Prospect Info: Rhett Pitlick (2019, #131)

[montreal]

when watching his games keep an eye out his teammate Tyler Dunbar, who i've heard is highly rated for the '22 draft, he's committed to North Dakota in '22-'23.

North Dakota? That means the Sens will draft him. Don't they have like 3 or 4 of their prospects there already?

Pitlick in the line-up tonight for Muskegon's preseason game. He's playing 1LW:

they broke up the top line from last year Pitlick Berg Gushchin, that's surprising though we'll see if it lasts as they were the best line in the games i saw last year.

I thought he already signed his NLI, but then again I was certain he was slated to go to Minnesota this year, i wonder if there was an issue with his grades. Next year's incoming Freshman forward class for Minnesota is massive, going to be interesting to see what kind of role he has and how much ice time he gets

I'm almost positive he committed and signed his letter of intent last year, I guess I must be wrong about that.

He is a 2002 and got picked in 2019, did i miss something here?

For some reason, HockeyDB got him as a 2002 but he is born in 2001. EliteProspects has the right DOB.

Rhett Pitlick traded to Tri-City Storm.

Thanks to @canadiensnation



Looks like Pitlick wanted to be traded.

It will be interesting to see what he does in college.

He'll certainly have to a kate bloomer. But with all that speed, anything seems possible.

Pride on Ice Profile: Rhett Pitlick - University of Minnesota Athletics

A little profile video on Pitlick, who will finally be making his debut with the Gophers this season. He's not on the best trajectory to make it with the Habs someday but with his plus plus skating I haven't 100% counted him out either. I'll catch a game or two during the season for sure. On an unrelated note, he sorta looks like a young Sigourney Weaver in Alien now, which got a chuckle out of me

yea that plus plus speed and acceleration certainly could get him some NHL games one day but I have not been too impressed with him, for someone with that speed I wish he would move his feet more.

He's going to be in tough to get TOI as Minnesota should be right there with Michigan as the top 2 teams in the Big 10 I would think. They are bringing back one of the best goalies in the NCAA so that alone should help. Plus their coach was Poehling's former coach at SCSU, though I don't know if he's still going to after his son died this summer, a teammate of Jack Smith's at HS and the USHL.

I don't expect he'll be playing a lot, early on at least. You never know I guess, he's an older freshman and all.

Pitlick will be wearing #77 for Minnesota:

I'll get around to posting a vid of his game vs Gorniak last night at some point in the coming week

Pitlick turns 21 today:

Pitlick named Big 10 2nd Star of the Week:




The kid has started to get rolling in the NCAA.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Pitlick is on a 4-game point streak, where he has 7 pts (3G, 4A).

He also has 10 pts (3G, 7A) in his last 11 games.

 

[Prairie Habs]

How much college eligibility does he have left? Feels like the type of thing where if he was going to sign with us at the end of the year anyway the team would give him one game (game 82 probably) with his brothers before starting him in the AHL next year.

Having 3 Potlick's in the organization at once: I really hope this era in Habs history isn't remembered for things like this because there's nothing else to remember. Kind if like the Houle era, where our memories are of Dackell-Juneau-Bullis, or the big scoring line Zholtok-Perreault-Petrov...
