Pittsburgh Penguins - In the System - Elite Prospects

Statistical overview of all Pittsburgh Penguins prospects.

www.eliteprospects.com

Why work harder?

Yea that works too haha. I knew of that website but never had it grouped that way. Saving that one to the favorites.

Would have been nice to know that existed years ago lol. I might have been checking each prospect manually until this point

This is awesome; it not only lists the prospects, it also has a quick view of their scoring and save stats.

Definitely bookmarked.

Bench-press Björkqvist 1 point in 9 games. Somewhere Guerin shakes his head in dishonor

Kasper Bjorkqvist - 9GP, 1A.

Adam Fox went 5 slots later. Just in case you needed your morning ruined.

I think EP is missing a HUUUUUUGE opportunity to fill the vacuum left by CapFriendly. They have the information and clearly they have competent developers. Adding a CF interface should not be hard. Their premium services relative to cost and value is a joke but I'd gladly pay if it basically included CF.

Flames passed on him 3 times before drafting him. Pretty sure no one thought he was a Norris caliber prospect. It’s really a crapshoot and they had a ton of picks in the first three rounds.

Saw Yager had 5 points in 2 games. I hope Groats does well or this board will be unbearable.

Yager is a better scorer…so doing “well” to me means points…if he’s not finishing or at least generating points, then I don’t care…I’m not happy he’s starting on L3 unless Sullivan is going to use his bottom six differently…so I definitely will withhold judgment unless and until he’s playing in the top six, and if he never gets there, the trade was a failure imo

It will be insufferable anyway.

5pts in 2gp, but he's also 19 and in his 5th WHL season.

Yager was a good prospect. You have to give to get.

i mean. seeing last years production for Yager, he should be scoring around almost 2 ppg

you can lose a trade and it still not be a failure.

Just for fun I looked up who holds the record for WHL points in a season....Rob Brown. 212 points in 63 games in 1986.

Yager, if he made the team, would also be on the third line imo.

Neither of these two guys are building block prospects. They're depth/supporting cast players.

They seriously dated?

[Ryder71]

Oh yes! If I remember correctly they broke up because he was here in PIT and she was in LA and they didn't see each other much. But it was largely circumstantial as to why it ended. I believe they dated a few months.

Met him at a hardees in monroeville in '89, really nice guy. Had 49 goals and 115 points that season playing with Mario.

I think Robbie dodged a bullet there.

I want to know what altruistic sacrifice Robbie Brown did in his previous life that he had got to get play next to Mario and date prime Alyssa Milano.

Word.

Is this for any prospects? Pieninieni 1+2 and first star. Of his points I thought this was the best one:

https://x.com/i/web/status/1844911515352301706

Goal was a wrister with some traffic.

 

[Jacob]

https://x.com/i/web/status/1844885130449649908

1st star too.

 

[Malkinstheman]

All the OHL guys are having really good starts. Foster, Pienienni and recent 7th rounder Harding are all PPG.

Looks like Ilyin has slowed down quite a bit. I believe he had 7 points in the first 10 games but hasnt recorded a point in the last 5

 

[Randy Butternubs]

@Zirakzigil could you remove the "baby Pens" from the thread title? That's what WBS is called.

Sweet pass, bing bing in the back of the net!!

15 year old Alyssa.

Did not know/realize this. He was 21 and she was 15.


I did not realize Beau Jelsma was going back to Juniors:

Colts’ Jelsma out with shoulder injury until November

Beau Jelsma is expected to miss from four to eight weeks after suffering a shoulder injury in a scrimmage game last weekend.

cc @Jacob as I think they were asking about him.

Oh Jesus. That changes my perspective.

 

[Factorial]

Oh Jesus. That changes my perspective.

Things got a little awkward in December 1988, though. Robbie and Alyssa were dating and totally in love. Dec. 19 was her 16th birthday party and she was actually in town with her family. Robbie gives me a call.

“Hey Bourquey, would you and your girlfriend mind coming to Christopher’s on Mt. Washington? It’s Alyssa’s birthday party. Her dad and her brother are going to be there. I’m a little bit nervous. I don’t want to be alone there, so I’m hoping you guys wouldn’t mind coming.”

I didn’t mind, of course. But it was a little awkward. Here’s the girl who is famous at the time on “Who’s the Boss?” and she’s standing there in Christopher’s, celebrating her Sweet 16 with her boyfriend, Robbie Brown.

Times were different.

Caught a bit of Brunickes game tonight. I know this will come as a shock but his skating is awesome. He was carrying the puck up the ice very confidently and trying to create plays. It seemed like he was being sent out every other shift almost. He has 4 points in 4 games so far so the production is nice to see but his team absolutely sucks ass.

Will probably get traded at some point to a good team if that’s the case.
