Prospect Info: 2021-2022 Prospect Info

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I assume Ty Nash from Arizona is Tyson Nash’s son.

You are correct, per EliteProspects, who not only has already become the best hockey stats site out there, but is probably better at lineage than Ancestry.com.

The Central gang is back together

Any idea if this is something that fans could go to? May be in the Tampa area in September, would be fun to check out if possible.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Very excited about this. Several of our big prospects, a few of the newbies, and some intriguing invites.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

The only bad thing about the "get as many darts as possible" strategy (one I think I've been the most vocal about than anyone as far as thinking it's a great idea) is that I think I'm going to have to stop having a summary level of knowledge of all of our prospects, there's just too many.

I forgot Justin Robidas existed until that post, and he's the son of a freaking NHLer.

And the thing is, if a bunch of darts pan out as potential role players, they become picture-perfect trade bait for the next rebuilding club du jour in 4-5 years.

You would think they could do a pay per view streaming deal. Not huge income but all the clubs need $.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Im most excited about Bryce Montgomery playing for the first time in a long time, seeing Makiniemi and Drury against peers, and Seeley and Murray a chance to balloon their prospect status.

 

[Svechhammer]

Oh bah I didn't even see this thread.

That said, I say the same thing I said then. If and when Orr makes it to the show, give him #4 and play him again the Bruins in a game where we're wearing Whalers stuff. I wanna see Jack Edwards whine.

Hmm, must be a glitch in the Matrix
Prospect Info: - #136OA - Hurricanes select RW Robert Orr

Oh, he has to be number 4 if he ever suits up against Boston just to see Jack Edwards have a meltdown.

That's an Old Money WASP name if I ever saw one.

The Central gang is back together

Interesting that the Caps are rotating out for the Cats from the showcase 2 years back. Wouldn't be surprised if they decided not to be involved in a prospect showcase this season given the more intense restrictions in the DC area compared to Nashville, Raleigh, and the 2 Florida locations.

I assume Ty Nash from Arizona is Tyson Nash’s son.

Would have been more intriguing if it were Steve Nash's son, which given the location would also be possible

Tucker Robertson sounds a lot like a Canes late round draftee. Smaller with a bunch of speed. He could be a good dark horse invitee. His rookie year was cut short and then the year where his usage would increase didn’t happen.

Ritchie seems like a defensive defender who was too small to get a ton of interest. Shorter is okay when you are an offensive defender.

Brodin and Spurgeon are really good smaller defenders.

Possibly another good choice. My only reservation is all the scouts that were fighting over the chance to see Shane Wright, you figure someone would have saw enough to draft Ritchie.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Why exactly do we care? He's a prospect tourney body.

Oh yeah no comment on Ritchie himself. never seen him play or heard anything about him.

It's August lol

Why not discuss hockey things?

 

[hblueridgegal]

Nice form.

 

[spockBokk]

The Canes really must have liked the 2018 draft. They now have 3 players taken in that first round (Svechnikov, Kotkaniemi and Bokk) either on roster or in their system.

Liiga preseason action

JYP: Honka played almost 17 minutes and had an assist on the game winning goal

Assat: Killinen played 17:22
Heimosalmi played 13:37


QMJHL preseason opens up again today

 

[Mara]

Ville Koivunen played his first official men's league game in Finland today and scored a goal! Overall a very strong showing and I would be surprised if he's dropped from the roster any time soon.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Pronman lists Drury as our prospect to watch during camp. Slightly surprised Drury over Jarvis. Not too surprised as Drury is more league ready.

I agree that Drury and (at least IMO) Ryan Suzuki are the two guys to watch in camp. I still think, though, that all of them will be assigned to the AHL in the end. Can't see either beating out Leivo and Lorentz, at least to start the season.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Drury needs some time to adjust to NA ice. Too much too soon to expect him to crack the main roster.
