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

Windsor is up 3-1 in the series.

Parascak and PG are starting to get in tough in their series. Currently down 2-1 in both the series and in Game 4. But I'm not sure Parascak would be more than a black ace in Hershey should he be re-assigned.

Given how his season has been lately, i wouldn't be very comfortable throwing him out there against AHL D's just yet. He was out for a while after taking a bad headshot and only returned for the Playoffs.

I'd definitely bring him along like they did with Cristall year ago.

Real tough series for Ravensbergen. He has been outdueled by Ondrej Stebetak who is other draft-eligible goalie, only 17-year old. Didn't have a good regular season but again, he's just 17, projected to be a late-round pick in this draft. Shades of Samsonov for me when i watched Ravensbergen wandering behind his own net in Game 3.

Assuming OHL Coaches are correct, there's just no way Protas isn't a monster in the NHL then right? Best stickhandler best passer, second smartest and 6'5"?

Good on Protas! But what you missed is Patrick Thomas had just as awards:

* Third (tie) in hardest working (in East)
* Second in best faceoff (east)
* Third in Best Penalty Killer (East)
* Third in Best Shootout Shooter (East)

Hardworking, faceoffs, PK’er - sounds like a Dowd replacement. Sign Dowd for two more years and bring Patrick up! Let’s do it!

He's on my shortlist of guys I'd love to target with that early 2nd rounder of Bostons.

Getting close to being ok with using the first round pick.
