Prospect Info: 2023, 7th round, 201st pick - F Emmit Finnie

[newfy]

Not gonna get excited about a draft+1 7th rounder but hes tearing it up pretty good right now. Maybe hes one of those guys who lost time with covid and hes gonna bloom a little later

And yet another.

It was like Datsyuk vs Florida and Lounge

Seems like his production exploded after they switched him away from center, so it might also just be a matter of having found a better line situation for him.

 

[Inspiration]

Kamloops is the 2nd worst team in the WHL by points percentage and has scored the 2nd fewest goals in the WHL. Nice season production-wise for Finnie given what I assume are fairly difficult circumstances.

9 months older and has 12 points in last 10 games, while other guy has 22 points in last 10 games

I was thinking a young Yzerman

That's not a bad guess, but I was thinking of this....

First thing I thought of when I saw that pic.

He has to charge his number

Where would he plug in though?

I agree with the excitement part. Though it would be nice if we ever got a late game for once, long time since we had an unexpected pick turn out.

Good thing they’re both ours then

 

[Henkka]

Interesting.

22 points at 11 games (and +5) as a Winger (2.000 points per game)

23 points at 34 games (and -23) as a Center. (0.676 points per game)

Your post didn't age very well.

EMMITT FINNIE HAVING A BREAKOUT SEASON - Kamloops Blazers

By Marty Hastings Find Marty on Twitter @MartheReporter or via email at [email protected] Emmitt Finnie is flying. The 18-year-old Detroit Red Wings’ prospect is riding an 11-game point streak, pacing his Kamloops Blazers offensively and earning WHL player of the week honours for...

How did he look on his 3 ahl games?

Any opinions on this guy?

Didn't notice him

 

[Our Lady Peace]

36 points in 23 games. Showing that Lombardi trajectory

His goal was pretty smart. Stick check the defender to eliminate getting the stick across so his winger can spring the pass through the outside. Great touch and finish

I have trouble projecting Finnie, but I like the skating, hands and smarts. He's got a good frame as well. Maybe a solid 3rd liner swiss army knife guy?

I'm gonna choose to be delusional and hope we get a way better player than a 3rd line guy lol

Last season he finished 1st in scoring on a horrible flint team by far and this season hes taken off . I'm hoping we found a late steal lord knows we need it

LFG. Check out the second goal, I haven't seen a backhander like that since Luke left.

The kid just keeps getting better.

Side note: These Major junior and AHL announcers are impressive.

I think there's a good probability that he winds up being a middle 6 winger, his production is about the same as Stankoven in his D+2 season for the same team. I'm hoping second line as well, I've seen enough UFA dumpster diving for wingers past their expiration date, and the Wings are a bit thin on LW prospects. When Finnie plays for GR next season, there's not a whole lot of competition for 1st line LW.
