- Thread starter McMetal
- Start date
He's a keeper he plays at 100% each shift . If we didnt have all those injuries, maybe a full year in the AHL would be beneficial for his developmen. But this guy is an NHLer.

Prish is playing well given his experience level, and draft position.
In regards to Malinski- he did struggle some last night (referencing the video just above), then I remind myself he does not yet have a full season of NHL games under his belt. And he's usually with DeHaan who drags his play down.

He definitely has a solid motor on him. I've liked him so far for a 4th line role. Better than Tynan/Foudy/Olausson those types. Probably even better than Wagner who doesn't move around the ice as well.

His instincts aren't NHL level yet. But his IQ is solid. 400 games in he'll be a league wide keeper if he can mix in 20-30 points.

Yeah I’ve been very impressed to start. His first game was clearly the best, but he’s been a net positive in every game so far and really pushes his line to being passable. I’m not sure he has it in him to compete the way he has for the whole season, but I think we have an actual NHLer here.
I’ve actually been pretty impressed with his puck skills too. Now I was expecting essentially none, so the bar was low, but he has made some very nice passes and good reads. If he gets that chance to develop offensively, I could truly see a good third liner (or best case second line) player.

He goes all out every single shift and understands where to be on the ice.
It’s that simple.
There probably isn’t much potential there, but enough to carve out a bottom 6 role as an NHLer.
For an overager 7th round pick, that’s phenomenal. A huge win for our generally pathetic drafting and amateur scouting departments.

Whoever pounded the table for him in the 7th made the right call, it's been a pleasant surprise to see how he's done thus far

These few games should be treated as his 9 game tryout, since he'll most likely be going back downto ahl once Nuke/Drouin return.
I'd keep him over Kelly, but we haven't seen Kelly in a role more appropriate for him yet lol.

Yeah I see Kelly and LOC working well together, till Colton comes back..

Tynan + Wagner are also waiver exempt and can be sent down.

True, but I'd like prishchepov to get ahl season this year..
I don't know, if he's getting top six minutes down there yes, if not no. He's clearly valuable here, and more experience here will get him more trust. If he shows signs of letting off the gas, or burning out then sure.
What he's doing now, in the NHL is valuable.
