Nice writeup. Regula is promising. Gonna be a interesting to see how he handles the big step up to the A.

Brock, have you heard anything about Brett Neumann signing anywhere?

I want Stan Bowman to toss him a contract.

Formers hawks prospect Ryan Shea is set to sign with Dallas. No word on if it’s a elc or Ahl deal.

He was pretty good with Northeastern this year, but as a senior his role was pretty much just to bully younger guys (at least, that's what he did against BU). Our other D prospects are better.

Agreed. Looked really good in the bean pot tourney this year but 5 years after his draft season. Don’t have much of a issue with the hawks not signing him

Shea is 23 1/2 cam morrison is 22 in 2 weeks. the fact cam is young makes me hope that he has one more growth to his game.

Actually it's the other way around. Shea didn't want to sign with the Hawks

Then f*** him

Who's a better prospect, Shea or Kalynuk?
I lean toward Kalynuk so I'll take that tradeoff but I could be wrong.

Would say kalynuk but there are more informed folks then me

Seems like Kalynuk. His speed seems to be elite. Shea doesn't have a single tool remotely close to elite.

 

[kmwtrucks]

I would go at this point very close but Kalynuk is very good skater so I would say he has more upside also maybe a bigger frame to add some weight.

Former hawks 7th round pick d-man jake ryzcek signs with the Indy fuel. Played on a Ahl last year with Rockford.

Pronman just started his organizational rankings last week on The Athletic. Will be interesting where the Hawks fall. He's changed the rankings to include all U23 NHLers and players with rookie eligibility under age 26.

Pronman: 2020-21 NHL organizational rankings

Ooh interesting that he changed it that way. That'll be good content.

Powers ($): Ranking the Blackhawks' top 40 prospects

Powers ($): Ranking the Blackhawks' top 40 prospects

Some of those rankings...yikes

Dennis Gilbert and John Q over Alec Regula?

Delia over Barratt and Kurashev?

I like highmores game, but #9? I mean if Vlasic hits his ceiling he’ll end up a much better player than highmore.

Maybe I’m too high on Regula?

 

[TheDoorDoctor]

I think Powers ranks players based off how close they are to playing an nhl game tomorrow cause the idea of regula, kurashev, barrat and beaudin being below delia( who caps as a back-up golaie) is silly.

also Dach, Boqvist and Nylander are not prospects...

Powers is using Pronman's prospect criteria for internal consistency (i.e. all U22 are eligible). I think you're right, though, that Powers is deeming prospect value by how likely they are to make the NHL, rather than how likely it is that they will be impact NHL players. I would agree that the latter approach is more interesting. Delia's a big head-scratcher either way.

I'm looking forward to his pro career but I think a lot of folks on this board are going to be pretty disappointed in Regula.

I think that depends on what you think of his ceiling.

I think he could end up a really good shutdown guy with size. Probably won’t give you much offense. Honestly the Hawks desperately need more of these types in the system.

I'm expecting a solid bottom pairing guy a la Koekkoek that plays a heavy game. In no way am I expecting him to score like he did in the OHL. Too much to ask?
