Prospect Info: Caps Prospects General Discussion Thread - 2024-25

Leonard with a goal so far.

 

[Lou Sassole]

Added an assist on Perreault's 2nd goal.

Go Lenny.

Interesting with GMCP saying they purposely left Cap space for Leonard to come in. Would indicate that they have talked to him and he plans to come at end of season. At least I hope that is what happened.

Hutson is back in the lineup after missing shifts at the end of the game last night. Not surprising, but it's still good to see.

Pretty sure He and Perreault are both turning pro. That was always the plan, and I saw on the empty netters podcast that one of them let slip that Perreault is definitely turning pro; then tried to walk it back. So I'd assume they both go pro, if he doesn't turn Pro, then it's a big problem. Why wouldn't he want to join a top team, playing with an all time great.

Which episode?

 

[Cush]

Hutson on the board

 

[strungout]

44 is such a great d man number. Hope he keeps that.

 

[Langway]

A three assist night puts Thomas over the 100 point mark. Just nine CHLers have eclipsed 100 points so far. Two have yet to be drafted (McKenna & Misa). Three of the other seven are Caps draft picks.

 

[wickedwitch]

Hutson is currently tied for the NCAA lead in scoring by defensemen.

 

[Cush]

nice little redirect by Hutson

 

[Lou Sassole]

Which episode?

Go to the 40 minute mark of this episode, they talk about Leonard and Perreault, and he sure sounds like he knows Perreault is a done deal.

 

[Corby78]

So we have the ncaa leader in goals, and the ncaa defense leader in points???

I’m ok with that

Wondering if Leonard has a shot….

 

[Langway]

I think it's been trending to either be Leonard or Howard for the Hobey. Leonard leading the nation in goals by six now should put him in the lead for the time being. We'll see.

What a g-d-awful website. Also, is Cole Knuble Mike’s kid? Anyone know?

Yes, was drafted by the Flyers in '23.

Agreed. My son wore 44 playing ACHA hockey. Great number!

Chase Clark and AIC's season is over, having lost games 2 and 3 (in OT) against top seeded Holy Cross in the Atlantic Hockey America conference tournament. Clark started all 3 games, all ended up as 1 goal games with a total goal differential of 9-8 for Holy Cross. In total, Clark made 95 saves on 104 SOG for a save percentage of .913. Holy Cross is #20 in the nation, so generally a good showing by AIC considering the matchup.

Maybe Clark will take the extra time to find a fourth college for his fourth year.

In the Big Ten tournament, 7 seed Notre Dame pulled off a pretty big upset over 2 seed Minnesota, winning their best of 3 series. Given that Minnesota is #3 in the nation, it was a big win. Nicholas Kempf didn't play at all in the series. Ryan Chesley had an assist in Minnesota's game 2 win, but now gets to focus on schoolwork and practice while waiting for the full NCAA tournament field of 16 to be announced on the 23rd. They're a shoo-in.

Notre Dame now gets the privilege of playing #2 in the nation Michigan State and David Gucciardi in the single elimination conference semi-final game next Saturday the 15th.

Also in the Big Ten tourney, Ohio State (3 seed) completed the series win over Wisconsin (6 seed), 2 games to 1. Brent Johnson's goal in the opener was his only point of the series. The Buckeyes will go on the play 5th seed Penn State, who "swept" Michigan in 2 games, in their own single elimination semi-final game on the 15th.

I have no intention of continuing these updates next weekend. Lots of us will be paying attention to NCAA hockey with BC (Leonard) BU (Hutson) and, most eagerly, Northeastern (Lemay) playing.

Hutson turning into a steal of the 2024 draft.

 

[DWGie26]

Caps are going to have a tough decision here shortly. Hutson could be ready now. Maybe another year. But Sandin or Fever is going to have to go if we get him in the mix. This assuming we resign Chychrun which i believe we will do.

I'm in the minority. I do NOT think Hutson is ready now. I think he needs a year of AHL. Evidence...none of the highlights you guys are posting show any defense. Hope I'm wrong.
