Prospect Info: 2019-20 Prospects Thread (CHL, NCAA, Junior A, Europe)

[AKL]

Newhook is being spoonfed into the line-up on a very talented team. BC's top 5 scoring forwards (4 of whom were NHL draft picks) are all upperclassmen. I don't recall even seeing him on the power play when they played DU.

I'd have rather he gone to a less talented college team to get more all situations expose (like Makar at ZooMass), but BC produces plenty of pros.

This isn't exactly true. Boldy and Newhook are getting some good minutes, and BC doesn't have that great of a roster. Yeah, they have a few drafted players, but most of them are guys who likely don't project to be NHL players, or at the very most are bottom 6 guys. And that doesn't explain why they're not producing like other guys such as Turcotte, Caufield, Zegras, Brink. They'll turn it around, I'm sure, but you'd like to see it happen real soon. This weekend maybe. Though Providence will be a tough matchup.

Annunen another shutout with 36 saves today.

Avs might have something with this guy.

Morrison with 3 apples in ND’s 5-3 come from behind (phrasing) win at Minisoda today. Brings his totals to 2 goals & 6 assists through 6 games.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Morrison was always gonna take a long time to put it all together if he ever did, hopefully this is a good sign.

 

[Freudian]

Morrison does have the option to Butcher us.

No mention that Leivermann had two goals in that game as well?

Also if there is a player who might project better at the junior game than college it has to be Ranta. He had a bad second half of the second during his freshman year, had a fantastic WJC summer showcase, and has had a slow start to the season projecting on Golden Gophers first line. I am still not the biggest fan of him, but he made me more optimistic at the WJC, but it seems he still needs a high IQ centre to get the most out of him.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Now, his 3rd assist was a stat padder on an EN goal. He also pestered the goalie on NDs’ PP goal to open their scoring. Also, Avs D prospect Nick Lievermann scored goal #1 & 3 for the Irish.

@S E P H a thousand apologies.

If Ranta was in the CHL, he'd be dominating. His physical skill set is so good... but that brain. Kid can't read or think the game at a good enough level right now. At least it holds expectations in around here! If he was dominating the OHL, there would would be calls for him making the opening night lineup.

I wish that he was proving me wrong, but people being reminded just how much of a dumb-dumb he is; probably isn't the worst thing for expectations around here.

Got it. Working on a project so I can't ramble on in response yet, but I've opened it in a new tab for whenever I'm done putting this binder together

You make him sound like a North Dakota student.

If he can be an effective dumb-dumb player, a la Kreider, then I won't care how dumb-dumb he is. I guess we'll need to draft a really smart center to do the thinking for him, though.

For sure, as I mentioned I disliked the pick, but I do give Avs credit for some balls and picking a lad as risky as him. It will be interesting to see because I think his physical attributes and shot are NHL level, but as you said his brain is very hit or miss.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Anyone have much of a chance to watch Tyler Weiss so far this season? He seems to be off to a pretty decent start with 4 points in his first 5 games. I did see he scored 2 last game Saturday night.


I guess the biggest question for him is gonna be his size and whether he can put on enough muscle to handle the more mature physical NHL game. Has he gotten any bigger since last year?

So how soon is too soon to write off Stienburg?

 

[AegonLeConqueror]

Probably 15 seconds after we picked him.

I’m all seriousness, didn’t he have a pretty solid rookie camp? Haven’t heard much about him since tho.

 

[henchman21]

He's also started out the season on the top line at Cornell.

I like you mate, but this is a ridiculous take. He's jumping from CISAA to NCAA, him playing games is a success for me.
