Prospect Info: '24-'25 Prospects Thread: Generation Z

[Randy Butternubs]

Wonder if we plan on signing Graham. Seems like a waste to have included him in the deal otherwise. He’s not very productive by NHL prospect standards but he does fight often, maybe they’re looking to develop some 4th line guys of our own. Like Reaves, but better at actual hockey.

Definitely would not mind developing some of our own 4th liners as opposed to spending $2m on them...

We will. I don't anticipate Poulin being much of anything but he's a guy that could easily go on the 4th line for a couple of years.

lol…he’s 24 already but I don’t think Sullivan would even play him on L4 until he’s at minimum age 28 with at least 100 AHL games where he PKs for at least 2 min per night

I have hopes that Pickering might produce at a 30point level but if Laatsch makes it then I'm guessing Gill / Scuderi levels of production.

It's not a good sign. There are like 3 guys total in the modern NHL that didn't produce that have become quality NHLers. It's about as good a sign that you won't make it as there is for D-men. Like you say, even someone like Dumoulin was productive at every level even though he is all defense at the NHL level. Laatsch is less productive than Scuderi was at the same level, and Scuds played in the dead puck era.

Gauthier real unlucky in his last 4 starts. 965 sv % but no wins.

Poulin is good in AHL but blows in NHL IMO

Am curious too. Wonder if he gets AHL deal

Pieniniemi and Finn Harding 6th and 7th in scoring among defensemen in the OHL

Chris Ortiz leaving really hurt, as he was a huge play driver from the back end. Hopefully Jack Beck is off IR soon, would let them run 2 strong scoring lines again with DSP and Klassen coming back from Wilkes.
