Prospect Info: 2023-2024 Coyotes Prospect General Discussion and Stats Weekly Update

[BAdvocate]

But and Simashev both scored today. But scored in regulation and Simashev stole the puck and won it in OT.

Pretty cool they scored the only goals today for Lokomotiv.

I think Fedotov made a poor choice to stay in the KHL for so much longer.
I think Duda made a poor choice to leave the KHL so early.
My hopes for them playing for the Coyotes is diminished - especially for Fedotov.

Fedotov was always a longshot to make the team anyway...especially w/the emergence of Maccelli, Doan and Guenther...there aren't that many top winger spots available. He's certainly not cut out for the 4th line, so unlikely he ever makes it over.

 

[British yote]

Imagine if we came out of that 2nd round with doan, knies and moser.

 

[wbwing]

Man, But seems like the perfect winger for Cooley. Put whoever emerges out of Guenther, Doan, and Mattika on the other side. Could be special.

 

[LuckyNumber11]

Fun note on Tanner Ludtke so far at UNO. He’s played center and both wings. Also started the year on their third line and has been promoted to their second line, while demoting their captain to the third line. He’s looked like a solid find so far

I was armchair GMing for 2 years down the road...

Keller - Cooley - But
Crouse - Geekie - Maccelli
Guenther - Hayton - Schmaltz
Nordh - McBain - Doan

 

[wbwing]

But - Cooley - Guenther
Crouse - Geekie/Hayton - Macceli
Keller - Mcbain /Hayton/Geekie- Schmaltz

Lines 1a, 1b and 1c

Whoever makes it out of the cauldron of prospects in the 4th. Could fully see a Doan/Mattika/who knows stealing a spot in that top 9. We have so many solid prospects coming up beyond the big names, one or more could hit. Gunther/Geekie could easily flame out.

Sleepers like Moroz still out there.

 

[superdeluxe]

Gotta figure that Bill wants Guenther to step up his play-making and power forward attributes. If he was ok with Guenther just being a sniper, he'd be with the big club.

You guys thinking gunner is going to be a PF in the league? Definitely saw lots of play making ability and sniper ability in juniors last year

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Guenther isn't going to be a PF...never going to happen. Not his style, he's more Kyle Conner, unlikely he gets more than 30 hits in a season.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Updated - also added Matt Villalta (G) Roadrunners, because he's only 24 and having a great season in Tucson. He's also improved every year in the AHL for 4 straight years

20-21: 3.43 .889
21-22: 2.98 .903
22-23: 2.65 .910
23-24: 2.46 .923

Seems like very solid improvement

What's wrong with Fedotov? He doesn't play anywhere, isn't listed as injured... Is he in Russian captivity??

I don't like Russian prospects. But our 4 boys seem to be talented good players and I like their development and hope they can help us moving forward at some point. Unfortunately, things are stalling a bit with Fedotov and Duda (he can't help it), but the development with But and Simashev is all the more pleasing.

He is playing. Problem is that he was traded to SKA St Petersburg in the offseason and they're a very, very bad team for developing prospects to play for. This is the same team that gave Michkov like 2m of ice time a game at best with Michkov in his draft year. And that's pretty much the story of Fedotov. His last game was on the 25th and he got 1:50 of ice time. About 1.5 shifts throughout the game. He's been benched pretty consistently since the middle of September. And while I don't think his defensive game is amazing he deserves more of a chance than that, but they aren't sending him down to the VHL either.

Unfortunately considering he signed for another 4 years in the KHL this offseason it's pretty unlikely that he comes over at any point in time, I wouldn't say his development has stalled over the past few years but it definitely looks like it's about to. I mean who knows really, but where he is right now is that he's competing with a bunch of guys who bring more to the table than being a speedy offense first winger and have shown a lot more progress than him.

I am a fan of him, but it doesn't look promising.

That’s called a piss missile.

It’s not like Fedotov hasn’t had chances.

Last year he played for Larionov, who is notoriously awesome at developing youngsters. Fedotov just wasnt very good.
So he was loaned to Neftekhimik where he performed better but was a team worst -12.

He was essentially a throw-in when SKA obtained his older brother (Maxim Fedotov) this offseason.
Imo, he’s not good enough to be a SKA regular at the moment. He should be developing in the VHL, getting loads of ice time.
Sadly SKA’s decisions dont make sense most of the time. Lol

I was wondering if you had a strong command of the Russian language by now.

Fedotov was pretty good in his loaner role as a 19yo, I don't think he played badly. Plus minus isn't an indicator of individual prowess. He does need to work on his defense, sure, but he'd probably do something with 10m of icetime a game even. He should definitely be in the VHL though, building confidence and working on what he needs to progress to the KHL.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Well folks, Wenatchee Wild down 5-1 going into the 3rd period on the road and Conor Geekie scores the last 4 goals of the game, last one in OT to win it.

Can't wait to see highlights of this one.

 

[TheLegend]

Three in the third and the GWG in OT.

Props to his head coach...seems like last year there were lots of comments about his coach limiting ice time unless he learned to played a two way game. I'm reminded a bit of Hanzal and Brent Sutter @ Red Deer.....here's hoping Geekie can be as important to this franchise as Hanzal was albeit sacrificing some defense for offense.

 

[TheLegend]

We got all the Geekie goals here….

 

[rt]

Context. Wenatchee was down 5-2 with 7mins left in the game against Portland, who was the 5th best team in the WHL. Geekie scores a hattrick, including a goal to tie the game with their goalie pulled in the final minute. Then he scores the 4th straight goal, an OT winner.
