Buds Board Keepers League

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

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

I wish I had more than one prospect.

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

Brayden Mcnabbs got 16 pts in 14 games.
Ryan Howse has 32 in 22 games (8th in WHL)
Kugryshev has 4 pts in 13 ahl games so far.
Leddy with 8 in 13 in the AHL as well.
Josi doing okay as well.



Khudobin with a 2.06 GAA in the AHL,
J.P. Anderson tearing up the OHL too.
Eddie lack with a 2.22 GAA in the AHL as well.

top guys:

luke adam - 19 pts in 17 games in the A - recalled yesterday
bobby butler - leading goal scorer in the A
zack kassian - making the O his bitch - as he should be in his 4th year
jordan schroeder - starting to heat up now - 10 pts in 17 games
jerry d'amigo - now starting to adjust well to the pros
jeremy morin - pretty average so far - but still very early in his pro career
aaron palushaj - shredding the A - 15 pts in 13 games
richard panik - furious start, slowed down a bit but still over a ppg
viktor tikhonov - playing well - very solid - not outstanding.

kevin shattenkirk - will be an NHL star - book it.
ryan ellis - scoring like a forward - same old.
simon depres - dominating the Q as expected
david rundblad - 13 pts all last year, 16 pts in only 22 games this year. im happy.
steven kampfer - huge surprise - 14 pts in 16 games in first pro season as a d-man

corey crawford - developing very nicely - .920 in 7 starts

others include: halischuk, caputi, hanson, terry

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

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.

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.

im a pretty big Taylor Beck fan myself.
