Prospect Info: Kings Prospects in the CHL/College Part II

Kupari got 5 and a game today. Otteluseuranta | JYP - Kärpät 8.3.2019 | Kärpät

On the prospects board they say it was either a missed check to the head or butt 3nd to someone’s balls...

Prokhorkin and Dergachyov advance to the second round in the KHL after winning the first round 4-2.

Boo!
I’m anxious to see if Proks is coming over this time or if he is just using LA talks as leverage for another KHL contract.

Yeah, seen this dog and pony show before. Not sure how much he truly wants to play in NA, but with IK presently in the lineup, this may be LA's best chance to bring him over. Which makes me wonder if that is one of the reasons IK wasn't dealt during the TDL. Probably not the main factor, but a small reason possibly.

Not sure if I'm just behind on the times or what, but I found a pretty cool app (at least for Android) called IceHockey24.

What's cool about it is I set my favorite teams as all the teams the prospects play on. It then gives me a schedule for the week, and even some boxscores.

It definitely helps with keeping track of when prospects play next.

Some flaws though:
- no NCAA games
- it shouldn't be counted on for individual statistics (it has them, but the goalie statistics aren't intuitive or available, I've often found)

But if you want to get updates on the Reign, Kings, Reaktor (Shafigullin), Karpat (Kupari), etc, it's a handy app.

The app I use is called “KopitarFan”. Free and informative!

JAD with another goal. He's now on an 8 game goal-scoring streak

Linkopings won in OT, but I think they needed to win in regulation for a shot at the playoffs.

I try.

With that in mind.....

[Frolov 6'3]

Yeah he scores them left and right.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Every oneof those goals is absolutely filthy too

I can't imagine how much fun it must be to be able to shoot like that. I havent played hockey in a year or two and only played ice for 2 or 3 years but shooting is so much harder than it looks. My wrist shots are so weak and I don't even dare attempt a slap shot .

JAD is looking good, i have some concerns over his size but hopefully his skills make up for it.

Stoll replacement-in a good way.

 

[King'sPawn]

9 game goal scoring streak for JAD now.

SKA took game 1 in the 2nd round.

Reaktor lost game 3 in a best of five series. They're down 2-1 in the series.

JAD is apparently healthy now and just ripping the league apart as expected/hoped. Love that kid. not sure why people see him as 'only' a 3C, he's got some serious offensive skills. More like early-career SToll than late career imo.

Not saying I agree with them, but in a perfect world they might find themselves in a position where he is a just a really good 3C, say they get Zegras, Dach or Cozens (not to mention Hughes), along with Kupari, if Vilardi should ever get healthy (big IF) and the 2020 class has good center depth as well.

 

[King'sPawn]

European Games (sorry since there's not a thread figure I'd throw them out here):

Bulat Shafigullin had an assist in Reaktor's 3-2 OT loss. They lost the series 3-1. He ended the MHL season with 35 points (14 g, 21 a) in 28 playoff games and 3 points (0 g, 3 a) in 4 playoff games.
Rasmus Kupari had an assist in Karpat's 4-3 OT loss. I believe this is also the conclusion of the regular season. He ened with 33 points (12 g, 21 a) in 43 games. They begin Liiga playoffs as the top seed.
Johan Sodergran was scoreless in Linkopings' 4-0 loss. They won just 2 out of the final 13 games in the regular season, and that was bad enough to eliminate them from the playoffs (but not bad enough for relegation). Sodergran had 13 points (8 g, 5 a) in 39 games.

This is also the last weekend of the regular season for all CHL players (OHL, WHL, QMJHL). The final date is 3/17.

All junior players the Kings have drafted, except for Kingston (Vilardi) have qualified for the playoffs. That means Vilardi, if he's able, would be eligible to join the Reign/Kings after 3/17.

Akil Thomas with 2 first period goals, next point will be his 100th on the season.

Let players play and go for their ceiling. JAD may well be a #2 center. I also think the wrist injury set him back, more than we know. Maybe it still gets sore, or not have full strength - AND POSSIBLY - he's not 100% comfortable in feeling mentally 100% comfortable with it, like "I wonder if I hit it a certain way, it breaks". Not saying that could be part of it - put it could. I messed up my left knoee when I was 16...hyper extended it and it bends back a little too far today...but it does not give me much problem, but if I am going to exert it, I think about it and wear a support wrap. JAD is fully excelling. Makes you wonder if he didn't break it, he may have flirted with a 50 goal season.

Heck, Iafallo is playing #1 LW and he wouldn't be a #1 LW on any other team.

Grundstrom...JAD...Kupari, Kempe - may they change this franchise and elevate it to a Cup contending team...along with the 2019 #1, Petersen, Anderson, Thomas, Clague, Durzi and dare I say Vilardi as well. Even perhaps Brickley, Walker and Roy.
