With so few prospects and all limited to one team I'd recommend having a list of draft eligible players on hand to at least get some viewings of possible future ducks. Could be fun.

Great point! There will be quite a few draft eligibles, so checking them out should be interesting.

3 Prospects So Far, probably 2-3 future Ducks out there too of course there's no way to know who they'll be so it'll be fun paying attention to all the draft-eligible prospects not knowing who it will be.

#21, #3, and #4 are our guys.

Gaucher with a spinorama assist early on.

Gaucher with a beautiful assist

Really nice primary assist for Gaucher early

 

[GunnarStahl]

he has a Getzlafian playmaking ability at times

Dean-Gaucher-Roy with the French connection there

 

[Static]

he has a Getzlafian playmaking ability at times

I think he has underrated skill as well

This Canadian team is huge

Two good neutral zone defensive plays from hinds.

 

[GunnarStahl]

GAUCHER IS UNBELIEVABLE

He should get the secondary assist on that goal as well lol

 

[Static]

Back to back to back MVPs incoming? I kid, kinda.

 

[GunnarStahl]

Well that was a fun period, unfortunately I now have to go to my second job, take notes for me @Static

GAUCHER IS UNBELIEVABLE

I feel like Gaucher put a lot of focus into his defensive game last year which led to a downtick in production which to someone who wasn't paying attention could've looked like a regression as a player, but this year he's managed to put it all together and become both an offensive threat and a defensive threat and became a real two-way threat, I feel better and better about that pick every time I see the kid play, I think he's starting to shatter through that "bottom 6 ceiling" potential he was expected to have on draft day, one of my favorite prospects for sure.

Zellweger/Hinds is PK 2 pairing.

Korchinski is huge, looks really good he could fill out and be scary.
