Blues 2024-2025 Prospect Thread

[STL fan in MN]

This is good news IMO. No offense to St. Cloud State but they’re a 2nd tier program. I’ll be interested to see where he goes. Ralph is from the twin cities area but not sure Minnesota is the place to go right now. They just lost Snuggy, Rinzel, Moore and Wood. And wouldn’t be surprised if they lose more guys too. Their incoming freshman class isn’t exactly full of big names either:

Gopher Recruits • Gopher Puck Live

Signed Recruits These are the recruits that have signed their National Letter of Intent (NLI). This does not necessarily mean they will be playing next season on the team. They could delay their enrollment if they wish. Matthew Grimes Position: Defense Size: 6'1" 185lbs Birth Year: 2007 Shoots...

Feel like Gophers have done nice job developing defensemen lately. Faber, Lacombe, Rinzel all really blossomed there.

 

[Carolina Blues]

Dvo has a good shot, Holloway has a good shot, Bolduc has a really good shot, but Snuggs shot is elite. I cant imagine having 4 guys that shoot like that on the roster. And that’s not counting Kyrou and Thomas. I’m still undecided on Neighbors shot.

Neighbors had an acceptable shot... What I like most about him is his willingness to go to the net and pick up loose change

 

[Beauterham]

If he won't sign with Edmonton, then Maatta doesn't have much value either.

True.

If we're talking Edmonton: Dalyn Wakely and Matt Copponi are also options, although I'm not really certain their rights expire at the end of the season (sigh... I miss Capfriendly), but Wakely is an overager in the OHL and Copponi played his 4th NCAA season.

I kinda expect EDM to sign Copponi as soon as BU is out of the Frozen Four. If Edmonton wanted to sign Wakely however, they probably would've signed him to an ELC already a while ago. I guess he's an interesting option if they're interested in signing Mayich.

I’ve been really impressed with Bolduc’s shot. Every one is an absolute missile, and he’s better able to get it off in traffic than I expected.

And I like that he hits the net a lot. Still has some misses but seems very accurate.

Agreed. Neighbours’ shot itself isn’t really anything better than NHL average but he’s got an absolute nose for the net. His puck luck isn’t as high this season as last but he knows where to go to score a lot of goals within 3-5 feet of the net.

Ralph is probably going to a big time program. Minnesota after all their losses?

Michigan State is a school to watch too. Would be a great spot, Nightengale is a great coach

 

[LGB]

This guy is a good follow for Blues prospect information. I’d expect Lindstein will be in the AHL next year. Brynas is a good team, but seems crazy for Lindstein to still be getting this treatment.

 

[TheOrganist]

Ya, I’m sure he learned some things in the SEL but they need to get him over to NA ASAP.

 

[Spektre]

Snuggerud goes with #21. Instantly thought of Berglund despite Bozak wearing the number more recently.

I think of Jeff Brown

Lindstein's time on ice is alarming. His team played him for 7:59 in one game and then 6:53 (combined) over the next three...His swedish team clearly has no plans to develop him, and for that reason, he should be playing in the AHL next year.

I'd like some context on that. Was he sick? Battling injury? That doesn't seem in keeping with how he had been used much of the year.
