Prospect Info: 2024-25 Ducks Prospects

I wondered if that was the next move after ECHL. Wasn't sure if he would be cool with it.

One note is that dionicio received another unsportsmanlike conduct penalty at the end of the last game. Wonder if that was the last straw.
 
Dude apparently spat at the Marlies player. That's caveman stuff.

Dang. I was going to say, that's certainly a bit of rough-housing, but I didn't see anything suspendable there. But spitting is terrible and should be worthy of a suspension. Dionicio needs to get his act together.

I guess we're starting to find out why Hot Rod went in the 5th round, even with the skating concerns he had going into the draft there's no way a guy with his skills should go so late, hopefully he can get his head screwed on right because he's a really good player.

Spitting isn’t nice, it’s pretty disgusting (in the „icky“-sense rather than the „abhorrent“-sense) and deserves being penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct or whatever, but I always find it a bit funny when folks act like it’s way worse than e.g. a vicious slash. Unlike many other things in hockey, it’s not going to break your skin. It’s almost as close to really mean trash talk as it’s to something that can hurt you. Not to excuse it and Rod needs to cut that out, but it’s one of those things where perspective is pretty much lost.

In a vacuum, this is completely true. But when you put it in the context of hockey (or contact sports in general), guys hit each other with their sticks every game, they crunch each other into the boards, and sometimes even literally punch each other, and it's almost entirely condoned.

Spitting is a type of disrespect that's maybe not as severe as racial/homophobic slurs, but in the same vein. I don't think the comparison between those types of infractions and physical recklessness or endangerment is worth making since they're so different.
 
I stumbled upon this video about Pettersson from the Duck's reddit page. Pettersson might be a great find as he's surviving this season. He's too good for J20, not played enough at the SHL level, and already one of the best players on his HA team (Sweden men's 2nd tier). It's crazy how his team, Modo, is dicking him around.
