2018-2019 CHL/NCAA/Euro Prospects (Part II) Thread

[Stive Morgan]

any rumors on Brook? I fear they may not trade him since they are in a playoff spot.



tough year for injuries to the prospects, Ikonen, Tyszka, now Hillis.

I have heard nothing about Brook besides pure hypothetical speculation. I highly doubt he gets moved.

 

[Tyson]

Walford still looks like he could develop into a legit prospect

 

[De Montreal]

It's obviously early, but any idea to which Habs prospects might play in the WJC next year aside from Ylonen, Romanov and Olofsson?

Kotkaniemi is highly unlikely for obvious reason. Maybe a guy like Hillis or McShane? Fonstad? Stapley?

I don't think Ylonen is junior eligible next year. Nor is Stapley. Could be wrong.

Only current prospects eligible for the WJC next year are:

- Kotkaniemi
- Romanov
- Olofsson
- Hillis
- Harris
- McShane
- Fonstad
- Houde

Ylönen, Gorniak, and Stapley won't be eligible.

Romanov and olofsson are locked
Harris makes team USA I think

Ylonen nor Stapely are eligible. So I only see harris and maybe Hillis making in addition to next years draft haul

Fonstad with an assist. He's now got 16 points in his last 11 games.

Prince Albert take the lead. Fonstad with another assist.

Fonstad with a third assist in OT for the game winner.

18 points in 11 games.

And he's now close to a PPG player with 33 pts (11G, 22A) in 35 games.

Yolo and Romo are doing their best to turn our big 3 prospects into a big 5.

Yolo and Romo are doing their best to turn our big 3 prospects into a big 5.

It's still early and they haven't played the greatest teams but I've said that the bad thing about our first 4 picks from 2018 is they're all playing in men's leagues which of course is great but the lack of production can't help but colour our evaluations. People initially got excited that Romanov made the KHL but then seemed to quickly forget and were all wondering why he isn't scoring.

Ylonen seems to be picking it up of late but I was worried myself a bit. Really want to see how he can do against better teams but he looks to have just about everything you could want. Borderline elite (if not elite) skill set with really good effort levels. I'd like to see him shoot more and get stronger but granted I only seen the one game and for his slender build he didn't necessarily look weak. Got in lots of battles. Didn't necessarily win them all but generally did well. He's pretty tenacious and fairly gritty. Didn't shy away from the front of the net and the dirty areas.

Pretty excited about these 2. I hope Romanov can display a bit more creativity if I was to nitpick but even without it he can clearly be a player.

 

[montreal]

watched a little of Harris today, the game was on early as it's a holiday tournament in Vermont. He didn't do too much, his team won in OT.

 

[Adam Michaels]

- McShane with a goal. His 12th of the season.

- Houde with an assist.

- Teasdale with a shorthanded goal. His 18th of the season.

- Fonstad with an assist so far.

All games are still going.

McShane scored his second of the game and 13th of the season to make it 5-2. Oshawa ends up winning it 6-2.

Fonstad adds an empty-net goal. His 12th of the season. He ends the game with a goal and an assist. He's now had at least 2 points in his last 5 games.

35 pts in 36 games now. And has 20 pts in his last 12 games.

 

[montreal]

No stapley today for Denver, must be injured

 

[Adam Michaels]

No stapley today for Denver, must be injured

Yes he is. The game sheet had him listed as a scratch with the letters (inj.) next to him.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Victoria is up 5-2 against Lethbridge after two periods. Walford with an assist so far.

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

wow. beauty. like this kid. are we gonna have contract room for all these guys next year?

 

[Stive Morgan]

Fonstad appears to be back in proper form. 35 points in 36 games, including 20 points in his last 12 games as mentioned above. I guess having Leason at the WJC (and Protas) will boost his ice-time for a bit.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Blainville traded Pascal Corbeil to Baie-Comeau. Stephane Leroux mentions that this deal may open the door to an eventual trade involving Teasdale to Baie-Comeau.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Don't know how much I'm allowed to say but I've been hearing talk about Tyszka being moved to an Eastern Conference team at the deadline. This team has been scouting him and another teammate of his pretty heavily all season and a deal seems pretty likely to me because it fills the holes in their lineup as they prepare for a playoff run. I hope it happens, I'd like to see Tyszka make one more Memorial Cup run in (presumably) his final year of Junior.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Yup. Already this season you see some of the Habs draft picks and UFA signings shine.

Evans, Fleury, Vejdemo, and Alain in particular.

Vejdemo isn't an offensive dynamo, but he is real good and real smart. And it shows he's had professional experience in Europe. Considering he's a 3rd Round Pick, people should like what he brings. He's real good on the PK.

Alain has adjusted slower than the others, but the more games he plays, the more you see him bring something to the table. He's got a major league shot, and has got some grit to his game.

Seeing them do well in their first year in Laval gives me hope. And to think that some of the team's more exciting prospects could join them in Laval next year is all the more exciting.

Also to keep in mind that McCarron and Audette, who have been prospects for a few years now have both taken a step in the right direction this season.

Even McNiven looked good when Lindgren went down with an injury. And even Lindgren looks better this year than he did last season. He looks more like the All-Star goalie he was in his rookie season.

Good things are coming for Montreal.

yeah I really really think our pool's better than it's been in a long long time. The quantity and quality is very solid. Early returns on the guys in the last THREE drafts (yeah I said it! Mete and Sergachev are still young with a lot of promise) are very good.

As much as Romanov is deserved in his hype I still think I might be more impressed with Ylonen. The x-factor though is that Romanov is a year younger. Still want to see what Ylonen can do against better teams (didn't watch the Sweden game) but he was just so dynamic. Really smart playmaker. Skating's elite. Would love for him to get a promotion to the top 6 and put up some big numbers. Kid could actually have the tools to be a play driver in the bigs if not an amazing complimentary player. People have their nagging doubts about Suzuki and Poehling but Ylonen could be the best of the bunch. All 3 could be really nice additions to our top 9.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Houde scores to open the scoring for Chicoutimi.

His 8th of the season. His 5th point in 5 games. Hopefully like Fonstad, after being cold for a long time, he picks up his production, as well.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Stapley out again tonight.
