Prospect Info: Ducks Prospect Info ‘21-22

[Gliff]

Wait, there's more. Durny, Dostal, Eriksson Ek, Andersson, Nickl, Sundsvik and Galimov.

Playing in Europe*

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

To this point, it seems to me that we have at least 8 skater prospects to be legitimately excited about.

I think @Gliff maybe meant playing in Europe with Nickl and Sundsvik when looking at the prospects chart I shared. Galimov is playing in Russia, which isn't part of the European continent. But yes, we do have more non-NA prospects. Technically we have another non-NA prospect, McTavish is Swiss born. heh

 

[Hockey Duckie]

He was -1 in that game
But had 7 shots

OHL is still good for him.

Looking at the Petes' twitter, they advertised McTavish vs Shane Wright. Each scored a goal against each other. Wright had a PP assist. That's all the damage Wright did in the game. McTavish's line did get scored against twice, but it looked like the Petes' netminder isn't all that great on the goal scored by Frasca. Turned out that goalie was benched after that fifth goal. Anyhow, Wright was a +0 in the game.

On the box score page, they have a video game recap: link

That seems about right, although I was including Kukkonen and omitting LaCombe (on purpose, I don't love him as a prospect). Which means I miscounted and there are 9 (or 10, I guess, depending on how you feel about Kukkonen).

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I like Hinds & Cage more than Kukkonen.

 

[GunnarStahl]

Cage? Do you mean Gage Alexander?

 

[Anaheim4ever]

With you there. He doesn't appear to be more than an AHL/NHL tweener to me. In contrast, Thrun I'm looking forward to seeing even if he tops out as a bottom pairing guy. Guy just seems so solid all-around.

Kukkonen has a goal in his first game back in the lineup. McLaughlin also has a goal and LaCombe an assist for Minnesota.

Pastujov has only one shot through 1.5 periods as his lull continues.

Someone's ears were burning; pastujov scores his 19th.

Wonder what the lul with pasta is from?

I keep expecting him to pop early, but he doesn't. Got shell shocked at the WJC's. Has a pattern of starting slow offensively, but he's one of the top-3 or top guy in blocked shots for the past three seasons. He leads the team with 21 blocked shots this year the next closes having 17 blocked shots. Last year, he was third on the team with 33 block shots with the highest being 39 and second highest 36. Two years ago, he finished second with 61 blocked shots with the highest being 68. But I have to keep reminding myself the he's still learning to play defense as he converted from forward in high school. He's project and could be worth waiting for to develop. That was the gamble the scouting group took when drafting him.

I'm not mad b/c the player I wanted at 29th and 39th was selected in the 4th round in D Thrun.

 

[GunnarStahl]

Alexander gets an assist, however he loses his shutout bid half way though the game

Zellweger first star of the game. 27 points in 19 games.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Zellweger first star of the game. 27 points in 19 games.

As a defenseman. That if he was born 5 days later would be in this upcoming draft. Absolutely ridiculous production.
