Prospect Info: 2023-24 Prospect Info (CHL, NCAA, Europe)

[GeoRox89]

Oshawa and Ritchie are playing game #3 tonight against London. They have been outscored 17-2 overall in the first two games.

Is that bad?

Ritchie scored the opener and they’re up 2-0 now

Edit: Just added a nice assist to put them up 3-0 now

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Oshawa go down 0-3 in the series after losing 7-6 in 2OT tonight. Ritchie with 1G 3A.

 

[Hasbro]

I have a hunch a Top 6 opportunity will be available for Callum next season.

Absolutely

Does their team have goaltending? Holy smokes...

He'll at least get 9 games. I'd imagine Landeskog will slot in on the 3rd line to start whenever that happens.

He needs a NHL contract first plus the Avs don’t do 9 game trials. He’ll be back in Oshawa by October.m

Alex Newhook drafted in 2019, signed two seasons later, probably would have been one if he wasn't NCAA.

Justin Barron drafted 2020, signed 10 months later.

Oskar Olausson drafted 2021, signed 4 months later.

Cal Ritchie will get a contract. No idea why that's even a concern.

The Avs need cheap talent. He will get every opportunity to make this club.

 

[henchman21]

Ritchie will be signed July 1. I don't think he makes the team (though opportunity is there), but the contract is zero concern.

Damn, Kono only back for 1 year before leaving again.

Guessing if Bannister falters in St. Louis they give Konowalchuk a shot. He probably realized he wasn't supplanting Bednar here anytime soon.

Why would they care about July 1?

PR there is no real CBA difference.

It's not like the Avs' social media department will have anything else to tweet about on July 1st with out cap situation.

They’ll bring back the old Jost tweets

I wonder if from NCAA to KHL changes the amount of time we have his rights for? Must not have had many options (or any) in the transfer portal. Hope he can bounce back after a tough junior year. He was one of those dark horse prospects after a solid sophomore year.

No, it just matters where he was drafted from. It should be one more year but as he’s going to turn 24 and the Avs aren’t having him play pro in the system then they just aren’t interested.

Yup... Only caveat to this is if a player is on 'loan' when drafted we get into some oddities. Fairly rare though.

Buyalsky simply couldn't find a taker in the NCAA for a bigger role (because all he really can do is skate), so him going pro back home makes sense. I doubt he's full time KHL... if he is, that'll show how far the KHL has really fallen.

Was going to post that @RockLobster but you beat me to it. Also saw Graham Sward (and Ivan Zhigalov if you count him) need to be signed by 6/1 or Avs lose his rights.

Great pick!! Bravo!!!

 

[henchman21]

Great pick!! Bravo!!!

He was always going to be a boom/bust sort where the boom wasn't that high. Avs have a clear tendency to get enchanted with big guys who can fly despite other flaws. His whole game upon getting drafted was receive the puck on an outlet pass, head down and skate as fast as possible towards the net, make a low percentage shot. And that just never evolved... injuries didn't help. He was pretty low percentage to begin with. Guys like Blake, Lilliberg (who Arizona stupidly decided not to sign), Ufko, Duke, and Roy all going within a round or so later hurts.

Wallstrom has one of the single best performances in net that I have tape on, an OT win vs the Janesville Jets in Feb of 23. Dude was absurd in that game.

So aside from that, no real opinions on him or how he *might* translate as a pro?
