Prospect Info: General Discussion of Prospects

[Fezzy126]

Stumbled across this twitter handle this morning, I really like the way the prospect info is organized and thought I would share.





I wasn't sure where it belonged so I just resuscitated this old thread.

With play picking up is it worth bumping this thread to consolidate general updates that aren't discussions?

Despite Poltapov being up with the big club, for some reason I'm watching Zvezda Moskva.

Pilut gains the zone, Traktor maintains possession and they score after the D change. It'll be interesting to see if they want to try to find a place for him or find him a new NA home this summer.

I doubt they could get a 7th for him in the next draft.

Wouldn't be surprised if Yzerman swoops in to sign him after his rights expire

In case you missed my post in the Rochester thread:

AHLtv is free this weekend. Rochester plays tomorrow at 3 p.m. if you want to catch Peterka, Quinn, Weissbach, Laaksonen, UPL and others.

I really like the idea of them competing with each other in the Sabres system in the future.

Time for a new prospects poll?

 

[Chainshot]

Portillo was the guy who kept Michigan close last night. It was 12-2 shots against at one point.

Time for a new prospects poll?

Yeah, I think it's about that time.

I'd offer to run them, but I'm not sure I can do a new poll every single day for the next 20.

Sorry that sort of attitude doesn't fly under the don granato Sabres

 

[Zman5778]

Fine.

If no one starts them by mid-afternoon tomorrow, I'll fire them up.

There may be people who won't get to vote if it's every day.

What are the odds we are able to sign both Portillo and Levi before they finish college tho?


Ugh

Greater than zero.

Let’s leave the worry to the Johnson situation at this point.

Excuse my ignorance as I’ve taken a hiatus from HF boards for the most part over the last year so I’m out of the loop on some things — but why have I seen mentioned in a few different places about the idea or concern that Johnson won’t sign? Is that just empty speculation or are there legitimate reasons or evidence to suggest it may be an issue (beyond perhaps him seeing a stacks LD behind Power & Dahlin and perhaps Samuelsson)?

For many months I enjoyed trolling that Johnson must be traded because he is a high profile junior and he is headed to CalPete land. I think that is the context we are operating under. Without CalPete context, there isn't a reason to think that he wouldn't sign.

In my opinion the LHD thing would concern me if I was Johnson. Right now he's clearly behind Dahlin/Power...Samuelsson is around his level as a prospect, and Bryson has been killing it so far. Some people have floated that Dahlin can shift to RHD..yea maybe he can, but he's played on the left for most of his NHL career so far.

I'm a big fan of Johnson after his most recent performance at the WJC - I think he's a more polished, better defensive version of Bryson. So I hope none of what I said is based in reality.

I'll take care of it
