Blues Prospects Thread 2018-2019

[Maverick41]

Dominik Bokk with 2 assists today.

 

[Jordeau]

Bokk now has 17 points in his last 24 games. Has anyone been able to watch him? I haven't been able to find any scouting reports.

 

[BleedBlueForever]

Toropchenko has 6 points in his last 6 games.

He’s like a much faster but much less skilled version of Jaskin.

Is it even possible to be much less skilled than Jaskin?

 

[Celtic Note]

Jaskin was skilled enough, just way too slow

Jaskin tore up juniors and produced well in the AHL. Can’t say the same for Toropchenko thus far.

That’s very impressive. Most of the guys coming out of that league that end up being good NHLers score at about .5 PPG. He looks to be right around that mark. Numbers look good I just wish I could see him play. Hard to get excited about numbers on a website. I thought he was okay in the prospect camp but didn’t really stand out like Kyrou and Thomas did(though obviously he’s a couple years younger). Would be nice to get him to the AHL next year.

Think I’d rather he stay in Sweden. Let him star there and come over following year. Save a year on ELC and get to play in a top league against other skilled players.

 

[Oberyn]

Toropchenko has 6 points in his last 6 games.

Hard to get excited about a prospect who was drafted 2 years ago being point per game in a junior league over a short sample size.

 

[Brockon]

Hard to get excited about a prospect who was drafted 2 years ago being point per game in a junior league over a short sample size.

He's still well shy of the PPG mark at 31 points in 45 games. Given his size advantage at 6'3 187lbs, you'd think he would be posting more impressive totals in his 2nd season in North America.

I'm excited about him as a bottom 6 guy with speed.

Thats fair. I think I’d rather have him here so he gets used to North American ice and the Blues have more direct control over his ice and his practices. Seems he’s getting plenty of ice in Sweden at least. Either way he’s probably a couple years away from really competing for an NHL spot so it’s not a huge deal one way or another.

Quite a few Bokk highlights (as well as other Blues prospects) on this instagram account:

Some of the Hugh McGing highlights on there have really impressed me. That little guy can flat out fly. I'm interested to track his development and see if he can translate his game to higher pro levels, because he has some good skill and his skating acumen is undeniable.

This play made me sit up and pay attention:

The guy that runs that account has a really good Twitter too. If I’m not mistaken he used to post here a little bit too. I agree, +1 for his work. He doesn’t have nearly as many followers as he should imo

Returning to this board after taking quite a bit of time off. Still followed the prospects and post on Twitter often. Happy to recognize some of the same names on here talking about the “kids”.

Out of curiosity, who were the "kids" when you were last posting here?

Ohh it hasn’t been that long. Roughly a year. So essentially the same talent pool.

 

[Blueston]

Found this interesting. Thomas in his rookie year with London played 40 games, 3G 12 A, -2 and team won Memorial Cup. The next year he scored point per game and was 1st round pick. In 42 games so far this season with Blues he has 5G 12A, -4. Quite similar start. Not saying we too will win Cup this year, but I do expect he will take big step forward next season.

I'm not as optimistic for Thomas next year as other people seem to be. I definitely expect a nice jump, but I think it's a lot more likely he starts next year as our 3C than 2C like a lot of people seem to think.

This will partly depend on where Schenn plays. If he stays at LW it is not unreasonable that Thomas can slide ahead of Bozak in the Fall.

Maybe, but he hasn't even been playing center recently. I could see him moving past Bozak at some point during the season, but I feel like they may want to test him out at center on the third line before giving him that much responsibility.

Don't disagree.

Kyrou with a goal and a beauty of a PP assist tonight. He’s going to be such a weapon in the future.

How are Husso and Fitzpatrick progressing?
