Prospect Info: Cliff Pu (2016, 69th) – '18-19: Traded to Carolina

[Savitar]

At the game right now , Pu with an assist in the first period

 

[Kyndig]

Cant wait until he gets his chance, gets a weak goal, and the announcers say the goalie let in a stinker...

‏@SabresProspects - Cliff Pu strikes on the power play for his 22nd goal of the year. London and Oshawa tied 2-2 in the 2nd.

 

[MrMaster]

What's up with him?
Did he cool off?

 

[AustonsNostrils]

No, he's 4th in the OHL scoring race with 26 goals and 31 assists. Which is fantastic. But he has slowed down his pace, he was very close to 2 PPG average and now he's at 1.56 PPG.

Did his linemates change bc of juniors?

 

[flashsabre]

The Knights just made some massive moves to load up for another run. They picked up Mitchell Stephens, Dante Salitauro and dman Mitchell Van De Somple. It will be interesting to see who Pu plays with moving forward. He was paired with Max Jones but Jones can't stay healthy to save his life.

Where does he go in a re-draft? Does he make it to the first round? He still has another year of eligibility so when do we expect to see him in a sabres uniform? 2-3 years?

 

[CaseyMitts37]

Very high praise from Corey Pronman, rated him the 20th best prospect

He won't be 20 until June 2018 so I'm guessing to see him in training camp next season he'll have a contract this off season. He has a shot at impressing at camp if his play keeps up.
Woodhouse and others know a lot about these prospects, maybe one of them can elaborate.

Good deal.

 

[Snippit]

In a re-draft, I would guess he goes 35-40.

The biggest knock on him was his lack of production. He's obviously put that to rest, so I'd expect him to go way higher.

Still needs to add strength and he can be prone to mistakes. Difficult to see how his game translates.

 

[LaxSabre]

Game will also be televised LIVE on the NHL Network here in the United States.

 

[Snippit]

I don't know what's happened to his play since December (WJC cut?) but it's fallen off quite a bit - and not just in terms of production.

‏@GoLondonKnights - PUUUUUUU!!!!!!! - @cliffp_28 scores another power play goal for the Knights!
‏@GoLondonKnights - PUUUUUUU!!!!!!! - @cliffp_28 with his second of the Knight!

@SabresProspects - Cliff Pu goes short side from the right side for his 28th. PPG. London and Kitchener tied 2-2 Ed 2nd.
Cliff Pu gets his 28th and 29th (ENG) goals and wins 14 of 20 draws as London downs Kitchener 5-2.

 

[Snippit]

Way better game from Cliff, and not just because of the goals.

 

[Yatzhee]

He looks good.

Good deal.

That would require him to play another season in juniors, correct?

 

[LaxSabre]

@GoLondonKnights - That's Cliff's 30th of the season.
‏@GoLondonKnights - The @Jack_Astors play of the Knight goes to @cliffp_28 for his goal to tie the game in the second period!
LaxSabre - Unfortunately for Pu and the Knights that was their only goal of the game. Owen Sound wins 6-1.

 

[Yatzhee]

Yep.

 

[LaxSabre]

‏@GoLondonKnights - PUUUUUUUUU!!!!- @cliffp_28 lights the lamp from the slot!!!!!!! Knights lead 3-2 with less than 8 minutes to go!!!
@SabresProspects - Cliff Pu scores. That's his 32nd goal of the year. London takes the 3-2 lead at Ottawa in the 3rd Period.

‏@SabresProspects - Pu's 32nd holds up as the GWG in London's 4-2 victory. Second GWG this year.
He also assisted on an empty-netter. Pu - 51 Games Played - 32 Goals - 40 Assists - 72 Points.
@GoLondonKnights - The @Jack_Astors #PlayoftheKnight goes to @cliffp_28 for scoring the GWG and picking up an assist leading to a two point night!
