Prospect Info: Ducks Prospect Discussion 2017/18 - part 1

[The Mighty Duck Man]

The rumours are that Comtois is getting traded to Drummondville. Him getting to play with Veleno will be pretty cool. Though I'd love for Halifax to get him somehow.

If not, I guess they'll just have to wait for San Diego (or the World Juniors if Morand can crack the squad).

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Kopacka and Soy

I'm guessing Soy won't be one of our prospects in a few weeks.

 

[Static]

I'm interested to see if anything happens with Nick Sorensen. I know we hold his rights but not much more than that.

He was second on his swedish team in goal scoring last season despite, of course, missing double digit games with injury.

 

[Static]

Sorensen could be a nice Johnathan hedstrom type bottom six player. I wonder if he is still in our plans or us in his.

 

[Frosted Tips]

I'm guessing Soy won't be one of our prospects in a few weeks.

Yeah, there's like three days left to sign him.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Bring Sorensen over. No more useless vets on the fourth line bullshit. Re-sign Grant and find a couple talented kids with him..and MAKE RANDY PLAY THEM. it's not bad for their development if they actually play. Our fourth Should be used for trying different kids until a few step up and take a spot.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Yeah, there's like three days left to sign him.

Probably should've been obvious when they sent him back for his 20 year old season and didn't sign him then.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Sorensen could be a nice Johnathan hedstrom type bottom six player. I wonder if he is still in our plans or us in his.

Yeah thats an interesting one. Could be a thing where he and the team both agreed he'd be better off in Sweden for a year or two, could be that he just doesn't want to play in the AHL. Stuff like this is one of the few times I get frustrated that there's so little info coming from the team.

 

[MMC]

If we don’t sign Soy I’m gonna be pissed.

 

[MMC]

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Hell of a couple days for him, kid should have a great summer.

 

[McDonald19]

If we don’t sign Soy I’m gonna be pissed.

Yeah, wonder why Murray hasn't signed him? Either he doesn't see the upside some of us do, or the agent wants higher round money (instead of 7th rounder money).

 

[Frosted Tips]

Yeah, wonder why Murray hasn't signed him? Either he doesn't see the upside some of us do, or the agent wants higher round money (instead of 7th rounder money).

Maybe he just doesn't want to sign with the Ducks at this point and rather see if he gets drafted again by another team or becomes a UFA.

 

[bsu]

Let's be honest, Murray probably just forgot like usual

 

[Kalv]

Soy understands that he can`t conserve energy like some of the veterans here and wants to go to some other, lower level organisation where he will have a chance

Would be dissapointing to lose rights to him for sure

[Goose of Reason]

Really happy about both of those trades.

 

[Frosted Tips]

So I guess it's official that Soy will have to sauce it up again and see if another team will give him a chance.

Yes, he re-enters the 2018 NHL draft. However, should he go undrafted, there's still the chance that Soy gets an AHL-only contract from the Gulls. For example, the Ducks never signed Brian Cooper (2012 5th rounder) to an ELC, but instead he was brought into the organization on an AHL deal.

So I'm assuming that the motivation is mainly monetary given that he is a 7th round pick?

 

[Paul4587]

Soy is nothing special. It’s not a huge loss if we don’t sign him.

hes too old for the draft. He's a FA.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Yeah, Soy went undrafted in 2015, he’s UFA. It’s probably about the career control even more than the money.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Can you guys give me some info on Ducks players who made their NHL debut last season? What type of player are they, do they have an NHL future and what role do they project into long-term? Thanks!
