Prospect Info: 2024 7th OA : Carter Yakemchuk (RHD)

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

The fact that he keeps getting points in situations that lead to them winning…. Must be a good thing?

Gotta believe they’re seriously thinking about keeping him at this point.

Kleven and Yakemchuk, essentially, play different positions. They’re not competing with each other. JBD, Hamonic, Yakemchuk and Addison are competing with one another.

Kleven is locked in at LD because we have no one else right now.

I think you are in for a surprise then.

I think you are in for a surprise then.

I’ll happily bet 1,000,000 imaginary dollars that no combination of Yakemchuk, JBD or Hamonic will play on their off side this year.

We tried it with Chychryn. No good.

Staios in an interview recently said that some guys can do it, but most can’t. And he played 1000 games at the position.

When this kid fills out, watch out. Has proved that his ceiling is even higher than previously thought, and he is much closer to reaching it than expected.

He already looks huge compared to other NHLers but obviously doesn't quite have his man strength yet.

Despite picking up 2 pts I thought he could have looked better at times. He's very efficient in his movements but I continue to think he really has to work on his skating if he wants to be a superstar in this league.

Yeah this dude f***s.

 

[Sun God Nika]

its at the point now where its a bad look not to reward him with at least 1 regular season game. Still don't support him being here for the season.

9 games has to be a foregone conclusion at this point.

he has flat out been the best player in the pre season.
