In Ben Maxwell's rookie AHL season, he had an excellent 58 points in 73 games. He was a good prospect, he just never grew after that. Not sure what happened.

I liked Maxwell, so i was disappointed it never worked out. One thing that stood out is that he never displayed any urgency in his game and was really soft. If not in a scoring role, he was really useless. And in the end, he wasn't skilled enough to be gifted an offensive role.
If he had more versatility to play different roles, I believe he could have carved a career and eventually become a top 6 through continued growth. But he couldn't be that right away and had no other tool at his disposal.
Too bad.
Lapierre is bulkier and gets quick and unexpected accelerarions that are a feature of is style.Haven't watched a single Bathurst game this season. How do Kidney and Lapierre compare, being on the same team, same position?
That’s the danger of determining whether prospects performance on points alone though. It was pretty clear that Maxwell had obvious holes to his game and the probability of his game being effective at the NHL was always quite low.In Ben Maxwell's rookie AHL season, he had an excellent 58 points in 73 games.

Pretty underrated prospect, 50 points, 20 goals in 38 games. Good stats at 18 years old.
Great hands, great two-way ability, got high hockey IQ.
I think is going to be at least Top 9 C in NHL, if his translate his offensive game at higher level, can be a good top 6 C.
Hopefully he turns out better than the last Habs prospect to share my birthday.. Mac Bennett.
He's still plugging away in the SHL with Lingkoping at the ripe old age of 33 with a couple of interesting draft eligible teammates in big center Filip Bystedt and RHD Mattias HavelidI liked Maxwell, so i was disappointed it never worked out.

Is Kidney on pace for 100pts still?
would be incredible if he became a top 6 playmaker in the NHL for us.looking good-

And Kidney play vs way better competition (the maritime are stack this year)All the talk is Josh Roy but Riley Kidney has quietly amassed over 80 points and had 4 assists tonight.
He will get a contract in the near futureAnd Kidney play vs way better competition (the maritime are stack this year)

Any guesses why Roy already has a contract but Kidney doesn't?He will get a contract in the near future
I don’t know, Roy is having a better season and I still like more his potential then Kidney, but it’s probably a matter of time for Kidney.Any guesses why Roy already has a contract but Kidney doesn't?

He didn’t play much during covid and wasn’t super productive when he did. There were also questions about his skating and his work ethic. He’s answered the questions about his production and his work ethic, just needs to continue developing his skating.Interesting, joshua roy was selected 1st overall in the Q draft. Kidney at 12th..
I wonder why/what was seen in the draft that roy slipped to rd5??
Most of the other top scorers are small older guys, lots of 5'9 20-21 year olds. Dufour is big, 20, and an Islanders pick. Parent is 21 and 5'8 undrafted, Rochette is 20, undrafted. Roy and Kidney look like good picks so far.looking good-
