Prospect Info: Marlies & Prospect Discussion

[BertCorbeau]

Minten with another pretty good game tonight.

His speed has been good, he's making smart plays with the puck, taking the body when necessary and his overall hockey sense looks very good.

Very encouraged by his play in the rookie tournament and early training camp.

Hopefully he has a big year... I assuming he's WJC eligible still?

Stat-watch: Artur akthyamov 24 saves in a 2-1 ot loss yesterday.

highlights:


holy hell that's a lot of high danger saves

Yep. Will be interesting with both him and Cowan being potential options for the team.

Their tenacity in preseason should give Team Canada something to think about since the competition should be higher than playing junior. At the very least the management team should be paying a lot of attention to them leading into the tournament.

Feels like 2/3 of a good 4th line to me. Both guys seem like the type that coaches love.

Watching noah chadwick during the 2nd period. They’re using him on one of the pp units on his off side.

He just allowed a SH goal. Teammate gave him a bad pass, two guys double him and chadwick tries to stick handle the ouck while an opposing player strips him and then creates a breakaway. Feet quickness looks suspicious.

Looks comfortable but not fluid at handling the puck. Could pan out as a decent transition player.

Or really good support top 6 players. Every line needs tenacious players for puck retrieval and fore check. Both have played this way during preseason

He looks solid. He and Knies have some nice chemistry as well.

 

[LeafChief]

Nick Moldenhauer starting on the second line in his freshman season with U of Michigan.

Where are all the people that were taking shots at Minten all of last year because Management said they had him ranked much higher than where he was picked?

 

[Shak19]

I like what I've seen from Knies, Robertson, Minten thus far. Knies, Robertson, Cowan are top 6 guys. Minten looks like a bottom 6 guy to me.

Moldenhauer is the next guy coming up. H

Don't forget Grebenkin. Another potential top 9 guy

One of those players isn't like the others with regards to toolboxes. Not sure skating and shooting is enough to keep you in the NHL?

 

[Apex Predator]

I feel like he will always be a player that is good at the KHL but can’t put it together in the NHL.

Yup exactly. Was going to comment the same thing.

Dude has a lot of skill, he’ll succeed somewhere.

 

[Juniorhockeyguru]

Minten playing a regular season game?

 

[Leaf Fans]

Minten playing a regular season game?

Originally, the plan was to send him back to jr.. He has played well in the preseason, and the lineup has not been set, but there has be nothing public about him making the team, nor has there been any public info about him getting a 9 game NHL trial.

 

[Prominence]

Boxscore:
noah chadwick 2 gp: 1g 1a
Brandon lisowsky 2gp: 1a
Artur Akthyamov Sunday game: 30/31 saves win vs. Amur(3-5)



Apparently he can shoot. His primary assist was generated this way as well.

 

[Stringer Bell]

Doesn't look like any of our Russian prospects (forwards) are off to a good start this year. Unless you count SDA. Not sure how many of them are considered prospects at this point.

 

[leafers]

Grebenkin should join the Marlies as soon as possible.

 

[VanW27]

Doesn't look like any of our Russian prospects (forwards) are off to a good start this year. Unless you count SDA. Not sure how many of them are considered prospects at this point.

Unless my memory is failing me we have no forward prospect of significance in Russia besides Grebyonkin.

As for Grebyonkin, a bit of a slow start but if he can continue to be a regular getting decent minutes and put up ~15 goals (currently paceing for 17) playing on a team like Mettalurg as a 20YO, that's a very good year.

That's basically showing he's capable of being a legitimate NHLer next season.
