Prospect Info: 2018 #5 OA - Barrett Hayton - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Mosby]

^ I've loved Prosvetov's year as well. Good start to playoffs too. He's .947 with 2 wins in 2 games.

We need a cartwheel per game stat on him.

So is Hayton a Coyote next year?

So is Hayton a Coyote next year?

I hope not. I’d want him lighting the lamp with Lafrenierre on his wing at the WJCs, rather than grinding away in the bottom 6 of a low scoring NHL team.

So is Hayton a Coyote next year?

What I saw at the WJC suggested to me that he’s not ready and needs more time. The fact that he’s not AHL eligible made me think he’d be back in the OHL. He’s crushing that league now, so I’m not sure if there’s a lot of benefit to sending him back to it. Tucson seems like the perfect option but it’s not available to us.

My personal preference would be to send him back to the OHL. I can’t predict what will happen though.

His play will dictate where he goes, but I expect him to make the team. Didn't Chayka say something to the effect that if he never had his injury during training camp he had a good chance to make the team?

 

[Mosby]

WJC was 3 months ago though. What if he has a great playoffs and potentially MC?

 

[azcanuck]

Who cares about the WJC. It was a small window.

In today's NHL young guys can play. If he's mature and ready he should play here next season.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

he plays a mature game, so I'd expect him to make it. I don't think he'll get anything more than 14min/gm, but with our team, it's basically three 3rd lines, so everyone gets about that much.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I'm expecting down the middle next year:
Dvorak
Stepan
Hayton
Richardson

I said based on what I saw at the WJC. Not because it’s the best sample but because it’s my only sample. Which is obviously too small. Hopefully the Hounds make the MemCup and we can all get another look.

Seems like just yesterday we were having this same discussion about a certain someone, that we took in the first round. The situation STINKS.

Your input is solid and always welcome.

 

[Imaravencawcaw]

I'd be shocked if he didn't get the 9 game tryout.

Minimum he gets 9 games. He’s got a strong enough 2 way game that I think he can make the jump. Putting up 1.7-2 ppg against predominantly 16/17 year olds doesn’t help him (it also doesn’t hurt his development).

I’m open to Nattie Hattie podcast idea of sending him to europe.

Europe would be ideal.

I think developing his offensive game in the OHL does help him. And not to pick nits but the OHL isn’t predominantly 16/17 year olds. There are only 130 guys in the entire league under 18 with more than 30gp. So about six guys per team. There’s certainly more 18/19 year olds. Not that it really matter to your point. Just a random tangent.

I’m not sure with his foot speed that those huge European Ice sheets and that east/west style of play, that Europe would be the best fit for this particular player.

 

[Mosby]

Europe just seems like an incredible long shot. Has anyone done it besides Matthews?

Europe for a year? The need to work on footspeed and to learn to handle space might be very good for him.

He's already a 1.6 ppg player. I just don't think he has much to prove at that level as he already has a complete 200 foot game. I'd rather see him play against men while being forced to improve speed. He's not going to get that in the CHL. There's no downside of course. I'd just rather see him take a full step forward in his development than go from a 1.6 ppg player to a 1.8 ppg player.

 

[lanky]

I think Europe is a great idea and I wish NHL teams would support that option. I think they might be reluctant to send a player so far away from their control.

The language and culture could be an unnecessary hurdle too.

 

[Mosby]

Another goal and an assist tonight.

 

[Heldig]

Hayton has 4 goals and 4 assists in 4 games. Sits second in OHL playoff scoring (tied with teammate Morgan Frost).

Schnarr has 2 goals and 7 assists in 3 games. Tied for 1st in OHL playoff scoring.

My personal opinion is that if we can't or won't loan him to Europe, keep him with the Coyotes all year. He's not going to be a Calder candidate, but his type of game isn't going to get any better playing at the CHL level. I think, based on my very small sample size of knowledge about Hayton, that he might actually learn more from the press box in the NHL than from ice time in the CHL.

 

[mpir3]

There is a 0% chance a kid from Ontario goes to Europe. I think he makes the team next, hopefully through his play and not Chayka looking to justify his draft postion and/or Strome trade.
