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

Pretty sure Dickinson has the same problem as Musty - it's either NHL or back to juniors for him next year

technically he could go NCAA next year?

 

[Juxtaposer]

Signed ELC means a player can't go to the NCAA.

 

[Cas]

No, he's signed a pro contract. He'll never play NCAA sports.

 

[TheBeard]

With Musty out for the WJC, how many players do y'all foresee playing in the tourney?

Luca (Can) - Does he make the age cut-off?
Will Smith maybe (USA)
Sam Dickinson (Can)
Misskey (Can)
Wallenius (Swe)
Halttunen (Fin)
Svoboda (USA)
Chernychov (RUS maybe)
Kirsch (Swi)

I haven't been too close following this but my guess is:

Dickinson
Wallenius
Halttunen
Maybe Svoboda

That's it. Not sure about Kirsch but matters less after the Askarov trade... We are no longer panning for goalie.

You don't think Luca makes the canadian roster? Or am I correct in him not making the cutoff (his birthday is Dec 21).

Cagnoni is ineligible.

Smith is likely staying on the Sharks.

Russia is ineligible.

I'd bet on all the rest save Misskey and Svoboda.

Signed ELC means a player can't go to the NCAA.

Funny now that athletes are getting millions for their "name, image, and likeness" to play college football and basketball that an athlete signing an actual contract is some big problem for a minor collegiate sport, but that's NCAA logic for you. Nobody does hypocrisy like the NCAA.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Wrist injury is not too bad.

He could still do leg press. Get bigger legs like Crosby or Martin St Louis and work on his net front presence tipping pucks. Become our very own Tomas Holmstrom. The Musty Mule. Distracting goalies with odor.

I mean it's no different than going professional in most sports means you can no longer compete at an amateur level. Same with a college football player declaring for the draft. They only have 72 hours to rescind or they renounce all collegiate eligibility.

Yeah, the Olympics used to do that amateur hypocrisy too and that's long since dead

 

[Hawkeye8]

Halttunen with a 4 game suspension.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I know people have a lot of opinions on Scouch, but this is a nice little breakdown of a Dickinson game. Only 5v5, but I find this sort of content really valuable.

Seems like Sam gets the idea of what he wants to do but execution errors here and there

Yep, I think that's pretty accurate. Easy to forget that he just turned 18 in June, he's a still so young and raw.

I'd much rather he have the ideas and fumble the execution than not even see them at all.

 

[bullslugg]

Such a bright future for Sam

 

[CaptainShark]

It says a lot about a prospect when you check out the scoreboard, see that his team won 6-0, then see that said prospect had a primary assist, was +3 and named 2nd star and yet can’t avoid to feel a little bit disappointed #BDE

 

[anthonyyy]

It was a prettyyyy nice pass.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Classic USA Hockey.

 

[Friday]

Classic USA Hockey.

Pretty ridiculous. Its clearly personal with him

 

[Jts4thgoal]

Chip on shoulder Musty coming in hard next year

 

[Juxtaposer]

Pretty ridiculous. Its clearly personal with him

He hits both the USA Hockey hot buttons, which is that he went to the CHL and isn't a two-way grinder.

 

[Jargon]

I really want Musty to come in and dominate next year. I feel like the kid is unfairly maligned. I’m officially happy we didn’t trade him for Jiricek — let him come in next year as Will Smith’s wing and shut everyone up.
