Prospect Info: Senators Prospects Watch 2017/2018

[Brannstorm]

Formenton scored for Canada in the first period vs. USports.

tied 1-1 after 1.

Formenton is flying out there. So much speed.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Not that it matters much, but I thought Batherson played mostly center, not wing.

It appears he's trying out at RW for Team Canada.

[Micklebot]

Appears as though both Batherson and Formenton made it through the first round of cuts. 5 more players to be cut before the final roster is set.

 

[Icelevel]

Oh tres bien

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

So...seems like a good chance Formenton is in.

Odds on Batherson making it?

Formenton is basically a lock at this point, Batherson highly likely. IMO of course.

Batherson was always going to be a longer shot but FWIW alot of posters in the WJC Canada thread have Batherson making it. Take that as you will.

Batherson was also on McKenzie's "frontrunners" list even before camps were announced (aka the guys who were just below locks).

He will be traded, if they are trading Luchuk they are gearing up for the next few years.

 

[starling]

Forwards Lind (#33 2017), Glass (#6 2017), Ang (#94 2016) released.
2 more forwards left to be cut after today's game.

 

[starling]

Who you think will be cut?
My guess is Kaspick and Batherson (sadly for Drake that RW depth is too good)

How good is Alex Formenton?
Superscout:
His assessment on Alex Formenton back in September, 2017.
From the Ottawa Senators Forum

You want the REAL scoop on Alex Formenton, here it is:
5'6", 120lbs in his OHL draft yr. Selected 216th (11th rnd).
Played one yr Tier II with Aurora Tigers and grew.
Came to Ldn's camp last September at 6'1", 157lbs.
Finished 1st overall in on-ice testing at CHL Top Prospects testing in Quebec City
and 4th overall in off-ice testing despite being "rail thin" and recorded the best vertical leap.
Reported to Ldn's camp in August prior to going to Sens Main Camp and came in at 6'2", 179lbs.
He has proven "hockey experts" wrong his entire life and continues to do so.
Elite skater who is hungry to succeed and has an edge.
Ton of upside here.
Very similar "hands haven't caught up to his feet" comparable to
Andreas Athasanaous in his rookie yr in Ldn.
Helluva Pick

I wouldn't be surprised if Batherson makes it.. He is a C playing RW and offers C depth if needed

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Glass cut? Hmm.

 

[BondraTime]

Glass cut? Hmm.

He really never looked good, made many errors through camp, similar to his Vegas training camp.

He's a 99', he will be back next year.

I really can't see Batherson being cut. Especially with the guys who are behind the bench.

If I were to guess, Kaspick and Comtois will be released. I love Comtois, really wanted him last year, and the coaches are familiar with him, but I think he is left off for one of the older players.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

No big surprise with Nurmi's upside.. he keeps plugging along though

 

[Agent Zub]

Batherson seems like the kind of guy coaches fall in love with.

[DrEasy]

Glass cut? Hmm.

Sounds painful and gory.

I liked what I saw in Nurmi during the develoment camp & said so. He's a big body with plenty of speed & what really impressed me were his hands. He's got really good hands in close & scored a couple of beauty goals in a couple of scrimmages. I don't recall how he did in the prospects game they had at the Kanata Rec Centre but at the Sensplex drills & scrimmages he was impressive.

However, for me Batherson was the guy who stood out the most because he was hitting guys & flying out there everytime I saw him. Formenton was good too & Brown had his moments as did Chabot, Chlapik, Jaros & White. IMO Ottawa has a number of very good prospects, hopefully they all become good NHL players.

Batherson and Formenton are in!

 

[Six Assets]

Nice. Should be fun to watch.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]
