Prospect Info: 2020-21 Prospect Info

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Alex Nedeljkovic sounds like a speedy winger without particularly good skills. He would tease you occasionally to think he could score 20 goals and be top 6, but always ends up as a pker who plays bottom 6 and scores 10, but fans still love him due to his effort.

Nedeljkovic, Larose, sure why not very similar

uh, Chad LaRose WAS top 6, dummy.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

What are your thoughts on Alex Nedeljkovic? I have him in fantasy hockey and a few guys keep trying to get him from me. Is there something I should know? Does he have hidden potential?

Alex Needlenose has some raw skills and athleticism but he’s kind of a spaz in net and has lacks awareness and positioning. Like a less polished version of Mrazek which is a weird thing to say.

Imagine being Chad LaRose and being able to introduce yourself as a top-line NHL’er.

You just needed to stop at “Imagine being Chad LaRose.”

And a Stanley Cup champion.

Ryan Suzuki is looking good for team Canada GP-5 G-1 A-3 Pt-4. All inter squad games looks like he is playing well. So much talent

Article from February. I didnt know Michigan was the one to say thanks but we’re going another direction.

Was going to add an article on Drury but its behind a pay wall. I wanted to continue the Bokk to Bokk thing with back to back Jacks. Oh well.

 

[GoldiFox]

Jarvis and Rees cut. Suzuki makes the final roster.

Canes in the WJC has whittled down quite a bit with Puistola, Jarvis, Rees, Nikishin, and Pashin out.

Team Sweden should be fun to watch with Gunler and Nybeck. Plus Suzuki was playing on the #1PP for Canada. Ponomarev for Russia.

 

[Byron Bitz]

f***in bullsh*t cutting Seth Jarvis he’s better than half those players

 

[A Star is Burns]

Only reason why I even care is the lack of other playing options this year.

 

[spockBokk]

The bright side of Rees and Jarvis being cut is that perhaps now they can make it to the big club’s training camp. They likely have no chance to stick, but it’d be nice to get them both to Raleigh and allow the team to get a gauge of where they’re both at.

Rees has only been to the one rookie camp after he was drafted and Jarvis has yet to get into town. Maybe it’d also be a good time to get them both signed to ELCs as well.

Jarvis very likely makes it if Dach and Byfield aren’t there. Any other year, Jarvis would be a shoe-in, at least in my estimatation. I think out of Jarvis and Rees, the omission of Rees is much more of a headscratcher based on camp reports.

I’m excited to see Ponomarev for Russia and hopefully Gunler and Nybeck for Sweden. Hopefully also Suzuki gets some meaningful ice-time.

An interesting side to this is if they don't have an active junior team they are required to be sent to, it'll be interesting to see if they can be signed and put on the taxi squad or in the minors as long as that's the case.

Did they change the W/ OHL start again? It was January.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Rees definitely deserved to be there based on reports. Guy is a gamer and looks to be a good 2nd/3rd line wrecking ball for us.

Jarvis is younger than a lot of the others at camp so they’re probably thinking he’ll be there next year. Jarvis was most likely on the fence as a pick but they opted for players with more experience from last year. He’s a good one and will be there soon. Byfield definitely didn’t deserve to make the team based on his camp but he’s getting in on pedigree

 

[A Star is Burns]

Not that I've heard. I'm just skeptical.

 

[bleedgreen]

I’m annoyed about Rees but he had competition. Sounded like he had earned it, and you’d think they’d focus on adding role players to round out the team vs all stars.

 

[Caser]

Ponomaryov has made it to the Team Russia WJC roster.

On the other hand, Nikishin didn't make it (I guess mainly due to the lack of IIHF permit and possibly because of being injured now too) and, imo, that's the biggest loss for the team.

I thought they had reported he was ineligible due to the "heart condition"?

 

[Caser]

I thought they had reported he was ineligible due to the "heart condition"?

Yeah, that's what I mean. Still there were slight hopes that it could be done, as both the KHL and the Canes are ok with his health, but I guess not in the covid era.

 

[Finster8]

I thought Rees was a lock. They were impressed with how he played after the scrimmages. At one point they had Perfetti and Rees as the 13+14th forward which was ridiculous. Sorry about being pissed but Rees should be on that club.

Gotcha...yea I'm not sure either what kind of issue makes him eligible to play regularly but not WJC/IIHF? Unless they feel it increases his "risk" factor during COVID? But they're doing WJC in a bubble where he's probably safest? Would it be conspiracy theorist of me to say it's actually because he lays big hits and they don't like anyone but Canada doing that at WJC
