Meanwhile, little Pro is 3rd in the OHL in goals.... And he's played fewer games than either of the players ahead of him.

Just noticed Protas has been playing center for Windsor as well. Super intriguing player.

And 8th in the league in points.

Watched the second half of the BC game. Leonard had one 10 bell chance but Jellvik elevated that pass for no reason and then later in the shift setup Stiga with a great pass. The goal gods and Jellvik are not fans of Leonard atm.

Cristall with a goal and assist so far tonight.

How has Chesley looked? Did he look more poised on defense this year?

I have seen him play yet, but i did just get FloHockey so i can catch some games. But he has 2 goals and an assist in 4 games. Last year he had 2 goals and 6 assists. Freshman year he had 2 goals and 8 assists. So he is look good out of the gates (on stat sheet).

I hope so. Longer it goes on the more nervous i get. Especially after seeing the Priskie path. There is a third right Dee spot and I think he can overtake Iorio but he needs to get to pros. I just wonder if that is what he wants to do.

If he stays a 4th year I worry about if he will sign with us. At that point two-year entry level deal.

Sportsnet's 2025 NHL Draft Prospect Rankings: October Edition

The scouting season for next year's draft class has a long way to go, but is well underway halfway into October. So, Sam Cosentino presents his first ranking of the top 32 prospects, and wonders if James Hagens can go wire-to-wire atop the list.

Schmidt off to a torrid start over a goal per game. Plays in the WHL. Remember the name. Smaller than they tend to like and a RW so maybe not altogether ideal...

Smith and Ravensbergen remain my main fit targets (both out of the Dub as well). But among forwards in the mid-to-late range Gastrin checks off a lot of boxes as a versatile, smart two-way type.

There's always a risk that college players will not sign, but there's a path to the NHL if Chesley is earns it with Carlson (34) and TvR (33) both getting up there in age (and McIlrath is 32).

Separately, Chesley has consistently attended development camps which I take as a good omen that he will sign. Would be nice to get him in Hershey next year.

I worry that our lack of contract slots will prevent us from signing him in the spring.

Devil's advocate - Priskie also attended the first three Dev Camps after the Caps drafted him

Priskie would be the perfect person to talk to him about how leaving the organization didn’t help his career in the long run. Priskie is very happy to be back in the Caps organization now, even if he is just an AHL player
