Prospect Info: Marlies & Prospect Discussion

[thinkblue]

Hildeby 26 save shutout for the first of his AHL career. Marlies ended up winning 5-0.
Marlies are now 5-2-2. In 4 of 9 games, Marlies have given up less than 25 shots, and in 2 of 9 less than 20.
Marlies record could easily be better too. In the first game, they lost a 4-1 lead in the 3rd and lost in OT. They lost a 1-0 lead late in the 3rd a few games ago and lost in a shootout. Yesterday they lost a 3-1 lead in the 3rd and lost in regulation. They have had 3 really tough losses but have responded next game every time.
They penalty kill is getting better at almost 83% which is 15th. The PP is a huge problem at 11% which is near the bottom.

Steeves may be angling for a call up this year if he keeps up the pace.
McMann on the 3rd line now so not sure we'll see the same production.

Can anyone find a highlight of Minten's game tieing goal?

[Green Snow Storm]

Minten has been dominant in his return so far, by far the best player for Kamloops.

Him and Cowan are poised for monster years.

Cowan had a goal and an assist yesterday and now has 6G 10A in 9 games. Hoping he can make the World jrs along with Minten. Would be pretty exciting.

Marlies have a few forwards I wouldn't mind seeing getting a shot with the big club.
Their D where we are in need not so much.

Niemela & Villenueve are real prospects, but both probably need some more seasoning in the AHL.

I think Villenueve is probably our most slept on prospect. 6'2 right shot D - if he could become a #4 D for us in a few years, that would be huge. More likely he can be a bottom pair guy for us, but he does have upside.

I really don't think there's a way Cowan is left off. I'd say he's pretty much a lock at this pace. Same for Minten, but I'd put him a little notch lower on the shoe-in scale.

Even as a bottom 6er, he should definitely be there. Seems like all his points are coming shorthanded. Having scoring ability, pk and physicality should be very valuable to Team Canada

 

[Future]

Yeah, he's always falling down as well. More than I've seen with any other player.

More than Tyler Bertuzzi?

 

[SprDaVE]

I would say his skating is just average.

I would say that is wrong.

He's so good. Slightly longer sequence:

 

[leafsfan2point0]

Would take Cowan over a good chunk of the forwards on the roster right now lol.

The WHL site usually has highlights of all the goals scored. Just go to scores and click gamecentre for the highlights of your chosen game.
Chadwick showed good patience waiting for a defender to glide by before burying 1 blocker side in the Canes game vs the Tigers on Friday. Be nice to be the team that finds the hidden gem.

Cool! Thanks!

OHL really watered down this year?

I only see highlights, but he doesn't look like a late 1st. round pick.

So many of his points/goals appear to be him making the other players look like they're in a lower division.

I mean, if you look at Points Per Game, and played at least 10 games, he's 2nd. in the OHL.

 

[horner]

Minten 2 games 2 ND star and 3rd star
Cowan going crazy

We have a 3rd line center and a top 6 player next year

I mean... he's a great prospect. I really wouldn't say his totals because of the opponents not being good... he's just good. The recent goal was against one of the best teams in the CHL.

It's crazy how good the Hunters are at the OHL level to build, develop and coach.

Glad Minten got an earned taste of the NHL but happier they sent him back to get these big minutes .. I think it will really help his development
