Prospect Info: Caps Top Prospects General Discussion Thread - 2024

[qc14]

For those who know the rules better than I: Could Cristall join the Caps in-season? (Regardless of whether or not his contract would slide.)

Just thinking it would be a fun and fitting "F U".

Not until his season in Kelowna is done. Given the WHL playoffs last year started at the very end of March and the Memorial Cup is scheduled from May 22 to June 1 ... there's almost no way he could

I believe there are provisions that allow for an emergency call-up but not sure what is involved. I’m guessing it is laborious since we never see it.

Cam Allen with 1+2 and is still leading his team in points. So does he get traded before Luchanko over takes him in points or after?

Before! He was still in the team lead for points today. (Although, with Luchanko heading to junior worlds, he might have remained in the lead.)

This trade will hopefully be good for Allen's development. And obviously the Caps already have a good relationship with the Knights.

Seems like šatan will take the 3C spot for Slovakia at the WJC

Cristal is balling out tonight. I think two goals and an assist.. Sole possession of second play all time in points for Kelowna.

5 points behind McKenna who was picked over Cristall with way less game played.

London should be a great spot for Allen dialing in his decision-making for a very structured, pro style team. I wouldn't necessarily rule out an OA return next year if he's deemed not quite ready for a regular AHL spot vs. either sitting or starting in the ECHL.

1+2 for Allen in his London Knights -debut.

Mateiko is expected to be dealt to Memorial Cup hosts Rimouski once his World Juniors are over.

I figured he might be (yet another) Caps prospect that's dealt to a top-team. Allen obviously traded already. Who knows what'll Kelowna Rockets end up doing but with them hosting the Memorial Cup in 2026 and Iginla out for the year, it'd surprise me if they didn't move Cristall and maybe Price to load up for next season.

Would be great if few of them were to meet up in the Memorial Cup finals with Allen in London, Mateiko in Rimouski and Cristall in one of the top WHL teams (Cougars, please).
