Prospect Info: Caps Top Prospects General Discussion Thread Vol. 1

[Raikkonen]

No, please no! Enough of these ruined forwards by Ellers line..

There is no other spot in the lineup for CMM seemingly.

Given his superb play this year, what are we thinking the ceiling is for a guy like McMichael? Could he end up being a late first round draft steal like Pasternak?

Good middle-sixer.

Let's talk next year then he will score 70-80 points in his first NHL season.

 

[Carlzner]

Good middle-sixer.

“Ceiling”

 

[Melkor]

“Ceiling”

"Good middle-sixer".

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

"Good middle-sixer".

Nothing like doubling down!

is a 30/30 guy only a “good middle-Sixer”? That’s what I’m hoping for....and hopefully that’s not his ceiling...

I think he's capable of reaching those marks for a couple of seasons but mostly see him as a 25+25/20+30 /20+25 guy. On another note, it has become a habit of mine to set the bar for young players low or at least realistical instead of the best case scenario even when it comes to ceiling. Better be proved wrong in this case.

HHoFer AINEC.

 

[Cush]

Protas 2 + 2 vs Denmark

4 + 3 in 5 games

 

[Langway]

A plum position if he manages to keep it.

Ceiling is a 1A/1B center that relies on vision and hockey sense to execute. Think a Sean Monahan or Logan Couture.

That's definitely an optimistic projection.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Logan Couture has been my hopeful comparison all along.

please please please turn out....

[Todd Lazarchick]

Crazy to think we went from little to no F depth in the system to 3 really exciting prospects in 1 draft.

 

[Langway]

Has on the top pair.

 

[searle]

Has on the top pair.

Are lineup sheets always that confusingly laid out?? Jeez.

 

[Raikkonen]

There is a new interview with AA in Russian media.

Guy's very positive. Been living with Fever together, said he's very talented and very professional guy (with 3 pro seasons under his belt) so he's trying to learn as much as he can (from Fever).

Said he's adapted to AHL, nothing is wrong and he's working on little things everyday with the help of coaches. Eager to score his first NHL goal one day.

Good vibes from reading it.

Hopefully his knees will handle the load.

 

[czechgame]

Martin Hug Has has made the WJC roster after the latest cuts

 

[czechgame]

Martin Has with a goal.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Canada getting blasted. Ya hate to see it.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Martin Has with a goal.

Damn he looks like a big boy....nice twisted wrister....

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Lafreniere out means a good possibility that McMichael moves up into the top-6. Should be interesting to see what Dale does with this.

 

[GoCaps2004]

Gibson stopped 43 of 44 shots tonight in a 4-1 win against Arizona State
