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

[Lou Sassole]

2 years?

Carlson lasted half a season.

Carlson wasn't 5-11 and 165 pounds. Positive note is Hutson looked comfortable on the right side too. I love the kid as a prospect, I just don't get the rush.

He's around 175 now. Started the season at BU weighing in at 171 and has worked on adding weight. Wouldn't be surprised to see him nearing 180 by start of the next season. I'm not worried about his size, just additional time for pure developmental purposes. He should spend another year in the NCAA but not because he isn't big enough. Here's three of the most dynamic offensive D in the NHL. The game has changed, we can't hyper focus on size anymore.

Makar: 5'11 183
Hughes: 5'10 181
L. Hutson: 5'9 162

If Cole says he wants to sign a pro deal, then Caps do it and let his play dictate from there. But i don’t think Cole will force a contract. And Caps will likely encourage Cole to go back to BU for a second year. The two year NCAA development plan is good.

And this plays back into my opinion that the caps should resign Alexeyev for two years. Maybe 1.2M to 1.5M. When Cole comes out you likely trade Sandin or Fever and if Cole can’t take down a top 6 Alexeyev is there.

I have zero idea who is who there. Like at all. f*** BU

(But I did notice the lady in the boots, on the left )

Ravensbergen isn't looking too hot right now. Still feel that they'll take him if he's there

Caps should try to sign Quinn. Just for the bloodlines / hell of it / to make Cole more comfortable when he comes out.

i mean, signing Quinn Hutson (23+27 in 36gp, NCAA) and John Leonard (30+23 in 63gp, AHL) for next year plus maybe having Matt Strome and Ilya Protas in Hershey would be some serious 3D-chess and probably bring a lot of synergy into the organization!

Those Hutson brothers are pretty pretty good

Obviously, Lane Hutson was NHL-ready, but it's fun to imagine the three of them together at BU. Considering what I pay for a season ticket($429), it would have been the best value in history.

The longer this goes the more likely I think Chesley doesn’t sign. An ELC for a player of his stature is not complicated.

And all other gophers have signed that were drafted.

I'd say give it until end of next week before worrying, could be a lot of unknowns. After that, than I agree it sounds like he doesn't want to come here.

I hope Leonard scores 4 goals and they lose 5-4. Want to see him in a Caps uniform yesterday.

 

[Marshall]

The Lenny Show is on.

 

[Calicaps]

Gasseau has made at least three poor decisions in this game already.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

I want Lenny to win and I want Lenny to lose selfishly…tough call.

 

[Calicaps]

Buccigross is unlistenable. UGH

 

[Cush]

Denver up 1-0

 

[Misery74]

Go Denver! Woo hoo.

 

[Liam Smith]

Leonard got absolutely leveled in the corner prior to that Denver goal.

 

[Calicaps]

The other regional is a hell of a game

 

[Calicaps]

So BU gets the Nitney Lions

 

[Nice]

BC D giving up a lot

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

BC too aggressive

 

[twabby]

Ryan Leonard... ... ...come to Butt-Head
