I`d like to see Levtchi get some time up. He could work very well in the Top6 if injuries come up.

Some very short evals from last night's game. Keep in mind I missed most of the first period because the parking lot situation was absolutely brutal. Took 45 minutes from arriving at the arena to actually parking. Hartford scored their 1-1 goal just as I got to my seat section.
Denisenko - Not too different from my previous times seeing in play in person. He does have a very "pro" way about him. His movements are very calculated and fluid, Barkov-esque dare I say. But he's never overly involved in the play from what I see. He makes little passes, takes some shots, but I don't find him to be creating much.
Late in the first (or maybe it was at some point in the 2nd) he took a weird hit and fall in the corner, but got back up and didn't appear to be injured. His shifts were pretty limited in number in the 2nd and 3rd - not sure if it was performance related or related to that fall. In the 3rd specifically, he played about 2 shifts in the first 5 or so minutes, then didn't get a shift until about 7 or 8 minutes left (despite there being several power plays). On that first shift, he got an assist on a broken play goal in the slot. I missed the goal in real time because I was typing a post lol, by the replay on the screen I thought he had actually scored it but it was Tierney (17 vs. 14).
I've never really come away impressed watching him, so maybe I'm biased here but he didn't really stand out in any particular way. I'd be surprised if he had more than 12 or 13 minutes of ice time.
Heponiemi - I thought he was really great. Felt like he had the puck on his stick more than any of the other forwards, if not pretty close. He looks very confident with the puck. Played the half-wall on the PP. No complaints, I think he'll put up career numbers this year and likely be a top call up option. I missed his goal because of the parking situation, but it wasn't anything fancy from the replay I saw. I think it was a bouncing puck that was redirected in the slot.
Sourdif - I thought Sourdif was very noticeable, even more so than Denisenko. He had at least 3 high-quality scoring chances in the 2nd alone, I forget exactly what they were - I think one was a shorthanded chance since he was getting PK time. Great skater, confident player, I think he'll put up some good numbers this year. Trocheck-esque.
Kinnunen - Good puck mover, good size, I see him as a better Gildon. He got pretty heavy ice time - on the PP, PK, and was the starting D in OT.
Sjalin - Similar to Kinnunen, good puck mover and relied upon a lot last night. He took a brutal hit from behind by Julien Gauthier in the 2nd and left the game for a bit, but came back. I don't believe he was on the PP, but he was on a couple of the PK units with Carlsson.
Bowlby - I like his game a lot. Smart, reliable, can really skate - he had a breakaway chance, plays PK. I think he eventually gets in a game for us.
Levtchi - Really involved, great shot, good size. I don't think the AHL will be much of an issue for him, I'm guessing he's probably at or near the top of the call-up list. Top PP unit and started in OT with Nash and Kinnunen.
Carlsson - Really no surprise here, he got heavy minutes. It felt like he was on the ice the whole game. Every situation he was out there. He was beat a bit on the Hartford 3-2 goal, but the guy had some good speed on the outside and recovered from Carlsson's stick check, so I don't totally fault him.
Hutsko - As usual, bit of a waterbug out there. I think there was a stretch in the 2nd where he didn't really get a shift, had a couple scoring chances where he threw his head up in disbelief.
Ludvig - Didn't really stand out but with his game that's probably a good thing. He was pretty physical and got into it in one of the scrums with a guy that was much bigger than him, you could see his face on the Jumbotron and it gave me Tkachuk vibes from the other night. Reminder that he hasn't played much hockey over the last 2 years because of covid and last year's injury, so I'm interested to see how he does this year.
Giles - Big body and moves well despite that. Uses his size too. Curious to see what he can do in a full season.
Berube - I thought he was pretty good overall. I'd like to see him stop the 2nd one on the PP, looked like it just went right through him. But in then 2nd and 3rd he probably made 3-4 grade A saves that could've really changed the game if they had gone in.

Hopefully I can get out to some more games this year. It's hard to balance just relaxing and watching the game with focusing on players lol.

Hope so...several potential contributors to the big club after a while developing the AHL. Curious to see if Forwards Denisenko bounces back, if Hepo continues his strong play after being one of the final cuts, and Sourdif and Levtchi adapting to Pro hockey in the A.
On the D side looking for big minutes and continued improvement from Carlsson, and in Ludvig and Gilodon can stay healthy and contribute in their own way!
Curious if anyone knows what has happened to Serron Noel? To me, seems obvious that he has been passed over by several in the group at Charlotte. I had pretty high hopes for him when he was picked, intrigued like most by his size / speed potential... started off pretty well post draft year(s), then disappeared...not sure exactly why...

You plan on going to more of their games? Can't remember if you're in the area or not?
Good analysis though.
Sourdif definitely became my fave forward prospect, haven't seen much of Samo or it may be closer for me.
Really like the good vibes from Bowlby, Hutsko, feel one of those two will have chance to become a good bottom 6 guy in near future.
Still have high hopes for Ludvig to become a good #4 with limited chance of #3. The work ethic giving me majority of those potential levels/roles in future. Poor man's Trouba?
And Carlsson should be up here over Mahura IMO.

My guess is Noel is injured, he wasn't at our camp and wasn't at Charlotte's either from what I can tell. He was listed as a scratch for yesterday's game.
Yep, I'm in the area. Gonna try to get to some more games, only went to opening night last year lol. It's a cool vibe there since the arena is a lot smaller than an NHL arena, so you feel a lot closer to the ice.
Only thing is driving there is a pain since it's basically right in the heart of Charlotte which is a tough place to be traffic-wise around 6-7pm.

Thx Bat...
...I assume so as well, just was surprised to not hear a mention or anything about him at all from any of the beats covering the Team since the Camps started.

Appreciate the detailed scouting report!
Based on the photo you took and the fact that you were typing, were you in some press section?

Guzda was 4 seconds away from a shutout in his first AHL start. Wow.
Really excited to see what he can bring this year. He had a good half season as a overager last year in Barrie.
A tough playoffs for him, as I believe he got hurt after game 1 in the second round of the playoffs. Ultimately Barŕie would lose the series.
Samoskevich #6 Michigan beat up on #9 Boston University 9-2.
He had two goals and an assist (2 PPP). That gives him four goals and three assists in three games!

Checking the Wisconsin boxscore tonight, Lindmark is back in the lineup this year after only playing 8? games last year. Not sure of what kind of injury he suffered. I'm about three games late this year getting to the NCAA Prospect watch; Lindmark scored a short-handed goal last week.
Fun fact, former Panther Prospect Similac has transferred there from Quinnipiac.

Charlotte with a 3-1 win and take both games against Hartford to start the season 2-0-0.
Guzda turned away 30 of 31 to earn 1st star in his pro debut.
Nash seems to be fitting in well there as he has a goal and 4pts through the two games.
Levtchi (2g, 1a) and Carlsson (3a) off to great starts as well.
