He’s playing against Reedy(Minnesota). I’m watching, nice to see them take matching minors against one another.

I only knew that Norris was on Michigan because my brother is a Michigan fan. I know next to nothing about college hockey.

Gambrell has been killing it so far. Going to have to go to a DU game soon.

He’s also playing with Borgstrom.

He seems to be doing pretty good for them as well. I haven't watched him play, I have no idea who is carrying who or if they're both pulling their own weight. Guess I'll have to go see this weekend. Glass seats are only $30 lol.

Gambrell plays with Borgstrom only on the PP, almost exclusively. His regular linemates are Terry and Lukosevicius. Gambrell has only assisted on 2 of Borgstrom's goals (1 primary, 1 secondary). Borgstrom has not assisted on any of Gambrell's goals. Borgstrom is the superior prospect but by no means is Gambrell's value inflated by Henrik.

Gregor with a goal
Blichfeld with 2 assists
Chemelevski with 2 goals

Nov. 12/17 – OTT (6) – OSH (2) – Ontario Hockey League

First and last goal in this highlight video are Chemelevski's. Love how he correls the pass on the first goal and the move he puts on the goalie. Second goal pure snipe farside.

That’s awesome to hear.

Gregor with back-to-back games with a goal and an assist

 

[Crewouse]

Thoughts on Gregor and Gambrell, do they have top 6 upside?

Thoughts on Gregor and Gambrell, do they have top 6 upside?

From the few games I've seen of Gambrell live, I'd say he will be a middle six player. He reminds me of Couture, but a better skater, more emphasis on passing, and not as good of a shot. Very good in all 3 zones, hard working, high IQ, not flashy, but effective.

Looks like Jeremy Roy is off to a terrible start with the Barracuda.

Because he has 1 assist and 7 shots?

Yes; I should clarify that this is complete stat-watching.

Gregor with a goal
Letunov with an assist

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

Letunov is a guy I've been pulling for since he became one of our prospects. I hope he lights it up in Sj someday.

In today's league, if you are still in college your third year, you aren't likely to become an impact player. Arguably, the Sharks have a lot of AHL depth and perhaps that is why Letunov hasn't gone pro, but considering his underwhelming college numbers, I wouldn't count on it.

You inspired him to score today.

Chmelevski with an assist

McGrew with 2 assists

Does anyone watch Norris play? Is he as useless as his stats show?

7 pts in 12 games ain't too bad

I’ve watched him play twice, he’s not as involved in the play as you would hope. Doesn’t hold onto the puck much or try to make plays. It’s hard to get a read on his talent because of it. He plays in all situations though. I would think he’ll need 2-3 years with Michigan before he makes the jump.

That’s pretty bad for a drafted prospect and pretty much death for a player with top-6 aspirations. For reference, Dylan Larkin (a late July birthday) scores 47 points in 35 games in his draft+1 year at Michigan and he’s looking like a good second liner. Norris needs to be up around a point per game if he projects as a scorer in the NHL.

The sharks don’t draft for that though, so he’s right in line with the third line/bottom pairing dman projections for most sharks 1st round picks.

 

[Bowie22]

We didn't draft him to be a scorer...sad and true.

Yeah that’s true. It’s not Norris’ fault we drafted him way too high.
