Binghamton is playing Hynes' "system" iirc. Of course they aren't winning.

Hey Devils fans, I'm a big fan of Jesper Boqvist but I've only managed to see 1 game that he's played in this season and his minutes were low. I'm assuming he hasn't made much of an impact (possibly due to lack of opportunity) so I would have thought that he would have gotten some reps in the AHL by now. Or does he have the option to go to back to Sweden if he's assigned to the AHL?

Didn't realize Fox Sports 1 had college hockey rights, but apparently they're showing Penn State (Aarne Talvitie) @ Michigan tonight at 8:30pm EST. Michigan's barn is one of my favorites, definitely would recommend going there for an open skate if you're ever in Ann Arbor.

It is pretty telling when all of our juniors/NCAA/European prospects seem to be doing well but the AHL players are in the toilet.

I'm starting to think maybe the AHL is a lot less relevant than it used to be. Seems like most above average prospects make the jump straight from CHL/NCAA/Europe to the NHL these days. Top prospects just don't go to the A anymore. It's mostly become a league to keep veteran injury call-ups warm.

You still cook middle of the lineup guys on the cheap there, but yeah top prospects don’t go there, or if they do they aren’t there more then a year.

is that an indicator for our draft picks? or is it just the leagues?
we had a lot of guys who did well in juniors and NCAA, and when they came to the AHL, they've been subpar. remember all the hype mcleod, gignac, zetterlund, and studenic had? reality is that bing just sucks

None of those guys had major hype. Their numbers suggested they could potentially become useful players but nothing earth shattering.

Our two high end prospects were Smith and Hughes.
There are other guys having good to great seasons in college or juniors. People have been posting about them in this thread.
I don’t believe there are any sure things among them yet.
Last year’s draft was lots of infrastructure. Defensive defensemen and a goalie took up a number of picks. Of course HUGHES up top but he is an NHL player at this point. The THOMPSON pick seems to be a good one. He’s scoring at a high rate in the NCAA.
