Prospect Info: Caps Top Prospects General Discussion Thread Vol. 2 - 2021-22

I love the moxy of Leonard. Good players to have on your team versus hating them on another team.

Cristall's point steak snapped

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

An insanely good draft pick in Cristall. Crazy that so many teams passed on him.

Where is Leonard on this list?

Where is Leonard on this list?

I don't know his ordinal ranking, but here is a tweet that indicates he is at 63 in the PNHLe metric:

 

[usiel]

Leonard with 2 assists in another BC win. Two games against BU next weekend should be fun watches.

 

[Marshall]

Bobby Margarita's mid-season rankings are out.

 

[Langway]

Yuge home-at-home tonight and tomorrow between BC/BU. Should be on ESPN+.

 

[Langway]

Leonard with an absolute dart. BC up 1-0.

Dat Release.

Leonard with a secondary assist on Perreault's goal. That crowd is pumped in general.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

What a snipe and that crowd atmosphere…..woooooow.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Ive never seen a D that I can recall that visually at least, looks more like a forward, than Hutson. Not play, just looks like a winger skating to me..

I'm not sure how good Leonard is truly going to be, but I sure do know he's going to annoy other teams. And in the end isn't that the real truth? The answer...is no.

Well, on the second goal, he took a hit to make a play up to Smith who had the primary assist. It was a winning play, and he and Perreault were the 2 best players on the Ice tonight besides Fowler(BC goalie).

I think he is going to be good, I just don't know what level of good. I doubt he becomes a cornerstone type player, but is his median outcome closer to a prime Oshie or a prime Wilson?

I also think Leonard’s game will translate much easier. He already plays the body, isn’t afraid of contact, will go to the dirty areas, all things a lot of young offensive kids have to develop as they pass 18.

I also love the increase in NHL kids in the NCAA, he is already playing against very high talent.

He's gonna score more than wilson(goals and points). He skates better than Oshie, but Oshie has those elite hands, so I think Leonard is an Oshie-like player that skates better, hands are good, but not quite Oshie's level. Since Philly snagged the Russian kid, I'm ecstatic we got Leonard. He's the type of player winning teams need, from a skill/effort/intangibles perspective. Unfortunately Perreault looked really good too(f*** the Rags). Hopefully Leonard can unleash his own "Horrifying act of Violence" on them in the future.

There were times running up to the last draft that I actually liked Perreault better than Leonard and Smith even. Can't teach that hockey sense ability that he has. I do think Perreault has some hurtles to overcome like getting stronger and he doesn't have elite speed that allows some slighter frame players have NHL success.

[Holtbyisms]

Cam Allen finally returned from shoulder surgery last night. Played on the #1 pair. Finished with a couple shots no points and snagged him self a player of the game team award.

 

[Marshall]

I honestly had to watch the replay of the Cristall goal a few times as I couldn't figure out what he was doing.

Dunno if he's going to make it, but the skills and sense are filthy.

 

[Cush]

Leonard with the assist

 

[usiel]

Leonard with the assist

I was like how post so fast but realize I'm DVR delayed a bit. Leonard drew I think a couple of penalties in the first.

 

[Lou Sassole]

Leonard is tough, just took a cheapshot elbow/shoulder to the head. Back out on the Ice after they checked him out. UMASS Lowell captain took a major on the hit.

Damn totally forgot about the game tonight. Looks like he had a goal and an assist. That team is loaded.
