Prospect Info: Sharks Prospect Info & Discussion Thread XX

[Hobocop]

Ozzy Wiesblatt and the Milwaukee Admirals came back from being down 2 games to 0, beating the Texas Stars three games to two to advance last night. Wiesblatt had himself a decent little series, a goal and two assists in 5 games. Admirals are even using him on the power play.

Preds 1st rounder Zach L'Heureux put up nine points in that series. Admirals have Radim Simek and the Griffins in the division finals next, starting Wednesday.

Caps are apparently waiting for Smith to make a decision and if he chooses the NHL they are going to try and pressure Leonard to leave also.

Watching London/Oshawa Game 3 on delay now (started it late because I was watching baseball)

London is so loaded that in spite of Halttunen being only a couple goals back of the OHL playoff scoring lead they have him on their 3rd line.

I also didn't see Sennecke listed in the Oshawa lineup. I was hoping to maybe watch him a bit since he's a name who could be in the Sharks' wheelhouse with the 14th pick.

Is Halttunen the greatest goal scorer of our generation???

I don’t think it’s too early to say yes 100%

It's gonna be weird when he sets the record for PP goals in a season by 15.

I genuinely still don’t understand what we have in him as a player. It’s undeniable that his shot is insane.

He should get an extended look in camp next year. I don't see any reason for him to go back to London

Let him go back to basically any team not named London to get a true feeling of what he actually is.

Is he eligible for the AHL? I’d be curious to see him with Bystedt next year..

Nope NHL or OHL

No. Stupid agreement with the C

What are his options?

 

[Cas]

What are his options?

He has a European assignment clause. Otherwise London would have to trade him elsewhere or he'd have to play for the Sharks.

I assume London would have no reason to trade him.

I do too, but I don't follow the CHL and don't know how common trades are there.

 

[The Nemesis]

I'm through 2 periods of Oshawa/London. It's 6-2 Generals but Halttunen has one of the two London goals on a nice snipe on the powerplay.

 

[The Nemesis]

I'm at 8:30 left in this game (I know I'm well behind live) and Halttunen has his second goal of the game to bring London back to within 2. It also gives him the OHL playoff scoring lead.

 

[knu]

8 points for him in 2 games. Holy moly.

 

[LadyStanley]

 

[Jargon]

It’s tough because I’d like to see him playing 1st line minutes there (he primarily plays 3rd line I think) and see him dominate in all areas of the ice but similar to Musty I sorta wonder, what else is he going to learn in a league where he puts up 2 hat tricks in 2 games?

 

[The Nemesis]

With 3 minutes left London has tied the game.

Halttunen has another hat trick too.

Game sounds bonkers

 

[CaptainShark]

Not to nitpick, but it’s 7.

He „only“ had a Hattrick in game 2, the assist he was credited with originally has been taken away… (never showed up in the box when I checked a few hours after the game, only know about it from this place)

 

[The Nemesis]

Game sounds bonkers

It has been. And I just got to the end: London storms back from being down 5-1 at one point to win 7-6 in double OT. Halttunen had an assist on that OT winner.

A secondary assist (somewhere Will Smith makes the Metal Gear Solid alert noise)

 

[Shark Finn]

Is Halttunen the greatest goal scorer of our generation???

Just ask Gretzky.
