2024-25 Prospects Thread: As We Wait For Alexander

[DaveG]

Wow, first Rantanen refuses to sign, then Lucas Mercuri? The hits just keep coming

LOL

and what's this now?

 

[CandyCanes]

did we lose a general prospect thread or did we not have one for this year?
just wondering what people think of some of the swede prospects, seems like I hear they're doing alright a bit after they're drafted then I never hear about them ever again

Wouldn’t mind a prospect thread brought back to life

 

[Nikishin al Gaib]

Speaking of bottom 6 possibilities:

Genuinely don't remember anything about him

 

[bleedgreen]

So, speaking of questioning where we really are with Chicago….whats up with Gleb? He played 20 games in 2024 and had I think 2pts, then disappeared and I think there was talk of injury. I just checked and he’s getting credit for two games in late Feb early March with zero pts and again hasn’t played since.

He’s obviously not contributing much but do we have any idea about injury here?

FUS is officially being outscored by some dude named Skylar, also back to my original point. I know he’s still very young.

One of the things I am not a fan of is this NCAA loophole. It seems like teams aren’t as well and I wonder if this is one of the few contentious items in CBA talks…. Seems counter and unbalanced compared to other developmental paths that players drafted going to university and immediately becoming UFAs if they don’t like the team that drafted them for some reason just by holding out from turning pro and staying in school…

Obviously the player has to be good enough to call their shot and catch on somewhere else, and give up 3-4 years of development instead of making the show faster….

But this is a situation where Mecuri really could have made it and been an nhler with us potentially as soon as next season. He looked like he could be a good fit for us watching his games at UMass while also watching Morrow. Good at faceoffs, could be a good PKer…. Not a huge scorer but could chip in a few with how we play and decent linemates…

Ugh.. sucks…

I just saw a tweet the other day that Gleb has been shut down for the season due to injury.

Mercuri is a good bottom-6 prospect, but again, the best opportunity for guys like him are usually teams with bottom-tier prospect pools, like Tampa, for example.

not exactly prospects related, more former farm-hands related...

was checking some ahl stats, and our boy andrew poturalski is leading the league in scoring.

even better? number three is honest to god no sarcasm ahl legend chris terry. with 12 more points, he'll be top ten all time in ahl scoring. given he's still a top scorer, i'm guessing he won't hang 'em up any time soon, so good for him.

Thread 'They Were Canes Once . . . and Young (well, some of them)'

Seems like it would be nice to have a place that consolidates news about ex Canes.

Petr Mrazek gives up 4 goals on Kracken's first 5 shots. [Krack then score on the next 2 shots on backup Stalock, total 6 goals on 7 shots]

We've got a thread specifically for that. I find most things posted like the above interesting only because they are former Canes, not as stuff that's posted "around the NHL", or "AHL talk", etc.

 

[To Be Determined]

Thanks - that thread is awesome but i didn't think of it.

 

[CandyCanes]

That’s disappointing

 

[chaz4hockey]

More bad news: Nikishin’s LBI will keep him out of at least first two of SKA’s road games.

Or is that good news. They likely lose the series if he can't play.

Get healthy kid....just not too quickly.

 

[HydratedByStormBrew]

That’s disappointing

Why would they do that?

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

The way they've played this year, they lose the series even if he can play and we loan them Aho and Slavin.

Although now that I say that they'll probably go on to win the Gagarin Cup. But yeah hoping for Nikishin to be like a week or 2 away and miss SKA's last 4 games of the season and come right on over here ready to go.

GOOD.

We traded Mercuri for a 6th. The 6th could even turn out to be a Lucas Mercuri!

SKA up 3-1 late in the 2nd. 2nd period Goals by Kuzy & Nikishin (late in the 2nd made it 3-1) driving home the advantage

Boo! Boo I say!

[TheBigLetowski]

Know very little about this kid. Hearing lots of pure skill. Sounds like he will playing with MTL's solid prospect, Michael Hage.

Just read - 5'9 x 175lbs. Prototypical Canes draft pick. haha

 

[DaveG]

so the P2 swinging their NIL big dick starts to hit NCAA puck, interesting.

 

[spockBokk]

With Badinka and Nystrom’s seasons over, I wonder if they come up over for some AHL games. Also, I wonder if they sign a Russian forward or 2 soon, thinking maybe Yaravoi (sp) or Rhykov

This surprises me, because if any program would have a lot of NIL available and would prioritize allocating their NIL to ice hockey over football or basketball, it would be North Dakota.

Probably UMass too right?
