Prospect Info: Blues 2024-2025 Prospect Thread

That is Burns' Kingston team they blew out today. Kingston is actually ahead of Brantford in standings. Unfortunately Burns got a major and was ejected in the game's first few minutes.

Therefore, Burns is the MVP of Kingston lol. Without him they got lit up like a Christmas tree.

Funny, but he may actually be. He is their #1 defenseman from what I gather.

Yeah, certainly some truth in what I said. A game report i read basically said the same thing as he handles their top defensive minutes.

Like if Parayko gets ejected on his first shift, it's going to be a long night for all of us.

That’s been true since last year. The announcer made a similar comment in last nights game. It’s like Burns is on the ice all the time. The other replied if he was on our team I would want him on the ice all the time.

Look I know it's two plays, but I look at this kid and see a star. If he can stay healthy, I think we look back on Jiricek as one of our best recent draft picks.

Not unfortunate for his +/- looks like

Well he scored both goals up by 5 goals. I wouldn’t get too carried away. He was outshined by his partner in the games I watched. Owen Protz is a pretty impressive prospect for Montreal. Do I see a top 4? Yes, but I would like to see him more engaged.

He's got a lot to work on, no doubt. I think he's got that undefinable "it" factor though. I can't throw any numbers around to support that, it's just what I see in how he plays. He's got swagger.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Yeah, when you watch him you can tell why he had the hype and potential leading into the 24 draft. Big thing for him is staying healthy and keeping development on track, and we'll see what kind of player he can be.

He missed a lot of development time. His D partner who has played 66 games last year and 30 this year should look better than a guy who missed most of last year and only played 6 games this year.

It's not about who looks better now, but how AJ looks in 3 or 4 to 10 years.

Great to see! Hopefully he can stay healthy for the rest of the year.

The Blues haven't had a D-man who can drive to the net like Jiricek does in a long time. Well, prior to getting Broberg anyway and Parayko doing it once in awhile. I could see Jiricek developing into a similar player as Broberg.

 

[LGB]

Highlights from this weekend.

 

[Mike Liut]

Really pulling for Juricek. The kid could be a good one.

 

[LogosBlue]

Highlights from this weekend.

Love the skating ability and not afraid to shoot the puck either

 

[Celtic Note]

Highlights from this weekend.

Some really aggressive moves off the blue line on both ends

 

[TK 421]

jIRicek now begins his quest to become Jiricek, we're all pulling for you kid go get 'em.

 

[StLewis11]

Watching that, I can now see why we drafted Jiricek; he certainly seems to have skills

 

[BleedBlue14]

He's got a lot to work on, no doubt. I think he's got that undefinable "it" factor though. I can't throw any numbers around to support that, it's just what I see in how he plays. He's got swagger.

He looks really wiry, athletic and assertive in his play. Makes things look easy because of it. I think that’s the it factor you’re talking about.

I have no question there will be some headaches if he keeps up his style, but it could be really dominating. Really looking forward to watching him at the WJC. Feel like alot of us will have close eyes on Czech, Sweden and Slovakia this year for good reason.

What’s our prospect count at the tournament right now 7?

Jircek
Kos
Stancl
Jecho
Dvorsky
Lindstein
Stenburg

Am I missing anyone?
