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

[Lindgren]

Mynio wasn't in the line-up last night for Calgary. The Hitmen play again on Friday night.

That's not really newsworthy, but I wanted to get a post in early with the board just coming back on-line, so I'd get a lot of views.

 

[Lindgren]

The game is just getting underway in Calgary, and it looks like Mynio is playing.

He picked up a primary assist on the PP



Also, Yakemchuk is out week-to-week, so Mynio will be the guy until his return.

Hey, TIG (or anyone), which Canucks prospect currently playing in Europe would you say has the best chance of an NHL career of any sort whatsoever?

I'd say it's probably Melvin Fernstrom......but he's years away, if ever.

 

[Tables of Stats]

Given that the site update seems to have broken tables, I moved the prospect stats over to sheets. I don't like how it displays when inlined on the site but I also didn't want to redo the tables while the forum migration might just break things again.

If you find the stats in the OP useful and have a preference either way feel free to let me know.

Barrie was shut out and has now lost 5 straight games. From 1st place to 3rd real quick and by the end of the weekend they could be in 5th.

This is what happens when you add Canuck property to your roster. This organization is a curse.

Boumedienne is starting to really frustrate Willander

Youngest player in the NCAA
And it shows IMMENSELY

Elaborate?

Boumedienne is starting to really frustrate Willander

He's sliding in a lot of rankings.

 

[Breakers]

Elaborate?

Two on two
Willander has his man skating backwards with gap control on the neutral

Boumedienne is skating with his guy forward and a simple push or forearm shiver from the guy knocks him down

2 on 1 is the result

Another example
boumedienne has position but guy angles him right into the net and he gets taken out by it

He’s just not strong enough

Like he turned 18 today

[Yultron]

Anthony Romani is back , and has scored his 3rd goal of the season , let’s hope he finishes off the season strong and has a solid playoffs to get hyped for his AHL debut.

Adding him , Mynio and Alriksson will be fun to watch on the farm next year

"They say it's a goal"

Romani

Scott Wheeler ranked the Canucks 21st in his prospect rankings at The Athletic.

Overall Ranking & Criteria

• Canucks ranked 21st overall
• Were ranked 18th overall last season
• Skaters must be 22 years old or younger
• Goalies must be 25 years old or younger

The List

1. Jonathan Lakkerimaki - with proper development & coaching, has top-6/PP1 finisher upside
2. Tom Willander - Will have a long career as #3-4 defenceman
3. Elias Pettersson - Will be a #7-8 at the very least; has potential two-way value
4. Aatu Raty - Linemates will be factor in his success; questions on if he's a centre or winger
5. Sawyer Mynio - His game is about his feet, smarts and competitiveness; may be a solid depth defenceman in time
6. Melvin Fernstrom - Has been miscast as a skill-only guy; some think he won't be an NHLer but Wheeler thinks he has a chance at becoming a middle-6 NHLer
7. Arturs Silovs - Still young for a pro goalie; has talent to be more than a call-up
8. Danila Klimovich - possible, but not probably, to be a bottom-6 NHL scorer with his floor being a call-up; thought about ranking him lower and isn't confident in this ranking
9. Riley Patterson - Has the skill to be a top OHL player but may have to wait to next year for it to reveal itself; wonders if he gets traded in the OHL against next season
10. Anthony Romani - Lost time, this season, with injury; Might be more of an AHL scorer but there are recent examples of players with his skillset becoming NHLers (ex: Ty Kartye)
11. Kirill Kudryavtsev - Game doesn't immediately look like an NHLer but has several redeeming qualities; likes him better than where he was drafted
12. Ty Mueller - Might have a ceiling of an AHLer but has shown more skill in the last two years than previously thought; players ranked 8-12 are interchangeable
13. Nikita Tolopilo - There are areas to improve but a lot to work with; Turns 25 in April

Tiers

• Tier 1: Lekkerimaki & Willander
• Tier 2: Pettersson, Raty, & Mynio
• Tier 3: Fernstrom, Silovs, Klimovich, Patterson, Romani, Kudryavtsev, Mueller, & Tolopilo

Not sure how KK is ranked lower than Klimovich.

 

[RobertKron]

Not sure how KK is ranked lower than Klimovich.

FWIW, it does say players ranked 8-12 are interchangeable.

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

They left my guy Alriksson out; he's almost ppg right now, boo! /s

 

[credulous]

They left my guy Alriksson out; he's almost ppg right now, boo! /s

he mentions alriksson as a possible inclusion but doesn't see him as more than possibly an ahl player
