Prospect Info: General Prospect Discussion Thread 2020-21

He's talking out of both sides of his mouth on this one; if he cares so much about the WJC why is Boldy so low? He was one of the best prospects in the tournament.

It’s not only prospects

It’s not only prospects

Kaliyev is listed way higher than him.

 

[DANOZ28]

no big deal kaprizov was ranked less than a cup of coffee 5 yrs ago. nothing wrong with boldy but im higher on rossi.

 

[AKL]

I really think he should focus on more qualitative work, rather than trying to rank over 150 players made up of a mix of true prospects and established NHL players. He's not good at either, but my god he's proven to be awful at ranking mass amounts of players.

I heard on sound of the foghorn podacst that our boy johansson has 6 points in the last 6 games.

Why’s the guy gotta go off and un-bust when we figure out how to get a second rounder for him

I really wish that he would just focus on basketball

Marco Rossi Flashed Offensive Prowess on an Undermanned Austrian Team | Zone Coverage

This is a great article on Rossi and why his WJC performance shouldn't be a concern.

Is it like the KHL and those lines aren't indictive of 1st line or 2nd line?

 

[AKL]

Is Hutsko injured?

No. York lists them like that. It’s just the top 6 plays the same amount virtually so they go by seniority, and the Hutsko/McBain line has that. Hutsko is out tonight

Is Hutsko injured?

No news on that. I’d assume we’d know if he was injired though, and with everyone just returning to campus from Christmas break, I bet it’s a Covid exposure. Just a guess, though.

NHL Network has us as the 4th best prospect pool. Not bad.

Just thinking about what Beniers could do for our ranking.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Just thinking about what Beniers could do for our ranking.

Yep. Though we'll lose Kaprizov.

I'm just thinking of what 2 1sts + 2-3 2nds + 2 3rds is going to do.

 

[AKL]

Yep. Though we'll lose Kaprizov.

Maybe if things go a certain way this season we can add Beniers and Guenther/Sillinger/Lucius to sort of offset losing Kaprizov.

Yeah that seems about right. Maybe a tad high, imo.

Behind the Rangers, Kings and Senators. One spot ahead of the Avalanche.

 

[AKL]

I think we range over a few spots, and it entirely depends on what you think Rossi's upside is. Whether he's a 60 point 2C or a 90 point 1C.

The fun thing about drafts is watching players that raise there stock throughout the year to star status. This year, without a normal season, and some players may not even play, there will be players that probably would’ve that will not have the opportunity to. For example, last year Stutzle flew up the board. Jarvis/Quinn another example. I hope we can get another first and trust in brackets ability to find that skill, especially in a year when it may be available later than normal because most didn’t get a chance to see it.

@KaprizovSaveUs have Warren and Hellson been on the same pairing all season or is this new?

All season

I was wrong

 

[AKL]

All season

I like that for Warren. I still think he's one of the more underrated guys in our pool.

 

[AKL]

Boldly assist alert.

I've also been pretty impressed with Ambrosio so far today.

And Not Spencer Knight is having a pretty rough game so far.
