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...

 

[SEALBound]

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

 

[WickedWrister]

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

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

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.

 

[PensFutures]

Sorry its displaying my old name for now, will change it back to PensFutures as soon as it lets me...but anyway the Nailers finally ended the drought. After being shutout the last 2 games, DSP scored early in the 1st.

Fort Wayne has controlled most of the game, but Gauthier is playing well, stopped 21 of 22. Currently 1-1 halfway through the 2nd. Will be posting some Gauthier highlights after the game.

Edit: here is Kyle Jacksons PPG to make it 3-1

 

[PensFutures]

Nailers win 3-1, heck of a game by Gauthier stopping 33 of 34. Highlights below.

Hampton Slukynsky is a real goalie name if I've ever heard one.

 

[PensFutures]

Nailers up 3-1 so far. Jaxon Castor had to stop a couple breakaways, did my best to get them. Martel, Quercia, L. Pietila with the goals.

 

[PensFutures]

Nailers take a penalty, then take another 2 seconds later..huge kill to stay up 3-1 after 2.

Half preppy WASP half Appalachian Polish coal miner.

Just the way we like 'em!

 

[PensFutures]

Caught this save last night when the game was 3-2. Thought it was gonna be a game saving stop, but Ft Wayne ended up scoring 2 quick goals right after and winning..

 

[Gurglesons]

When Zam the man comes in blazing next season in the A, don’t be shocked.

Fernstrom's season is done

 

[HandshakeLine]

thanks Melvin.

 

[Andy99]

Maybe Melvin can join WBS for Calder Cup playoffs…that’d be awesome

Also, if we’re re-voting our prospect list, who doesn’t vote Murashov #1 atm?

Goalies are voodoo. I want to see more from him in the AHL before getting my hopes too high.

Yeah. I'm rooting hard for him, but there's a lot of goalies that look great when they're new in the league and wash out a year or two later once people get the read on them.
