2024-25 Prospect Thread

Lamoriello’s last trade was a really good one. Landing Rtchie and a 1st round pick was a great deal. My feelings with Ritchie are, at best, a 20+ goal 50+ point 2nd line center, at worst a 3rd line center. Add in his leadership abilities.

Probably best not to get our hopes up but imagine if Colorado misses the playoffs next year. lol

I am currently projecting that pick to be 20-32

I thought the pick was top 10 protected

You are correct, that being said they can still draft 11th. lol

He makes those really fast, no-think passes. He doesn't waste time telegraphing.

OT draft-related note - I see that with Martone, which is interesting in that he's a winger who plays a heavy game.

And then win the lottery again and move up to #1. I kid, I kid.

I am fairly sure the top 10 protected counts after the lottery

Imagine if they finished 9th and we get a repeat of this year were teams 10 and 14 win thus they pick 11th. lol

So pardon me if this question is a foolish one. Say Colorado winds up with the 11th overall pick and the Islanders move up via the lottery is it ours?

No. The pick is contingent upon the lottery results.

Thank you

Sounds like someone the isles could also use on the team right now. I still dunno what his best comparable is but Bednarik is pretty interesting too. Please just pan out.

Does Bednarik remind us of Casey Cizikas?

Reminds me more of Jake Evans (MON).

Definitely found it interesting that he was entrusted with so many faceoff situations late in games last year, especially those in BU's zone. Really became Pandolfo's go-to defensive center.

Cal Ritchie interview

“I was pretty surprised, but of course anything could happen at the deadline,” Ritchie said. “It was a call pretty late at night, that I was getting traded to the Islanders. At first it was a bit of a shock, but then I realized the opportunity that’s there with the Islanders.”

Eiserman and Nelson are his boys. We need this to happen somehow.

Idc about the entire draft. Just bring me Schaefer and Hagens.

Is that a pic of Darche taking Hagens out for a bite?

It’s obviously Hagens left by himself to pay the bill.

There's precedent for that . . .

Someone had responded to me previously that "his ceiling would be Phillip Danault"
