2024-2025 Prospect Watch

[lanky]

Simashev, But are already playing KHL, no way they play in AHL first.

MavLam they may give another year in the AHL to bake him further, but I doubt it.

Agreed. And for Iginla, it would be wonderful if he could got to Tucson next year but he'll be too young. I'm guessing that he'll torch the WHL this year and prove he's ready for the next step.

Gabe Smith is looking good so far. 5 goals in 8 games plus a TKO.

Tig had another hat trick night plus an apple. Kids a stud.

 

[Dr VinnyBoombatz]

well, Nordh sure had a nice debut with the Soo

CHL is paywalled. But the AHL one is free. I think everyone gets one free unlock too.

Happy to give an HF discount. Just DM us.

Congrats to Artem Duda who gets his first Pro goal - Tucson up 1-0 in the first period

 

[MIGs Dog]

Is Cal Thomas still our prospect?

 

[Mosby]

Is Cal Thomas still our prospect?

Yes, still have his rights until the end of this season.

 

[Kaizen]

Yes, still have his rights until the end of this season.

Depends on whether he goes back to school - if he does his rights are extended. Having said that if he doesn't sign this off season, he's most likely gonzo.

Looks like Sokolov deserves a shot at the lineup - he's having an exceptional start for the Roadrunners

I'm like who? 2020 draft...wasn't that the abomination draft? Would be crazy if we acquired a productive player from that draft class.

 

[Dr VinnyBoombatz]

Updated

Roadrunners are one of the lowest scoring teams in AHL, mirroring the big club in their ability to not put it in the back of the net

again, have always been worried about Potvin

 

[FromChaos22]

But is taking a big step

 

[Dr VinnyBoombatz]

But is taking a big step

and still less than 12 min TOI per game

 

[Forsbergaura21]

Not to diss But, but (get it?!) what about Moroz?

He is 1 point behind But and that’s really impressive for a 3rd round pick I think. Am I the only one who feels he may be a hidden gem ?

 

[lanky]

Moroz is an exciting pick for sure, but not nearly on But's level.

One is 19 y.o. getting 12:15 TOI.
The other is 21 y.o. getting 15:23 TOI.

 

[Schemp]

Stat wise, Lavoie looks like he's improved his game. I don't watch juniors, so I have no idea about the rest of his game? As long as we are talking finding "gems" in the 3rd round! Can anybody update?

 

[Dr VinnyBoombatz]

yeah, I don't watch the "Q" so I have no idea
