F Jayson Shaugabay - Univ. of Minnesota-Duluth, NCAA (2023, 115th, TBL)

[Prior]

I don’t see an NHL future in Shaugabay and I don’t think a different development path changes that. He plays the game at a different pace and I don’t think that’s feasible at the highest level with his frame. He was the second best player and prospect on his line at Warroad last year.

Any reason then that he outscored Pilgrim (by 4 points in same GP) and won Mr. Hockey?

Not saying you’re necessarily wrong. Pilgrim seems like another really good prospect for next year, but I’m interested in why you say that Pilgrim is better.

Significantly better skater, a bit more dynamic, more of a willing shooter with a nice release. Both put up video game numbers so you’re splitting hairs but Pilgrim will have a little more projectable frame to fill into with seemingly better tools I think. Not many smaller frame players currently playing the game the way Shaugabay does in the NHL so I’m just not convinced.

MN Mr. Hockey goes to the best Senior grade player so Pilgrim would have not be eligible.

He started the season slow, but is starting to pick it up. 3+14=17 points in 17 games.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

15+31=46 points in 46 games.

Not bad for a 7th round pick. Wish he'd shoot the puck a little more.

4th rounder, still a solid year for him though.

1st time I read his name I thought it said "shag a baby"

That’s not how it’s pronounced.

The Brits will be relieved

Relative to expectations, he's performing how he probably should in the USHL for this year. Maybe expected a bit more, but very solid.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

4+1=5 points in his first 5 games for Minnesota Duluth. Probably won't make a serious run at the US World Junior team, but I believe he was at the Summer Showcase, so he has a slight chance and the good start doesn't hurt.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He's a playmaker, so here come the assists. Had 0+3 tonight. Now has 4+4=8 points in 8 games. Pretty good start. Think he's a better contender for the WJC team than most probably think.
