Prospect Info: Isles Prospect Talk 2018-19

[SI]

Who are the organization’s RWs that would be ahead of Wahlstrom next season if Eberle did not return?

I’m his biggest fan, but if you’re referring to Ho-Sang, his ELC runs out this year and I have a gut feeling the organization is going to be ready to move on from him.

It’s quite possible he doesn’t even finish the season with Islanders even if they trade Eberle. He hasn’t really shown he can be an everyday NHLer and has never destroyed the AHL like a player with his talent should.

Even if Ho-Sang's ELC runs out - why not qualify him - I believe he would still be waiver eligible next season.

Curious why you would think that? Qualifying him if anything is a no risk-high reward situation. Plus Lamoriello and Trotz have stated how they're starting with a clean slate for him and how they see him apart of the future. I actually don't see them moving on after the season.

I don't see why there's reason to prejudge it either way. It's up to Josh. He *can* do it , meaning, he can earn a spot on the team this year. But he very well might phase out too.

I wasn't saying they weren't going to qualify him. Just that they would move him.

What are they moving him for?

He's more valuable to the Islanders organization than any other team.

 

[Brunomics]

You qualify Ho-Sang. It's a no brainer.

 

[Glory Days]

You qualify Ho-Sang. It's a no brainer.

Agreed, teams need to hang on to young cost controlled assets today. Not sure why anyone would see this any other way.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

It would be ironic if Lou slept in the day he was supposed to submit the qualifying offer and missed the deadline.

Wahlstrom making his regular season non exhibition NCAA debut tonight.

He’s the the top line LW. Interesting they have him playing his off wing like OVI

Versatility to play either wing will be a bonus when he's in the NHL.

Like PW said, I’m fine with this if he can pull it off. Gives us a ton of flexibility if he is able to play both wings.

This kid so slept on, he's gonna be a big time producer in the NCAA. Whether or not that translates to the big show, time will tell ...

Happen to watch Russia play at under 18s and he was there best player on the ice. Size of course an issue but skills vision passing top notch to go along with excellent edge work. Hopefully we hit a gem here.

Nah too small

[TeamKidd]

Only scoring for the BC game is K'Andre Miller, guy I really wanted with our 2nd rounder (who the Rags took late in the 1st), for the Wisconsin badgers

 

[TeamKidd]

quality stuff. May he swap bodies with brock nelson one day.

 

[SI90]

BC shutout on the road against Wisconsin in the first game of the season.

 

[SI90]

He pulled up on the rush against that Defensman quick as hell. Wow. That was some nice and shot.

 

[Skip To My Lou]

Yeeeesh.

That was something.
