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

Wes Clark is one of the very best player personnel and scouting heads there is in the NHL. He will definitely help. Just hope he has a top eight pick this draft. Gotta start accruing cornerstones for the future.

A real shame Jarry has to screw us in both directions!
 
Murashov has played nine games in the AHL. He's done very well to adapt in his first season out of Russia and he has a lot of promise.

But let's tap the brakes on expectations for him. He still has much to prove.

I think the Murashov talk is less about Murashov being a sure thing, and more about this prospect pool still being pretty lackluster with nobody in the ranks really jumping way out ahead of the pack when it comes to talking rankings imo.

I am not sure when I reach the point where I no longer care about his rebound control, but it's somewhere in the not-so-distant future. What was it ol' GW said? "Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice...... can't fool me again."

I don't say that because I dislike Murashov, it's more that goalies are voodoo and Murashov has only played in 16 games in his career between the AHL and KHL.

I'm just waiting for a larger sample size on Murashov. Blomqvist played in 45 games in the AHL last year with the same .921 save% that Murashov has between the ECHL and AHL this year, but Blomqvist has generally struggled this year relative to the other goalies in the organization.

I didn't take it as disrespectful at all. @Big Friggin Dummy said it best above, it's hard to parse apart the skill level he has with the overall putridity of the pipeline. Any diamond in the rough is gonna get a little bit of the hype treatment. Trying to keep my hype in check, but he is legitimately one of the fastest netminders I've ever seen at these levels of play. It's wild to see him thrive amid chaos. For now, I think we should all sit back and enjoy. Hopefully he grabs the net for the playoffs and we get a really nice run of games to judge.

Yeah that's a legit point too, I remember that Tankov was hyped up at one point due to him putting up very good VHL numbers at a young age.

It’s probably worth putting more weight behind his age in all of this. He is only 20 years old at the moment, and also has an entire body of excellent junior play to evaluate from. Meanwhile, the upcoming draft picks and other highly rated prospects will only have junior hockey play to assess their ranking.
