavish is still a prospect learning how to play at the NHL level. 23 year old Regenda was sent to the AHL because the option existed. Regenda looked good better than some of our players, but was still sent down. We don't have that luxury available for us with McTavish.

Zegras had a whole off-season after his 24-game NHL stint to acclimate himself to the pro level. Even in Zegras' 24-game NHL stint, it was split into two parts: start in the AHL as a wing and then NHL as a wing; then start in the AHL as a center and start in the NHL as a center. Lindholm spent a season in the AHL before going to the NHL.

Zegras, NHL

D+2: 24 games, 54.2 ppg​

D+3: 75 games, 81.3 ppg​

D+4: 50 games, 84.0 ppg​

McTavish, NHL

D+2: 49 games, 57.1 ppg​

Ya not that it’s a big deal, but that’s basically the difference between the 2 prospect pools.

All their top picks in same range as ours are still prospects

Turcotte vs zegras
byfield vs drysdale
Clarke vs mctavish

There are some U23 core evaluation lists around, I think it's in the same the Athletic. Those are much better representations of the state of the franchise's future.

I have no problem with how Wheeler lists those prospects, but if we compare just prospect lists like that, it's about seeing ''who else will this franchise have in the future to come in and make a difference'' instead of ''this is how well they are building for the future''. Have to set those expectations straight with these lists.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Blueline denial, takes the puck up ice himself, go-ahead goal primary assist. Tidy bit of work.

I also love the announcers line of "boy they're struggling to get around him tonight," great to hear

Well Kane was 3 years younger but thats still good

EDIT: there's one player that comes to mind that also got 130 points in his D+2 year, his name is Corey Perry. Albeit Pears had a better frame, a more translatable ''you will hate me and I will score goals whatever means necessary from your netfront'' type of a game and also his D+1 was far better than Pastujovs. And Pastas current stint which still isn't a full season.

But you know, if Pasta can be half as good as Pears, then we get a good one in the 3rd round.

Luneau has an assist so far today.

He's added a couple more assists, now 0+3 in an 11-3 rout. He's up to 52 points in 46 games.

Tschigerl finished today's game with an assist.

Rakell trade for two unknowns, fringe NHLers, prospect G Clang, and 2022 2nd round pick, D Luneau. The trade is looking good so far, considering Strome is assuming Rakell's role - providing offense and very little defense.

Mintyukov has his 18th goal and 63rd point of the season, both new personal bests. He is 18+45 in 48 after going 17+45 in 67 last year.
