Prospect Info: 2023-24 Ducks Prospects

[Static]

Colangelo has another assist. Both primary.

 

[All Mighty]

BC seems to rely on Gauthier a lot on PP zone entries. And he's pretty good at it.

 

[All Mighty]

Gauthier completes the birthday hat trick with an empty net goal.

One of callow's goals now credited to another.

Finishes 1+2.

That video was better produced than 75% of NHL teams lol

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Gauthier didn't dominate the game per se but he certainly had some dominant shifts. First two goals were impressive in different ways, sniping one off the rush and then shrugging off a check to set up a give and go. He does tend to disappear at times, for a guy who can be such a force. Part of that might be being on such a stacked team. Plus BC spent a lot of time killing penalties, which I don't think he does.

Does he remind you of any current players?

Does he remind you of any current players?

Somewhere on the spectrum of Mantha to Zibanejad or Scheifele. Maybe a bit of Pacioretty or Burakovsky.

EDIT: I'll list out some of Gauthier's attributes I've seen and if anyone thinks of a current player that fits that description, please leave the name.

-High-end shot
-Knows where to go to score goals
-Above average skating
-Above average size (6'2", will probably get above 200 lbs)
-Not a bruiser, but also not afraid to hit
-Good passer
-Above average at zone entries
-A bit of a floater, but not totally useless defensively

He's strong on his skates, too. He's not super thick or anything but he's going to be very hard to take the puck away from. A power forward in the sense that if he wants to get to the net by going through players, he can.

Also your list is pretty much what I saw, although I know his scouting reports say he knows his way around the defensive zone pretty well. He's obviously very talented, people should be excited about him.

Sounds like Mason McTavish, ha

Actually, pretty accurate skills and stature wise.

Just that Gauthier operates off the puck whereas McTavish operates more so with the puck. Hence why Gauthier is often dubbed as complementary and not as play driver. That is also why the fit is perfect for the Ducks.

CHL notebook: Ducks prospect Sidorov makes bid for goal of year in WHL | NHL.com

Behind-the-back flip for score, improving 2-way game has Saskatoon forward's stock rising

I really like his attitude about his standing in the WHL. He understands his production is what it should be at his age.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

One of callow's goals now credited to another.

Callow is RD Moore's teammate at Harvard. Moore didn't appear in last night's game. Moore played one game in his return from a LBI and then didn't play the next night last weekend. Dunno what his current injury is or if it's a recurring injury.

 

[Static]

Dionicio finished last night with an assist. Terrance finished 1+1 and pitre 2+1.

 

[Static]

Dionicio has a goal, pitre an assist.

Callow has an assist.

 

[Static]

Colangelo 1+1

 

[Static]

Hvidston isn't in the lineup tonight and I suspect the last game either. I paid poor attention.

 

[Static]

Myatovic finished 1+1.

 

[GunnarStahl]

Myatovic finished 1+1.

Good, hopefully he gets some momentum going.

 

[Static]

Olen now 2+1, gulls lead 4-3 late.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Dionicio has a goal, pitre an assist.

Callow has an assist.

Callow's line got promoted from 3rd pairing to 2nd pairing on Jan 14th. The extra time has given that line more scoring chances. What a great opportunity for Callow.

Although, I gotta see it longer than one season. Kukkonen has me gun shy about NCAA forward prospects not named Cutter.

[WhatTheDuck]

His big frame and shooting ability could make him a nice complimentary winger. Can see what they were going for there.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

The ability to shoot in traffic, is an underrated skill. Most good hockey players have little to problem shooting in open ice given a half decent pass. Not everyone has the wrist/hand strength, touch, confidence and mindset to be a shooter in high traffic. Myatovic looks like a shooter
