Prospect Info: 2018 St. Louis Blues Prospect Camp

[Blanick]

End of Team MacInnis practice quick notes.

47 - SCOTT PERUNOVICH (D)
Good God he is tiny. Plays with his head up all the way though and sees the ice well. Making me a believer with his hockey IQ.
53 - AUSTIN POGANSKI (F)
Quick release. Stone hands, fumbled pucks everytime I looked his way.
56 - TY AMONTE (F)
Nothing really stood out. A big bowl of meh.
58 - NIKOLAJ KRAG (F)
Needs to add weight. Good open ice skater, good shot but telegraphs it a bit.
59 - MATHIAS LAFERRIERE (F)
Shifty skater, decent hands. Lackluster shot.
63 - TRENTON BOURQUE (D)
Smooth skater, very limited skill set.
65 - ALEXEY TOROPCHENKO (F)
Big boy, needs to fill out. Skates like the wind.
83 - TANNER KASPICK (F)
Has a real quick shot. Solid on his edges, solid hands.
84 - AUSTIN RUESCHHOFF (F)
Total bean poll, not great skating.
37 - KLIM KOSTIN (F)
Bomb of shot, seems like his edgework improved.
60 - DAVID NOEL (D)
Biggest attribute is his shot. Edgework needs a lot of attention.

 

[Blanick]

Doing some drills with goalies.

Opilka looks good after his injury woes. Drops his glove way too early. Covers a lot of net in his butterfly.

Hofer, very good lateral movement. Seems to kick out rebounds to dangerous areas a lot. Needs to work on rebound control.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

St Louis announces that Robert Thomas is scheduled to miss the 18-19 season with an ACL tear, and the 19-20 season with a different ACL tear

 

[Blanick]

Fitz, waits until the last second to drop to butterfly. Makes himself very big in net and does good job directing rebounds to the corners.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

Okay, now the scrimmage is about to start.

Team MacInnis in blue while Team Tkachuk in yellow.

Usually not a lot of big hits in prospect camp..

Beginning to wonder if there is going to be a scrimmage...

Lots of delays today.

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Thomas injured ankle in his final game with the Bulldogs. Keeping him off of it as a precaution.

Funny when they used him as a headliner to come watch prospect camp

 

[Blanick]

No Robert Thomas for the scrimmage either...

 

[Blanick]

Kostin with heads up play in neutral zone springs Toropchenko all alone. Nice save.

I'll change my name to BluesiestOfBluesies is that happens

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

How does Opilka look considering he hasn't played in a year?

 

[Blanick]

Kostin with a nice pass to LaFerrierre for the goal.

It's Kostins ice out there right now. He is dominating this scrimmage.

 

[Blanick]

McGing ties it and the sets up another quality chance.

 

[Mike Liut]

A lot of people want to include Kostin in trade proposals, but im telling you, hes going to be a monster. He plays with an edge too. He’s the kind of player you go to war with in the playoffs.

Except defensively he’s so far from ready

 

[Blanick]

Bokk scores on the wrap around 3 to 2 blue

 

[Mike Liut]

Except defensively he’s so far from ready

That’s easy to fix.

 

[WeWentBlues]

Kostin and Thompson are both just tossed around endlessly in trade proposals and Kyrou and Thomas deemed as untouchable. I don't want to trade any of them.

 

[The Note in MI]

That’s easy to fix.

I just don’t see it, he’s a perimeter player until he gets pissed off but that’s not often. He’s closer to a fighting berglund than a player you go to war with in the playoffs

 

[Chief Steele]

I disagree with the Bergy comparison.. remember he is 19 he played last year in the AHL were he got 4th line mins... sometimes seen the 3rd due too the Blues AHL situation.. and he hung around to the end of camp last year if I am not mistaken... He has a chip on his shoulder too since he didn't get the call up last year he was told he would by DA... He will end up being a beast for the Blues when its all said and done..
