Prospect Info: Sharks Prospect Info & Discussion Megathread XXI: "New, improved, and wayyyy too much info" Edition

[Grinner]

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.

Interesting comparison between Mack and Stutzle's motor and dynamic qualities.

"Tim Stutzle except he actually cares about defense" would be a solid outcome. I think he can hit higher though.

Where are we at on Valtteri Pulli? His contract ends this season.

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?

Celebrini...the Stutzle we deserve.

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.

He will be a top 5 player in NHL in 2-3 years.

The only thing I felt was missing was that they didn't talk about his poor puck possession stats

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.

I made a mistake reading Puckpedia. I don't think either of those two will be coming over which is sort of why I think they can carve out another year for Pulli if they want. I'd prefer to use the space bringing two of Fisher, Havelid, Landen, Misskey, and Pohlkamp. I suppose you could throw Barnett in that group but it doesn't seem like he's doing enough to earn a contract. I think the two in the lead for that right now would be Landen and Pohlkamp.

I don't think Havelid or Landed can come over to play in the AHL (NHL-SHL transfer agreement), Barnett doesn't realistically have NHL potential, and at this point i'd be shocked if Fisher even has pro potential, as he's gone back to Junior A after a total flop of a freshman year in yhe NCAA.

It might mean that they bring in Misskey then to fill in or if they feel it's not worth it, they can bring in a vet AHL RHD to fill the gap. I suspect Pohlkamp is pretty much guaranteed to be one as long as he wants to go pro.

If they think Pohlkamp is pro-ready (and it seems he might be), I'm happy to bring him in. Misskey looks like he's going to be ready for the pro test too.

I think Pohlkamp is talented enough to earn an NHL spot if he turns pro with us for next season. We look like we'll have the opening in the lineup.
