Prospect Info: Kings Prospects in the CHL/College

[Raccoon Jesus]

Who wouldn't want a Friend jersey?

 

[Frolov 6'3]

After this past draft, I already had a feeling we had a killer draft.

During the season this feeling got even stronger.

An OHL coaches poll with many Kings prospects among the best in various areas.

I can see LA offering Friend an ELC. Kind of a Matt Greene lite.

I think he's a bit of a long shot. He didn't look particularly good in camp last year, and not getting a contract to this point is pretty telling. Still possibly, but with the log jam D, the odds are not in his favor.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

From scouting reports, seems like Friend is another Kurtis MacDermid clone.

 

[Sens]

Eyssimont Is crushing it

 

[KopitarFAN]

3/15 recap:

Owen Sound won 9-2, Phillips had 2 Assists and +2.

3/16 games:

North Bay @ Kingston (Vilardi)
Flint @ SSM (Villalta)
Sarnia (Rymsha) @ London
Brandon @ Moose Jaw (Clague)
Seattle (Strand) @ Portland (Kehler)
Tri-City @ Spokane (JAD)

I bet Blake will pursue Eyssimont's teammate Jimmy Schuldt in the offseason.

 

[Basilisk]

LoL, I brought up Friend on these boards a year ago. Half a dozen peeps promptly jumped upon me saying things like, "he's not even good, so don't bring him up" (or some crap like that). Oh well......

Well being a good bodychecker doesnt necessarily mean a promising NHL career, Basilisk.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Let's not forget that Basilisk also obsessed over Max Kitsyn.

I sure hope Eyssimont turns pro in the off season. The Reign need some offensive skill, and it's time to get this kid working on his pro development.

Friend is a long-shot to get a contract. He wasn't very good in camp last year, and the fact that he still hasn't been signed and his rights expire on June 1st is pretty telling. Yes, it's possible, but with the log jam on D, I don't expect it to happen.

Vilardi had a Goal and 2 Assists in a 5-3 win tonight. At this moment, he is now tied for 54th in the OHL in scoring, having played roughly half as many games as virtually everyone else.

Waiting for the remaining games to end to do the full recap.

 

[KopitarFAN]

3/16 recap:

Kingston won 5-3, Vilardi had a Goal and 2 Assists.
SSM lost 4-3 in OT, Villalta stopped 32/36.
Sarnia won 4-2, Rymsha had a Goal and an Assist.
Moose Jaw lost 6-5 in OT, Clague was scratched (could be rest as they are in the last few days of the season)
Portland won 8-3, Kehler stopped 24/27, Strand was scoreless and even.
Spokane lost 2-1, Anderson-Dolan was scoreless.

3/17 games:

Sarnia (Rymsha) @ Owen Sound (Phillips)
Moose Jaw (Clague) @ Brandon
Portland (Kehler) @ Seattle (Strand)
Spokane (JAD) @ Tri-City

 

[Frolov 6'3]

All these high scoring overagers are getting signed by other NHL teams.

Kings seem to look for defensemen and goalies only with exception of Luff.

 

[KopitarFAN]

3/17 recap:

Owen Sound won 9-4, Phillips had an Assist and +1, Rymsha was scoreless and -3.
Moose Jaw lost 5-4 in SO, Clague DNP.
Seattle won 5-1, Strand had a Goal and an Assist. Kehler stopped 25/30.
Spokane won 4-3, Anderson-Dolan had a Goal (his 40th).

3/18 games:

Kingston (Vilardi) @ Mississauga
London @ SSM (Villalta)
Spokane (JAD) @ Portland (Kehler)
Seattle (Strand) @ Tri-City

Today is the last day of the regular season.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

yes who knows if Vilardi, JAD and Strand will play tonight. Hopefully they do.

I think Kehler's regular season has come to end as he has played 2 games in a row now.

 

[KopitarFAN]

3/18 recap:

SSM won 6-3, Villalta DNP.
Kingston lost 3-1, Vilardi was scoreless.
Seattle lost 5-2, Strand had an Assist and a -3.
Spokane won 5-4, Anderson-Dolan was scoreless, Kehler DNP.

[KingTrouty]

Really excited to see how Vilardi plays in the playoffs. Now he'll be starting anew with his peers, rather than halfway through like this last season. Hope Kingston has a long run and that it's due in large part to Gabe

Yup, pretty cool!

Well it looks like it was hard to find some highlights with the Warriors.
