Prospect Info: #70 - Carter Mazur (LW)

[Gniwder]

He has Guentzal potential. He's just a kid who gets it. Hockey sense is off the charts.

Have you looked at Guentzal's AHL stats? He spent 3 years in college, not 2 like Carter but 48 pts in 42 games before he got called up.

 

[Run the Jewels]

For reference, Bert was over a PPG player in his +1 season and put up 43 goals and 98 points in his +2 season in the CHL. He is the exception with our NA prospects, not the rule.

If you extrapolated Nate's +1 season as if he played the entire season in Portland, he'd put up 93 points. It's great to see the offense come along.

Kind of at same phase on his AHL career now, as 21-year old Guentzel at his 1st AHL season. Mazur is 21y now.

If next season for Mazur is AHL-->NHL breakout season, their careers are identical with raising levels.

Why do you use Guentzel as a measuring stick? That guy never played with someone worse than Crosby or Malkin. No clue how good he actually is.

Mazur just reminds me of Guenztel. A good fiesty little player who is a better goalscorer than he was expected to be.

Not saying Carter's ever going to score 40. But's he's going to be a very good player.

Non-Wings fan here in peace: Hope Mazur gets a chance very soon.

Additionally, how big are the Wings in Jackson? Jackson always strikes me as a football/baseball type town, so unsure how big the hockey following is there and in Southern Michigan in general.

Looking back at the reactions to this pick is funny

How long is Mazur out? Assuming it's a concussion he's dealing with

THIS is the guy I'm excited to see come up and reunite with Berggren and Kasper. That line is going to be an absolute unit of a 3rd line. Get healthy!

Kasper our second best center now. Better let him play with Kane

Trying to keep this thread toward the top to get some info. Somebody said they saw a tweet that he'd still be out a while or something? Who actually tweeted that out?

 

[lilidk]

Most likely we are not going to see him with Wings this season

Bob Kaiser on the radio has noted multiple times that Mazur isn't close to returning and will be out a while

If I'm allowed to speculate on injury(?), I'd guess it's something like a broken jaw based on the hit he took

ugh, a broken jaw would be awful. Means he's likely losing a lot of weight on top of not playing.

 

[sepster]

I know people are really high on Mazur, but for me, he's in the "prove it" camp. It's not that I don't like his game or what he has shown up to this point, he seems to be a gamer. My hesitation comes from wondering if he will be able to play his game, bring those qualities, and produce at his size at the NHL level? My fear is that he ends up somewhere between a Mitch Callahan (AHL gamer) and a Drew Miller (under-sized NHL plug).

I was thinking concussion symptoms due to the lack of info and timeline.
