G Trey Augustine - Michigan State, NCAA (2023, 41st, DET)

[FriendlyGhost92]

More like the Redwings 1989 draft where they drafted elite Redwings players like Nicklas Lidstrom, Sergei Fedorov and Vladimir Konstantinov as well as successful NHL pros like Dallas Drake, Mike Sillinger and Bob Boughner who ended up playing mostly for other teams.

The 2023 draft already has 3 promising teenagers in Nate Danielson, Axel Pelikka and Trey Augustine who look like elite players so far. Even their 7th round pick Finnie already signed a contract and has been assigned to Grand Rapids.

I mean 2017 is way more recent and I figured comparing them to guys who aren't quite surefire hall of famers yet was probably a better option than comparing them to current HHoFers to include a generational defenseman and one of the greatest defensive forwards of all time...

... Even Dallas' draft is a huge stretch. I more meant it could be a franchise changing draft, like it was for Dallas.

15 save shutout tonight. It’s early (5 games), but a .939 SV% right now. Best player on Michigan State this year.

If Detroit is still in the playoff picture in the spring, any chance he jumps right to the Red Wings once the college season ends?

 

[Bonin21]

That would just be a really hard jump and you don't want to kill a young goalie's confidence

No goalies don't do this. It's a bigger difference than a skater making the jump.

Levi did, although he was basically a year and a half older at the time.

Sorry, I thought he meant become the starter heading into the playoffs and run with that full time. Yes he could probably play a game or 2. But Detroit has decent goaltending in talbot/Lyon and even Cossa, so the only reason augustine gets any games is as an incentive to sign.

No, if any goalie is getting some games this year it will be Cossa. Augustine would likely have a better chance if they're not in the playoff picture honestly

 

[GoBoltz56]

I'm high on Augustine and Cossa, but Cossa is obviously ahead of him in the organizational pecking order.

Cossa is several years ahead of him and is playing even better than Augustine in a pro league right now so not sure why he’d jump over him

Forgot all about him when I made the original post.

Has a .930 SV% coming into today. 8th in the NCAA. Was .915 last season.

Will he go back for one more year or is he coming out after this year?

I would bet Cossa is in the NHL in a split type role, and Augustine will be Grand Rapids with a veteran starter to help him out

I was told that Canada had the goaltending advantage going into that game because of a pair of games against Finland and Germany revealed a lot more than years of data on which goaltender is better.

Knowing the prospects there was no way George is or was better than Augustine, i gave the goaltending edge to the USA.

No. George has been the better goaltender for awhile. Augustine wasn't even the US best goaltender last year, Fowler was and is.

Fowler got smoked at the WJC by Augustine. The numbers were not even remotely close

Holy bias....

We should be able to tag posters who can't see straight.

Lol

I love that hockey's fanbase is growing...

 

[RedHawkDown]

Boss Man Hughes is a troll, his entire shtick is shitting on every single Detroit related prospect or player. It’s unfortunately really transparent so honestly pretty low tier troll work
