2024-25 Prospect Thread

One thing I will say about Calum Ritchie is whether he excels or not - he is an asset that can be developed or flipped to further the retool.

I like Cal’s game. The puck looks like a magnet on him. His stick skill look elite. I’m glad we have a top-20 prospect and a 1st rounder to add to Eisy.

Something else his presence makes me think of:
Like with the Romanov deal a few years ago, it's always a possibility that Lou would move a 1st rounder, even one in the top 10, to get a young, controllable NHL player (forward) who can jump right into the line-up. BUT if he sees Ritchie as being pretty doggone close, knowing that each of Nelson, Finley, and Eiserman will need to be brought in with perspective fairly soon as well, he may be more inclined to let his staff make the pick.

Of course, any trading of Dobson would presumably be to bring in such a young forward as well.

So, there's that...
 
Been listening to a lot of opinions on Hagens, where he should go and the judgement of how he looks as a freshman vs Celebrini. In looking at this, and checking his numbers where he played with Eiserman the previous two years, I couldn’t help but wonder if we legit got a steal in Eiserman. Again I try not to get high but his goal output as a freshman is actually nuts.

I also think I’d keep Hagens in the top three. I think Shaffer is a little overrated purely because I’m watching judgements on Hagens and how he finished the year and the world juniors but meanwhile Shaffer has been hurt and as a result is escaping criticism.

I’m also not a big fan of Martone. If we win the lottery and pick third I’d take any of Shaffer, Misa or Hagens. I’d also rather have Eklund. Edit, not Eklund, the other Swede. Also this post should be in the 25 draft thread, my bad.
 
I’m hoping we see Eiserman on the team at the end of his college season next year similar to Leonard and Perreault.
We probably should since he most likely won’t be going back to college. I just hope we don’t play him enough games that it’ll burn a year off his contract
