Prospect Info: The 2024-2025 Prospect Thread: Part 1: Skate or Die!

Gezz, nice heads up play. It sounded as if him and Basile were very raw defenders in camp.

I thought Alcos looked fairly rangy and promising, played solidly within himself.

Sansonnens just looked like a coke machine.

That’s nothing! I lost 3 inches and gained 20 pounds.

Upside for Sanin Pellikka is Gustav Forsling; downside is Adam Bovquist. People underestimate how hard it is to play in the NHL as a somewhat undersized d-man. You've got to be an exceptional talented with high-end skating ability to pull it off. And those kind of guys usually go top-10 in the draft, not in back half of the first round.

He could make it big with the Wings. But give me 'size' most of the time. So at this point, D-Petey at 6'4" and 215; and Wilander at 6'2" and 190; represent better bets imo.

You would have to be an absolute fool to take D-Petey over Sandin-Pelikka right now. No hockey person in their right mind is making this trade.

ASP and Forsling are two very different type of players.

Who said anything about a 'trade'? Sandin-Pelikka, Wilander and D-Petey all suited up for Sweden's Silver Medal team at last year's World Junior Hockey Championships.

All I pointed out is that when it comes to the NHL, 'size matters'. And both Wilander and D-Petey are a lot bigger.

It was sounding a lot like you were saying you would rather have Petterson than Sandin-Pelikka as a prospect. Thus the I think no reasonable hockey person would ever do a trade like that comment.

I think the original post that sparked all of this like ten pages back was taking that position.

As I've said a few times here I'm one of the biggest EP2 supporters on the is board, but Detroit wouldn't take two EP2s for one ASP. They aren't even close as prospects.

They are both Swedish defenseman. That’s it. Speaking of which, I think if we kept Forsling we’d be a great pick for the Cup this year.

Wrong again, MS. They're right next to each other.

Based on this photo, I can certainly say that Lekkerimaki plays center.

Romani and Patterson both in action tonight for there respective OHL teams . Let’s hope Patterson has a good game and gets his first point of the season.

Anyone know if Fernstrom has a cool nickname or something? I've got no faith in a guy named Melvin making the big leagues.

Another 13+ mins for Fernstrom, and he hasn't looked out of place so far. Here's hoping he sticks on the 3rd line all season (and possibly earns a spot on Sweden's WJC team?).

 

[arttk]

go <insert prospect name> go!

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

the fact he's getting regular 3rd line minutes 2 games in a row is a positive sign
however, his ice time probably reflects more on how much pp2 he's getting, and his team takes penalties, albeit I doubt he's killing penalties, so
