Prospect Info: 2023-24 Ducks Prospects

Buteyets is a dark horse in our prospect pool imo, I think he may open some eyes once he comes to NA.

The league fans are going to hate us if we have
Dostal
Suchanek
Clara

And buteyets is anything
Clang

And Gage as well. We are crowded in nets no doubt with young players.

I like Buteyets as I've tracked him all season. We're gonna have four netminders in NA below the NHL in Clang, Suchanek, Alexander, and Buteyets.

 

[Kalv]

Aaaaaaaaa (I'm excited)

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Buteyets is an interesting inclusion here, both due to being an intriguing prospect but also because him being in SD next year would likely require some movement in our goalie group.

Would they keep all three of Suchanek/Clang/Buteyets in the AHL at the same time? Seems unlikely.

Would they give Suchanek a shot at backing up Dostal already, if Gibson is moved this summer?

Is Clang perhaps trade bait, having been passed by Suchanek this year?

I'm guessing they just put Buteyets and Alexander in Tulsa.

I was operating based on the Verbeek quote saying Buteyets would likely be with the Gulls

Ya, I just don't see how that would make sense. Maybe Verbeek just expanded it to guys coming to play NA pro hockey in his head. And I'm sure there will be goalie injuries so Buteyets or Alexander will play in San Diego a little bit even if they don't start there.

Dionicio has an assist.

I would not be surprised if they went into the season with this and figure injuries and demotion due to underperformance would lead to it sorting itself out

Pat will make the whole prospect camp bagskate for 2h because of this

It’s just nice to hear that there is a “big name insider” that actually seems to follow the Ducks to some extent. Was surprised how much he knew about them, especially in comparison with the other media folks who are the kind that help to perpetuate the dumbfounding Zegras trade discussion.

Depends on the extent of pressure and what loose organizing means, but I'm actually fine with bending the rules like this. Perhaps though it is only deliberately softened by Friedman in order to not come out so judgingly because he's not sure.

He's overall good with the Ducks and in general, he's pretty much as good as it gets these days. He seems to have filled the void after Mckenzie retired. Lebrun is still good but i feel like Elliotte is even more plugged in these days which is impressive. I do think Lebrun has some connections with the Ducks as well.

I've seen Elliotte get some heat before on this board for lack of clarity and specificity. always chuckle at those comments, would you rather there be no insider knowledge of our team?

I thought it was so interesting that so many Ducks Prospects/Players played in that Florida 3on3 tournament last offseason. Wasn't it Zegras, Carlsson, Nesterenko, Minty, Pasta, Hvid all played. Just seemed so weird all of those players would play in this league without some organization by the Ducks.

Crazy lil' ball of hate trying to keep up with the how the MLB's Angels mistreat their prospects. That $50K fine really is a nothing reprimand. Being put on notice that it did occur does put more scrutiny on the org.

I get why the rule exists but at the same time I don't really care that the team chose to organize this

 

[Boo Boo]

Am at work but If I remember correctly they say on the podcast that the prospects had to pay their own way to a camp which sucks especially since they may or may not even get a shot with the org.

This was my thought. Shouldn’t be putting pressure on people that you aren’t paying to spend a significant chunk of change out of pocket.

Unless there was an under the table guarantee to get a contract if they did. Which would be a much bigger problem for the team if that ever got proven. Tinfoil hats are on the table to the left of the door.

Not a great look. This, along with the open, public pressure to play hurt (among other things), are some fairly serious red flags. Hopefully it looks different inside the organization.

I don't think the fine was for organizing the camp, it was evidently for not making it clear enough that it was totally optional.

This is the part of it that's garbage. I'm not sure if all the guys that were there had contracts yet but flying to florida to pay to participate in a camp isn't cheap, especially for a teenager making junior hockey "wages". Pretty shit thing for management to do imo.

Which is funny because they also said that the prospects paying their way for this camp was one of the mitigating factors and that the punishment would have been much steeper had the ducks officially been paying for the camp.

I had a bad feeling about it at the time but now knowing a few more details I really dislike how the organization basically made them pay to give up vacation days
