Prospect Info: Hurricanes Prospect Info and Discussion - Part VI

Do PTOs work like that for international players? serious question, as I can't recall seeing it in the past but then again we haven't really been in the position until recently anyway.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to burn a contract year for a few AHL games.

Saarela counts as U20 player so playing in AHL wouldn't burn a year from his ELC. 1+1 so far today. So 6 points in last 3 games.

 

[CandyCanes]

Wallmark 1G + 2A tonight. Kid is on fire the past 2 months or so in the AHL.

 

[CandyCanes]

Not sure how to connect the tweet on my phone. But some guy said Saarela is hopping over to North America once the season is over on Monday.

And put the tweet tags around this 840522422851911681



EDIT: just quote my post and you can see how to do it.

this is really a super interesting situation. with Saarela's "struggles" this year (some say, self-inflicted), it will be interesting what his path is. obviously the AHL makes sense, but if it burns a contract year, I could see Ronnie strategically playing his hand on this.

Regardless, based on some reports, he needs to get into a conditioning program, learn and follow a nutrition plan, and perhaps, even look at attitude adjustment. kid's got loads of talent and over the last week or 10 days he's back on the scoring train.

This all sounds vaguely familiar.

 

[GoldiFox]

I'd burn a contract year for Saarela to get him on the right track with the Checkers and possibly help them with their Playoff push. If Charlotte falls out permanently then call him up for a few Canes games to end the season.

 

[Vagrant]

Saarela basically comparing himself to Sidney Crosby sort of drained any enthusiasm I had for him. Something to the effect of "Crosby's coach doesn't make him backcheck".... okay man. Sure. I know some of that might have been lost in translation but damn.

Between Saarela shooting himself in the foot and Kuokkanen's abysmal season post-November, it's been a tough year for our Fins not named Aho.

 

[CandyCanes]

Callum Booth named #1 star of the week for the QMJHL.


If he becomes are goalie of the future can we all yell "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH" every time he makes a stop?

I'm gonna have to find a new team.

Nah, we'll be yelling:

Callum - da - dum - dum

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

LOL..talking about one of our goalie prospects making it in the NHL as if that would ever happen.

He must play against Lundqvist.

Then we can have posters with, "Sic Semper Tyrannus!".

There are two Canes draft picks playing goal in the NHL right now. There's only two per team. I'd call that a push

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Aleksi Saarela might be coming to NA. Lukko didn't make it to the playoffs and now it's for the Canes organization to decide whether he can come and play here.

With McClement out for a few weeks. Guys like Zykov, Wallmark, and PDG are probably going to be up here in Raleigh for a bit, I'm guessing the Canes/Checkers will take the help from Saarela to help push them into the playoffs.

Sounds like Zykov and PDG may not be close to being healthy enough to play themselves? Zykov left the ice before the skate today and from what Peters said, PDG can skate, but isn't able to shoot the puck yet so didn't see him as "close" to returning.

Regardless though, your point is valid though re: checkers maybe needing help.

 

[MinJaBen]

Goalie help incoming...



...and I am glad to see his signing. He has been playing great all year. Hopefully he continues to improve next year as well.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Is he old enough to play in Charlotte, or would he have to stay in QC next season?

 

[A Star is Burns]

Looks like he's 20 in May, so he could play AHL if they choose.

 

[DaveG]

Only 3 prospects right now left to be signed are Smallman, Lorentz, and McLovin.

 

[CandyCanes]

Just noticed Booth has the top save % in the QMJHL. Pretty impressive. With his solid season and Ned's disappointing season, you guys think he is now our top goalie prospect?
