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

They aren’t wrong. Best players have to be your best players. Hasn’t been Leonard so far. But that can change in an instant!
 
that is a tough out for Leonard. Denver shut him down, frustrated him. Leonard is going to have to learn to fight through that if he is going to play that sandpaper style. He can learn that in the NHL though. :-)

Denver honestly did well on the whole team in the defensive zone, even as BC piled up shots. There was lots of shots on goal, but not a lot of quality, they seemed fine with giving up shots from the outside and bad angles. Very well coached team, there’s a reason they win a lot.

Yeah, there's a huge difference in the quality of the coaches. B.C. made 0 adjustments.

Leonard's handles in transition still need work. He seems to fumble it an awful lot without much apparent reason. It doesn't bode massively well as-is in terms of being a great transition player at the moment. He'll also need to keep his emotions in check and not get generally distracted by scrums and the-game-within-the-game.

Nine games remaining. The chance to perhaps be around for 895, this season if not next. Home ice playoffs. Get in, fella.

Yep. Coaching is so important, just continuing to throw your best players on the ice with no adjustments can only take you so far. If it was that easy Edmonton would have probably won a cup by now.

So now we’re all in rooting for BU for Cole?

I think it’ll be good for him to be in a place where he doesn’t have to be “the man” for a bit

Announcers were talking about Denver coach getting some NHL looks. Seems like he fits that Carberry mold a bit. All business. Details. But knows how to communicate with the players.

And yes, Go BU! Like to see Cole get the natty now.

Absolutely. They also should set expectations pretty low on the fly. PP2 time? I don't know. Maybe not off the bat...even if their PP2 decisions are already pretty absurd. He's in for a huge learning experience that's for sure.

Cristall took a cross-checking major with 3:45 left in a 6-4 game and got the boot. But Spokane only allowed one, got an ENG and held on 7-5.
