Prospects Thread

[bills09]

All Prospect Discussion here, trades, players doing well etc.

some of my prospects off to hot starts.

Matt Frattin off to a huge start in his senior year, 12 goals in 14 games. leads ncaa in goals.
Roman Horak, former 5th rounder of the New York Rangers putting up over a ppg for the Chilliwack Bruins of the whl.
Tomas Kubalik heating up in the ahl, following a 4 point game, 12 points in 19 pro games this season.
Corban Knight another fellow UND player, has surpassed his freshman totals in his 2nd season in 23 less gp, currently sits with 14 points in 14gp on the year.
Justin Shugg proving to be one of Missisaugas top forwards this season, on one of the top teams in the Ontario Hockey League

[Mash]

Shugg is a beast...was a HUGE fan when he played for Windsor was really disappointed when he left.

Craig Cunningham leads the WHL in scoring
Brendan Ranford - 4th in WHL scoring
David Desharnais - 4th in AHL scoring
Felix LeFrancois - 12th in QMJHL scoring
Tyson Barrie and Alex Petrovic are 8th and 11th in WHL D-Men scoring

[armandtanzarian]

I wish I had more than one prospect.

[Nick]

I feel like I sold the farm...

But 4 guys that I've made sure to look for highlights and stories on:

Nino Niederreiter: PPG in his 12 games back in the WHL, also got in a scrap that he faired nicely in regular season won't mean much; WJC and Mem Cup are where Nino needs to shine.

Troy Rutkowski: one of the fallers on draft day, he's off to a very nice season for the Winterhawks, 17pts in 25 games.

Sondre Olden: had an awesome start in the Sweden J20 league for MODO, earning him a callup to the big boys league, nothing in his 2 games there so far, once again, WJC will be the place to watch.

Chris Kreider: has moved back to centre for BC, not exactly scorching the stat sheet @ 6pts in 12 games. As seems typical for my prospects, big things are expected @ WJC after an impressive first showing.

Ennis, Eberle, Stepan - all are doing well in the NHL i guess..

Toffoli - as i expected he will be a huge scoring threat this year, and he is proving so. 22g 38pts in 25 games.

Schwartz - 9g 9a in 12 games

Pickard - 2.47gaa, 0.933sp 10w in 20games

Pacan - 8g 17pts in 21 games first season in OHL

Slow starts - Watson, Sheahan

Since I actually don't get to watch them play, any comments on them are appreciated

Sondre Olden: had an awesome start in the Sweden J20 league for MODO, earning him a callup to the big boys league, nothing in his 2 games there so far, once again, WJC will be the place to watch.

uh?! i thought his U20 numbers (12GP,4,3,7) were disappointing so far this season.

couple guys i missed who are doing well for their respected clubs.

C Peter Holland Guelph Storm OHL 21gp 15g 11a 26p
D Justin Schultz University of Wisconsin 14gp 5g 9a 14p

Toffoli - as i expected he will be a huge scoring threat this year, and he is proving so. 22g 38pts in 25 games.

Watch Toffoli at the Aud in Kitchener this past weekend. He looked really solid offensively, great wheels on him and was a constant scoring threat against the Rangers (he scored twice and added another in the SO). Showed great hands and a quick release. Defensively he didnt really stand out to me which I guess isnt always a bad thing. I didnt notice any glaring mistakes by him, that being said he didnt do anything spectacular defensively either. A solid game by Toffoli for sure.

[MSP4LYFE]

If you guys want to see some dirtiness live, watch Michael Latta and Nail Yakupov, probably the two most skilled danglers in the OHL atm, perhaps even the CHL.

[bills09]
