I know everyone is on the edge of their seat waiting for the next Minnesota prospect update...so here ya go:
Star #1 of tonights Canada-Russian Challenge game? 2003 draftee Konstantin Barulin with 51 saves behind a 'b' or 'c' level team.
Star #2? 2002 draftee Michael Lambert.
Actually, Greg, I think "current events" posts like these are a great idea! Here's a progress report on some of the Ducks' prospects in the AHL:
Tomas Plekanec - Through 18 games, the 2001 draftee has posted 7 goals and 8 assists for the Hamilton Bulldogs, tops among the team's prospects (Benoit Gratton and Pierre Dagenais have more points, but can no longer be considered prospects).
Niklas Kronwall - The 2000 draftee has posted 2 goals and 8 assists through 17 games for Grand Rapids, tops among Griffins' defensemen.
Jason Pominville - With 7 goals and 7 assists in 14 games, the 2001 draftee leads the Rochester Americans in scoring.
Dennis Seidenberg - Drafted in 2002, the young German has 3 goals and 6 assists in 17 games for the Philadelphia Phantoms, tops among the team's defensemen. Is also a +5.
