Was just about to post this...Desharnais will turn 26 before next season, so he JUST misses my prospect criteria, but Hamblin definitely counts.

The Idaho Steelheads have signed goaltender Peter Thome to a Standard Player Contract (SPC) for the remainder of the 2021-22 season.

Thome, 24, completed his collegiate career with the University of St. Thomas during the 2021-22 season, posting a 3-24-1 record with a 4.53 goals-against average and an .876 save percentage through 29 games as a member of the first NCAA Division I team in the university’s history. The Minneapolis, Minn. product played parts of four seasons with the University of North Dakota from 2017-18 through the start of the 2020-21 campaign, finishing with a 19-14-4 record with a 2.24 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage with three shutouts. He was on the roster for two NCHC Regular Season Championships prior to his transfer.

Prior to his collegiate career, the 6-foot-4 goaltender played two seasons of junior hockey with the second year between the Omaha Lancers, Chicago Steel and Waterloo Blackhawks in 2016-17, compiling a 21-9-2 record with a 2.99 GAA, a .891 save pct. and one shutout in 35 games. He was selected 155th overall (6th Round) by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2016 NHL Draft

Bruins draft pick signs an ECHL deal, generally a good indicator that he is not in Boston's plans...

VGK 2018 5th rounder

It'll be interesting to see if this one translates to a NHL deal. Overall, he posted great numbers in the NCAA and he's still relatively young, having just turned 23.

However that extra (5th!) year of college where he scored just 3 goals may have hurt his stock.

All of those 2nd and 3rd Round picks Detroit had over the last couple of years are really starting to take shape. In a very good way.

We knew with Covid, some teams were going to really take advantage of having good scouting staffs who don’t rely on scouting services for a lot of their preliminary scouting.

Detroit is one of them. We’re going to look back at the 20’ and 21’ drafts and wonder how so many later round players made it. It won’t be a coincidence that it’s the same 10-12 teams.
