Prospect Info: Ducks Prospect Info 2018-19

[Mr Rogers]

If enough of the forwards pan out, I think we’d see a swap for a dman.

I could see it being pretty debatable tbh... I prefer steel but I can see a case for having terry as 2.... could also see a case for comtois being #2.

I’m being a smartass because we’ve had lots of arguments over him adamantly thinking Terry is better haha.

Seems like it’s about time for the annual prospect rankings, if nobody else wants to do them I can start them up over the next day or two?

This will be one of the most fun rankings we’ve ever had I think. So much depth, even going way down the list to guys like Morand and Perbix

Agreed... I feel like zegras is prob #1.... after that I see the voting going all over the place.... idk that there is a clear cut 2-5 between steel/lundy/terry/comtois... more preference based.... and then after that it gets even worse.

Worse...or better? Hmmmm?

So, according to you it's:

1: Zegras

2-5: Steel, Lundy, Terry, and Comtois

So who's left?

G Dostal (I'm surprised he's not a top-5 prospect.)
D Larsson (He's probably going to graduate this year and played regular minutes at the NHL level already from #4 - 6 defenseman.)
D Guhle (Beats me. Loads of speed is all I know about him.)
F Jones (He's a speedy skater that does a lot of little things. Scoring hasn't translated to the NHL just yet to a high production.)
F Tracey (He's got high end potential, but still an unknown quantity due to lack of history.)
D LaCombe (He's also got high end potential, but still an unknown quantity due to weaker competition.)

That's actually a good group after the top-5 prospects you presented. If Zegras is up there due to potential, then Tracey and LaCombe also have that high potential, but lack of history. D Thrun dropped to us at pick 101 (4th round). According to Central Scouting's NA skaters, he was ranked 39th overall (three below LaCombe).

It's going to be an interesting new list for us this off-season and be good to re-visit next off-season to see how the players after the top-5 have produced.

Zegras is the one guy we can all agree is #1 without a Doubt.
I like that having Zegras takes some of the pressure off of Steel & Lundy to be Getzlaf's heir replacement.
I'm thinking of Lundy as future shutdown line center.

Wheeler: The top 50 drafted NHL prospects ranking, 2019...

Zegras @ 29
Terry @ 44
Steel @ 47

Comtois was a HM.

Comtois was a HM.

For the record, I think Wheeler had Zegras at #12 on his draft board, so he's not as high on him as some others are. Although he did admit Zegras' ceiling is one of the highest in his class. He also said Comtois was his final cut, so I guess you can put him at about #51.

First game of WJC Summer Showcase begins at 2:30. It's USA White v. USA Blue.
Looking at lineups, on USA White, Zegras is at 2C and Janicke is at 4RW. For USA Blue, McLaughlin is 3LW and LaCombe is on the 4th d-pair (yes, there are 4). I'm not sure if the lines mean much at this stage.

Nice play from Zegras

I don't know what I like more, the two strips or the creative shot attempt, that was awesome.

McLaughlin scored for the US, waiting for video.

Going to the net at least. Could use more of that.

Is there anywhere to watch replay of the full games?

Nice play from Zegras

He is the most creative prospect we have EVER had.

 

[AngelDuck]

Zegras is that rare type of prospect that it would be disappointing if he didn’t rip up the NCAA in his freshman year. He’s that talented
