Prospect Info: Ducks Prospect Info 2019-2020

[Opak]

Darn, was looking forward to seeing him compete at this level.

Well, that sucks. Hope he manages to turn a negative into a positive and plays the rest of the year with a chip on his shoulder.

Yeah hopefully he responds positively. That's gotta be tough on a kid to go overseas with the team and find out he's the lone player being sent back.

 

[Goose of Reason]

I would've had him there over Akil Thomas but that sucks. Dude is having a great season and I was looking forward to watching him.

Funny that he is the best of the 3 Mooseheads in camp but is the only one to go home.

 

[anezthes]

Bummer. :/

 

[ADHB]

Don’t watch these players all that often, but seems dumb to leave him off the roster while keeping Lavoie, especially for the 4th line. Don’t see anything in Lavoie to indicate he is the better choice now or going forward.

 

[Kalv]

That one must sting. Hope he goes on a tear now

 

[Opak]

Groulx to Moncton is official.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Slighty above average offensively means 35-50 pts while being elite defensively. I'd take that in a heartbeat. That kind of players bring in trophys.

I would be fine with Pahlsson 2.0

 

[Masch78]

I miss Sammy.

 

[Kalv]

Lundestrom could become the Kole Calhoun of Centers: elite defensively, just slightly above average offensively.

He has a looooooong road ahead to become ''elite defensively''

 

[Kalv]

Janicke among last cuts for team USA. Man...
Hope he goes on a tear

 

[czechgame]

Could Dostal lead this group to the medal?

 

[Opak]

Could Dostal lead this group to the medal?

He could, if he becomes a brick wall and puts the team on his back. Then again, so could any one of Knight/Askarov/Annunen in those circumstances...

 

[JabbaJabba]

Could Dostal lead this group to the medal?

I doubt he can. Dostal is a brilliant talent but that defence isn't going to do him any favours and I don't think those forwards can score enough to win a high scoring game. I hope Czechs do well, but I don't expect them to.

Groulx not in the lineup for Moncton today. I wonder if he is being held out in case Lafreniere is done for the tournament (which he probably is).

I don't think there's a backdoor for Groulx to get back to the WJC, Canada seems to have their 23-man roster set...

I saw the Czechs added a player today after it was determined Lauko was done for the tournament. I am unsure if they left a spot on their roster open for him or not.

 

[duxfan1101]

Badini and Thrun are about to take on Arizona State at the Great Park facility in Irvine

 

[Kalv]

I hope more people come lol. Will anybody from HF will be there? Would love some reports

 

[AngelDuck]

Surreal? That feels like a weird way to describe that

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Maybe he finds it surreal that with all the promoting the Ducks have done, it looks like they only sold about 8 tickets a half hour before puck drop.

I'd probably go, but unless you're a die hard hockey fan who just wants to watch Division 1 hockey, what's the draw?

If one of the California universities had a Division 1 team playing, or multiple, that place would be standing room only, probably.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Surreal? That feels like a weird way to describe that

It is kind of surreal to me that Harvard has to fly cross-country to play a non-conference game (against Arizona State, of all teams) midseason for what essentially amounts to an exhibition and not an actual tournament

Their endowment can afford it.
