Prospect Info: The 2023-2024 Prospects Thread Pt. 3

It's less torture and more continuing to show the minority that want to praise Benning for "building this team" that anything he built he did in spite of his incompetence rather than by any deliberate action.

Who is "praising Benning"? At most someone from time to time will make an offhand comment about how Benning drafted our core players. That's a fact.

Probably important to see if Silvos is any where close to being able to back up Demko next year.

I think they better start thinking longer term than that pretty soon.
Demko's career seems to mirroring Schneider's as far as surgeries and time off.

So glad we kept Willander. He is going to be crucial to keeping the contention window open.

If he can perform at a $4-5 million level on his ELC during the bad OEL years, it's as if that almost doesn't exist.

He should still be on his second contract. Who knows maybe Hughes opts to play with his brothers? If that is the case then Hughes gets traded in 2026. That would bring a haul.
The defence then could look like
Zadorov, Hronek, Soucy, Willander, Pettersson, and another giant, Myers might still be around, he is pretty healthy and still skates great. That would be a stout defence capable of playoff hockey. And cheap. Maybe by then they trade for one or more of Samulsson/Siegenthaler/Bahl/Hague/Schneider/Miller/Xhekaj/Jireck/Ceuleman/?

Xhekaj and Bahl suck. Cuelemans is meh not really in the same class as the rest.

I doubt there would be many that are.

With today's goal Alriksson now has 7 goals over his last 12GP (3 in his last 4GP)...only managed 10 goals in the first 53GP of the season.

Hopefully he can use this and do it over a full season next year

I still think he is one of the most intriguing prospects. Still a long shot, but seems to have the tools, and clearly has the size.

Wouldn't it be something if he morphed into a poor man's Tage Thompson?

 

[sting101]

More likely a poor man's Alex Grenier

 

[Diversification]

A run-of-the-mill Alex Mallet?

 

[Tables of Stats]

A slightly below average Mackenze Stewart even.

 

[VanJack]

Arliksson just turned 19 in February. So at the start of this season, he was basically an 18-year old.

A kid who's 6.6" and 220, who can skate like that, is a bit of a freak show. I mean seriously, how much better can he get when his coordination catches up with his growth?

Seems to me that comparing him to Mackenze Stewart and Alex Grenier is unduly pessimistic.

Alex Grenier - who was a scoring-line AHL player and played 9 NHL games - would be like a 95th percentile result for Alriksson based on where he’s at now.

The Stewart comparison was obviously a joke.

 

[krutovsdonut]

how about an oversized zach mcewen?

I figured you'd get the joke when I called him slightly worse than one of the worst prospects we've had in years.

Who knows? Will it be enough better to compensate for whatever incredible deficiency has led to him being a 0.5PPG CHL player despite being 6.6" and 220, who can skate like that?

It's possible that dude comes in next year and puts up 300 points, but as it stands things look quite grim for an NHL career.

 

[1440]

 

[Lindgren]

thirteen points in his last ten games ...

 

[LemonSauceD]

Hopefully he’s the 2nd coming of Shea Theodore Lol

 

[Raistlin]

That's some good scouting Harvey's crew did there. Most were pessimistic with his pick as he was buried under a really strong squad last year with Perron and Barkey still on the board. He's doing alright.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Ty Young had his likely final start of the regular season Friday, and made 34 save on 36 shots against in PG 9-2 win. Young had an underwhelming first half of the season, but has been playing really well in the 2nd half...here are his final stat lines,

Overall - 37GP 2.79GAA 0.903SV% 23W 11L 2OT/SOL
First half - 19GP ~3.61GAA 0.879SV% 12W 6L 0OT/SOL
2nd half - 18GP ~2.18GAA 0.925SV% 11W 5L 2OT/SOL

Ravensbergen will start the playoffs as the #1, but he's been playing poorly down the stretch (~3.53GAA + 0.866SV% over his last 10GP) , so Young may get an opportunity if he can't course correct.

Probably too focused on his puzzles.

 

[Lindgren]

Josh Bloom had three assists tonight, giving him twenty points in the last eleven games. So, finally the kind of pace one would expect from an over-ager.

 

[VanJack]

Surely Danila Klimovich is hands-down the most disappointing prospect in the Canucks system right now. Will he get into another AHL game? Will he even be back next season?

Becoming a real possibility they loan him to some club in Europe for the last year of his ELC. I guess there's even the possibility they buy him out.

Really hard to wrap your head around--after such a promising season a year ago. But he's just hit the wall.
