Prospect Info: 2016-2017 Coyotes Prospect Stats

That's actually a great idea. Bracco was lethal on the rush at the Memorial Cup because he could open his feet, turn his hips and make his defender think he was gonna slow up, then leave him in the dust.

I still don't understand why we don't put our prospects in figure skating lessons to enable them to better use edges. Listen to all the NHL players who were on the reality tv show where they get matched with a figure skater and how they all walked out of it indicating how they were now better skaters than when they played. Cale Hulse said that. Raved about it. Worth trying IMO.

Worked well for Jeff Skinner.

I would think that is a large part of what Braid does is to incorporate some "figure skating" style edge work into a player's tool box.

I think she's just teaching power skating. Completely different.

From an article in the Globe and Mail announcing the Coyotes hiring Dawn Braid,

Dawn Braid was barely out of her teens the first time she coached hockey players. It was 1984 when her late father, then owner of the Vaughan Raiders, reached out in hope of improving the skating skills of players on his Junior B team.
His daughter had not only competed in three Canadian national figure-skating championships, but had just begun working as a novice coach at a Toronto-area club.

“My dad felt skating was important,†says Braid, who grew up as one of 11 kids in the Toronto suburbs. “He was looking at it, and he thought [coaching] was something I could pursue beyond figure skating.â€

Good find. Excellent!

Skinner is a former figure skater and it's clear by the way he moves on the ice. Bracco does the same. I've never seen any of Braid's clients move like that. Maybe she doesn't teach those skills to hockey players or maybe her clients are too ingrained to learn that style. Or maybe I'm too ignorant to notice.

question - is Anton Karlsson still a legitimate prospect or has that ship sailed?

Upside is 3rd line.

slated to cross the pond at all?

Don't think so. Jens Looke was signed already. Not a word about Karlsson, either he isn't interested or the Coyotes aren't.

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

His time to come across was in 2015 when he could have played on a team with Connor McDavid and Dylan Strome

Hi everyone!

I was hoping that you'd be able to help me out. I am currently running a fantasy game on the Rangers board. Based on how a prospect is described on HF (i.e. you need to play a certain number of games in the NHL to be considered graduated) I need a list of your teams top 10 prospects if you don't include players drafted in the entry draft this year.

Would you be able to provide me a list of your top prospects prior to this years entry draft, I would really help me out for my game.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not really the best person to answer your question, but since no one else has chimed in I'll give it a go.

For starters, take a look at the first post in this thread which lists our prospects from last season. Subtract those we have parted with such as Dauphin and DeAngelo. Subtract Duclair, don't think we can still call him a prospect. I may be missing someone but to my recollection that is who we have.

If you want our top 10 you could just sort those remaining in the table by ppg and come up with a decent list.

If you are looking for in depth analysis someone else will need to respond, but I think Strome, Keller, and Fischer would be on anyone's top 10. For dmen, Wood might see some playing time with the big club this year.

Hope this helps.

What's the HF definition of prospect? What's the GP number?

 

[lanky]

Strome
Keller
Perlini
Fischer
Wood
Merkley
Capobianco
Hill
MacInnis
Looke

I used 65 NHL games as the cutoff. Dvorak, Chychrun and Crouse are recently graduated.

I'd agree with that list if those are the terms and the timeframe.

 

[flyerslducks]

will wood make the team this year?

 

[Ebb]

will wood make the team this year?

He'll certainly have the opportunity to (as our roster currently stands), but I'm guessing he's first D-man injury call-up, so he might get a good 20 (or so) games in

 

[PhoPhan]

He has a similar skill set to Michael Stone, but Wood is a little more dynamic. If he can improve his skating and decision-making, I think he can legitimately be the 2nd pairing powerplay cannon a lot of folks though Stone was.

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

I like Wood's hands and offensive iq a lot better than Stones

 

[Tad Mikowski]

if Wood lives up to his potential, it will be a total steal of a trade. Boedker is really not missed IMO

What did we do with the Bleackley pick? Was it used for Dineen or to help get Chychrun?

I believe that was the pick that got us DeAngelo which in turn helped get us Stepan. Not 100% sure on that but pretty sure.
