Prospect Info: 2024-25 Ducks Prospects

Didn’t he get 3 suspensions this year? Hell prob play a bit on the edge
Something like that yeah, at least a few ejections happened. I find it interesting that the Generals fanbase sounds like the Ducks, they talking about all the no calls against the other team and that for once their guy didn't get called for one(the Sennecke vs Aitcheson one).

I still remember the Perry ejection in the winter classic game that Dallas was in, he got ejected and the cameras followed him all the way out lol. Totally perry getting himself kicked out of the winter classic.
 
@WhatTheDuck, thoughts on Filip Ekberg? Saw he broke the Swedish scoring record at the U18s.

Really skilled and smart offensive player. His OHL numbers don't really show it, but it was his first year in NA, apparently dealt with some serious illness for quite awhile upon arrival, and had to play for an idiot coach. Clearly has found his swagger again with his showing in this tournament.

However, he's one of those guys who will have to prove he can create separation against higher level opponents. He's undersized, not overly fast/explosive, nor is there much of a physical side. Pretty much have to bank on his brain/skill being able to carry him, or hope he'll add a more dynamic quality to the skating. So pretty much a "top six offensive producer or bust" type guy, as it's hard to picture him bringing much else to an NHL lineup. Not that he's a defensively liability, just doesn't have the physical toolkit of a typical grinder.

I would guess that this tournament has bumped him up from possible/probable draft pick into more of a mid round status. This draft lacks quality depth enough that maybe someone falls in love enough to take him in the second.
 


Will probably have my focus on these games with whichever NHL game on at the same time in the background.

Looks like will only be available to watch through TSN related means - officially
