I know I am going to jinx it, going into the third period, but maybe someone who has more experience with evaluating prospects can explain what I am seeing.

Everytime someone skates down the ice in transition, 1v1 or partial 2v1 along the boards against Cagnoni, it seems like it is a guaranteed turnover. He either rubs them out along the boards and takes the puck or blocks it in his skates as they try to cut back, and sends it the other way. He did it 3 or 4 times that last period (which sort of speaks to the teams issues, outshot 36-15 through 2) and I must have seen it over a dozen times this season.

Am I just noticing it more than usual because I am watching him more closely? Is this translatable to the NHL? I assume he couldn't do it to McDavid everytime, but is he just outclassing the AHL players that much as a defensive defensemen?

What is going on here?

Dickinson is 5th in points per game in the OHL with 25 (10 goals) in 15. Misa (C), and three RWs Martone, Greentree, and 19 year old Rehkopf are ahead of him. He's also the top scorer on the Knights, who aren't like a total wagon (Niagara, Kitchener, Kingston, Windsor, and Saginaw score about the same). Leads the OHL in PP goals as well.

7th in goals per game behind Misa, Martone (both at 1G/G+), 19 year old Pinelli, He, Lardis, and Sennecke.

Parekh is 4th on Saginaw with 18 points in 16 games. Yakemchuk (WHL) has 15 in 14. Buium has 10 assists, no goals in 10 games.

I'm just stat watching, but still seems pretty exciting.

Schaefer (3rd) is just ahead of Parekh in points per game, with Dickinson and Marrelli (6'2 2024 3rd round RHD from CBJ) at #1 and 2. Schaefer is doing it on a lower scoring team- though they may become higher scoring with him back.

Where are we at on Valtteri Pulli? His contract ends this season.
Being 23, I really was hoping he'd have been healthy this season so we could have seen him get a rather large try-out on the big club before making a decision, but it's starting to look like he doesn't have much of a future with the organization. Who knows? Maybe he'll sign another one year look at the same 950K but I don't even know why the Sharks would bother at this point?

We currently have 7 LHD's signed and assigned to the minors. The only guy internally that I see as a possibility to come in and be an LHD as well is probably Axel Landen. They may be able to carve out another year out of Pulli if they see something there but I don't know what they'd see personally. I'd let him go.

Landen is a RHD.

The only LHD we have on the protected list are Sahlin Wallenius and Kashnikov. LSH seems to be doing fine but is an SHL second-rounder, so he's either NHL or SHL until he's 24, and Kashnikov appears to be washing out of the KHL at 21 after two years there, so I doubt he's much of an option. Nobody who is a realistic option for the Barracuda in the next couple of years.
