Prospect Info: 2020-21 Prospects Thread (CHL, NCAA, Europe)

Generational

Yeah I read through @Avsboy post about Makar's fancy stats. That G word is forbidden.

 

[Avsboy]

I was kind of trolling the term

 

[The Kingslayer]

Beaucage is not some great prospect. Dude just can't skate at a professional level. You can shoot the pick as hard as you want, but if you can't skate you won't make it. He's like a trailer trash Brett Hull with even worse skating.

You can teach skating you cant teach goal scoring. Hopefully the Avs find him someone who can help him improve his skating.

Yes, but there's limit to everything. His skating is bad for junior level, that will just get more and more exposed as you move up.

Its up to him to put in the work. Not sure what his work ethic is like but he wants to be an NHL'er and the one thing holding him back is skating I would think he would focus on that as much as he can. The Avs should intervene and get him as much help.

Love the Sampo

Sign him at the end of his season or let him play his senior season?

 

[AvsWraith]

3 points (1g,2a) for Barron today.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Sampo does kinda seem like a Kreider type, tons of physical skills, but more likely to create a play from a solo rush than make the most of his linemates

If he can be a 3rd line version of Kreider or Saad I’d be pretty happy with that given our success past the first round in recent memory.

Moose Come Back With a Bang – Halifax Mooseheads

You absolutely sign him this offseason if he continues this pace, no questions asked.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Yup you have got to sign the kid. Cant let him go into that senior year and then basically give him an easy walk into free agency next summer.


He may very well have an NHL future. Not sure in what capacity but that certainly looks like an NHL shot if you ask me, and the physical tools are very clearly NHL caliber. Just a matter of whether what's between the ears is NHL caliber.

 

[tigervixxxen]

They haven’t signed a college senior since Brad Malone. The time is now, if ever. Not like I want him in the AHL but nothing will change by waiting.

And as a bonus it weakens the Goofs!

Between Sampo and Alphabet you’d hope we have at least one decent 2nd line center in the system ready to step in if Bura bolts in after next year.

Between Kovid and Mutant you’d hope we have at least one 3rd line winger ready to step in after next season.

The Avalanche need to sign all four if they haven’t become trade bait.

 

[Metallo]

I like how is teamate is trying to fish out the puck before it crosses the line.

What’s wrong if he starts in the AHL? That’s a step above NCAA. He’s a long shot to crack the roster next year.

Like I said nothing changes by waiting but everyone should be cautious about starting their clock in the AHL.

I’m not sure I understand your point. Are you suggesting that Ranta should refuse a contract this summer and play senior and become FA? That would be best for him?

No, I’d like to see him signed. Although going FA is probably what IS best for him.

Got it.

Isn't there a stat out there that mentions 60-70% of the NHLers nowadays have played in the AHL? Him playing in the AHL is okay, it's not the electric chair.
