[Kaners Bald Spot]

He included Boqvist, which I wasn't expecting. That explains a lot.

It does, but his rationale for including him is sound.

Wheeler's prospect evaluations are really good. As to his team ranking, no idea, but the guy knows his stuff.

MAXIM SHALUNOV now has equaled his goals(14) and points (25) production of last season already in 8 less GP......It took hom 47 games last season to get to these totals ...but he has done it in 39 GP this season so far.

Not that he is any great scoring star in the KHL ...but probably ok for a guy not used on the top line of CSKA...hard for 2nd line guys to be the big scoring stars in that league.

His contract of course ends after this season and he probably wants to try the NHL...but Hawks to sign him would probably have to include an out clause to let him go back to the KHL if he fails to stick on the Hawks roster for the Show in 2020/21.

He may be necessary because of cap reasons since they probably have to trade Saad to get cap space...

He's 27. If he was inclined to come over, I think he'd be here already.

I figure Shalunov is a Plan A if the Hawks move Saad or Strome.

Completely over Shalunov. He had a chance to sign here a few years ago and step right in to a top 9 spot on a good team and passed. Zero expectations with him going forward.

Would be nice to see him come over.

 

[Muffinalt]

Wheeler has Shea at 7th best prospect (including Boqvist), so I'd say definitely worth signing. An under the radar guy, for sure.

I was really surprised to see him at 7th. Didn't rate him much before, but the write up makes it sound like he's a pretty good prospect going forward. I'll watch him more, never hurts to have another D man with some potential.

When can I collect my $1.2M?

Vlasic is a defensive gem in the making.
Plays within his strengths, keeps the cover on his defensive position, not giving up space in pursuit.

For a 1st year as a full 18yr old College d-man, pretty impressive

OK, just one game viewing, but really liked what I saw.
Wise, nice motor , needs to up the creativity for advancement opportunity.
Not a lot of ice time in 3rd and don’t think he had any at all in the the two O/T’s.

Was actually gonna post about Vlasic. Tuned in to watch wise and honestly forgot Vlasic was on that team until he was the one I noticed more of. He plays real well in his own zone and uses that long stick really effectively on the PK. All clean exits coming off his stick out of the zone. Like you said looked really strong for an 18 year old freshman on defense.

Hes the perfect compliment to what we already have in our defensive prospects.

He is going to look really good playing next to Boqvist or Mitchell.

For anyone interested hawks D prospect Ryan shea is playing on NHL network. Beanpot Northeastern vs Harvard.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Shea with a empty net goal and a assist. Won 3-1 onto the championship game in the beandip bowl.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Not prospects. But Rockford sign Rw Garrett Mitchell to a pto. Releae Peter Quennville from his.

Gabriel Gagné seems to be doing well for Rockford

 

[CallMeShaft]

Does anyone know if this Garrett Mitchell guy is related to Ian??? Looked around and couldn't see if there was any relation, but was curious if Bowman was pulling a Sikura by picking up a family member to play in Rockford?

I don’t think so. Ian has a younger brother but it’s not him. I know Ian had an uncle who played in the NHL. Could be a cousin but I don’t think so.

Not saying there is anything there with him. But he's still young and was a high draft pick.
Big boy so maybe he's just putting it together.

No relation.

Ian's brother is Sean Mitchell

I wonder if Igor Geraskin is someone the Hawks take a look at. His contract is up this year and at 21 years old, he leads his KHL team in points. He's on the smaller side, but he's got speed and can make shifty plays. Maybe they sign this guy and bring over Altybarmakyan.
