Prospect Info: General Discussion of Prospects

[Chainshot]

I wonder if Dahlin, Olofsson and Henki are watching this Frolunda-Vaxjo game somewhere together. And Vaxjo advance. We won't know where Hardy Häman Aktell winds up for a little while longer.

Missed this the other night - Prince George beat Tri-City:

Linus Soderstrom with his third shutout of the series and fifth of the playoffs to get Skelleftea to the SHL finals against Vaxjo.

He’s no Tommy Boy!

 

[Chainshot]

Not sure where to put this and there really aren't any prospects in the game, but there is a Czech League playoff game between Pardubice and Trinec on right now via Youtube:



The reach would be that Sabres EU scout Frank Musil's son is playing for Pardubice?

 

[Chainshot]

Having some lunch and just to point out that DIF's dark uniforms, it's hard to read the numbers.

Also, old friend Gustav Possler whose drafting and early goal scoring lead me to watching games on somewhat dubious platforms years ago is one of Bjorkloven's wingers in the series against Ostlund.

 

[Chainshot]

The chanting in these EU playoff games is awesome reminiscent of Premier League, etc...

They should tell Ostlund that playing Syracuse and Utica is like playing Bjorkloven so that he understands. Chippy/dirty as anything I've seen in either Swedish league.

 

[Chainshot]

DIF opens it up to a 4-2 lead, leaning on the vets today instead of the kids.

Ostlund dropping to his knees to play goal as there is a mad scramble in front of the net due to a mis-play by Stefan Elliott is a thing.

 

[Chainshot]

Sitting down for some lunch, kicked on Ilves vs. Pelicans playoff game and was left with one thought - Leo Lööf needs to play on the same team as Panarin or Mangiapane.




I'll show myself out.

Metsa is a pretty nice grab for this organization correct @Chainshot and others ?

I'm a fan of this and the Jandric signings. Sometimes these guys work out. And they don't yet count toward their contract count since they are minor league deals.

I enjoy that it’s easier to get nice college grads to take AHL deals than it is to get Johnson to take an NHL one.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Metsa was a really solid collegiate player. Excited that we finally added a little more for Rochester!

Eh, they are not the same.

We need some quality youngsters to ice in Rochester and I'm glad we could add two. Hopefully we can add two more (RyJo and Novikov). I dont think we are in danger of veteran limit in Rochester, but 4 kids and 4 vets on D is a nice balance.

They need to have a couple of guys who can be the 8/9 for the inevitable recalls. Johnson should be in consideration for one of those spots.

 

[Ace]

Eh, they are not the same.

You’re right. The AHL signees have 32 options. Johnson has had one all year.

 

[Chainshot]

Solid results for the kids in action tonight:

Savoie 1-2-3, first star, Ice win
Nadeau a goal, Olympics win
Komarov +2 in a 6-3 Quebec win
Lindgren +1 in a 2-1 Red Dear win

 

[Chainshot]

Gatineau and Quebec both underway.

If anyone is still awake watching Red Deer and Saskatoon, I applaud you. 25 minutes into the game and 8 shots... combined.

[Chainshot]

Komarov, Nadeau, Savoie, and Lindgren all in action tonight.

of interest in here….he throws nine names into some tiers

He said last years trio of last years first rounders are NHL players.

Then he picked out Nadeau, Richard and Komarov as guys with traits and potential

then he said Poltapov, Neuchev and Novikov are in a tier somewhere between the two groups. Mentioned the latter two can be signed now

When asked about Johnson he said what everyone does at this point. No idea what the holdup is. If he can’t see the opportunity here it’s ridiculous

He also made a joke about Johnson not returning his calls... which was our joke on the board a few days ago too. Comedy gold, Jerry, gold!
