Prospect Info: Binghamton Devils and ECHL talk

[HenriquesJawLine]

Goalies are weird. Who the eff knows.

This x1000. Blackwood is a freak athlete, that can't be taught. He's going to have plenty of time to develop his game.

 

[The Wumpus]

Who is eligible for Binghamton next year?

Bastian, Speers, White?

 

[Kurt Cobain]

This x1000. Blackwood is a freak athlete, that can't be taught. He's going to have plenty of time to develop his game.

It's very rare to play in the AHL as a goalie at the age he is. Seems like he's adjusting to the advanced speed and skill of professional hockey looking at the improvement in his stats lately. This is a very good sign I really think with his size and athletic ability he could be an NHL starter. I mean he easily could have been a 1st rounder back in 2015. He has a lot of value and is one of our top prospects. He can be an NHL starter if he has the mental aptitude for the game. As for Wedgewood and Appleby I think both of them could at least be backups in the NHL. We have a very good pool of goalie prospects.

Who is eligible for Binghamton next year?

Bastian, Speers, White?

Any player who is at least 20 years old by years end is eligible for the AHL in that season -- keep in mind this only applies to CHL prospects.

Blackwood was born in Dec 2016 so he was eligible to play in the AHL for the 2016-17. Bastian was born in Dec 2017, so he can play for Binghamton in 2017-18.

Mr. McCleod as well!

 

[Zippy316]

Mr. McCleod as well!

McLeod is not eligible for Albany next year. His birthday is Feb 3rd.

He doesn't turn 20 by the end of the 2017 calendar year, which is the requirement to be eligible to play in the AHL vs. CHL.

 

[Kurt Cobain]

Who is eligible for Binghamton next year?

Bastian, Speers, White?

Those three are eligible and so are Gignac and Cornier. Would also love to see or Russian prospects come over especially Rykov.

 

[Kurt Cobain]

I think McLeod could get a 9 game look especially if he keeps tearing up the OHL.

 

[Triumph]

Auvitu is a scratch again. Are they running up against the development rule? You can only have a maxium of 5 non-development players in the lineup - Auvitu, Stollery, Gazdic, Pelley, and Gormley might be non-development players but I'm not seeing the other guy. It's very curious.

If Rykov comes over early it won't be to play in the AHL.

I guess they don't want to play him 3 straight games.

My lone hope is they free him to play the World Championship at home, in Paris, in may...

 

[devilsblood]

Who is eligible for Binghamton next year?

Bastian, Speers, White?

I think Speers and White, given they will be in their draft +3 year are definits to move up, though Speers in NJ is not a terrible bet.

Gignac and Bastian as +2's? Blackwood went up in a similar spot. Is goalie different? Or maybe the team feels it's best to get prospects into the organization as soon as possible.

Albany Devils overcome a 2-0 3rd period deficit and win in OT @ St John's.

http://ahl.neulion.com/ahl/video/st-johns-icecaps-vs-albany-devils/16676

Rooney with the GWG
Appleby had a rough 1st period but settled down and earned the win with 32 saves.

http://theahl.com/game-summary?game_id=1016691

Lost last night to St Johns. 5-4. Were down 3-1 after 2, scored first 3 of the third, only to allow 2 goals within 40 seconds with 5 mins to go.

Mac Black stop 28 of 33. Devils also with 33 sog's.

Gazdic and Scarlett with 1 g 1 a apiece. Lappin with a goal and 4 sog's. Look's like Q with a dnp.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Albany will be fine in a month when they add:

Blandisi
Zacha
Wood
Santini


Some of Gignac/Speers/McLeod/Bastian/Kerfoot/Sissons will be heading there as well.

edit: oops saw this was posted last thread. oh well, easier reference

 

[ghdi]

Why hasnt that Loov guy played yet?

 

[R8Devs]

maybe visa issues?

 

[Triumph]

Big win for the A-Devs tonight - from 2-0 down to 4-3 winners. Pietila with 2 goals, Quennville 3 assists. The Albany Devils are not guaranteed a playoff spot by any means, so every game is critical.

Yes big win.

They need to get enough points until their key players are returned from NJ.

JQ up to 11g and 29 assists in 48 games.

I thought he was going to be more of a goal scorer, his statline honestly surprised me when I saw it the other day.

He's maintaining a pace better than what Rico did in his first pro year.

Henrique 10-11 AHL, 25 G 50 P 73 Games, .68 PPG

Quenneville 16-17 AHL, 11 G 40 P 50 games, .8 PPG

His shooting % is low considering the strength of his shot. I suspect poor shooting luck.

 

[Baemon Severson*]

Quenneville is 4th in AHL rookie scoring. Great pro debut for JQ

 

[Zippy316]

He's maintaining a pace better than what Rico did in his first pro year.

Henrique 10-11 AHL, 25 G 50 P 73 Games, .68 PPG

Quenneville 16-17 AHL, 11 G 40 P 50 games, .8 PPG

Probably about even.

JQ has the benefit of playing on a better team with better players to play with. The 2010-11 Albany roster is pretty ugly. Henrique also found a way to score 25 goals in his first pro season whereas JQ has only managed 11.

His shooting % is low considering the strength of his shot. I suspect poor shooting luck.

I supposed so. From what I've seen the release on his wrist shot takes a pretty long time. The power/accuracy is there, but I think he needs to learn how to be harder to read as a scorer. Reminds me of the James Neal Player's Tribune article:

I had to be in the middle of the circles between the hash marks to score on Marty. These guys were scoring from the top of the circles and from bad angles. They weren’t just shooting harder or more accurately than me. In the NHL, everybody shoots it hard. They were doing things before the puck even came off their stick to mess with Marty. I told myself after that first practice that I had to become a better shooter or I wouldn’t make it in the league. Since then, I’ve played in hundreds of NHL games and talked to a ton of different goalies. The real secret to scoring goals is all about the release.
