The Kraken prospect pool is getting pretty deep with a lot of draftees now playing the AHL. With Evans, Wright and Beniers full time in the NHL now it is time to see how well our other prospects playing in juniors, AHL and Europe are doing.

The roster has totally revamped. I don't remember who he was paired with last season. A lot of AHL vets seemed to have started slow. I think the vets are likely to take more time to adjust since the team lost a lot of vets and is much younger

Winterton 1G
Morrison 1G
Nyman 1G
Ottavainen 0P

On the other hand prospects I though would take a bit to get used the pro game seem like they are doing alright

Sale 1G 3A
Nelson 3A
Firkus 1G 2A

I am a little surprised by Goyette's slow start and him not getting more time. Started the first 2 games with 0 points and has not played since.

I'm similarly surprised that the latter group of prospects is producing so quickly. That's where the upside is so I'm fine with that tradeoff.
