I have a hunch Minten is going to really pop off in the WHL after his NHL exposure this fall at camp.

Curious to see how McKay is ahead of Woll/Kallgren/Petruzzelli when he is almost certainly going to be behind all of them on the depth chart and he is older than all of them except Kallgren?

Peksa and Akhtyamov are already behind in their development too, so I do not really get why people are hyping them up a bunch. Doing well in the VHL means nothing at their age except that they need to translate their success to the KHL ASAP to catch up as prospects.

Kallgren/Woll/Petruzzelli are noticeably better prospects than everyone except for Hildeby, and Hildeby needs a strong showing in the SHL. Peksa/Akhtyamov/etc. may not even reach their current levels as prospects, never mind surpass them.

Seem to recall you've been pretty vocal on the topic of goalie prospects so far down in the VHL and MHL not having much of a track record for success, relating to Peksa and Akhtyamov. I suppose the positive is at least they're getting developmental reps, and it remains to be seen what they can develop into.

The thing I'm personally not that high on Woll on is he's only played something like 60+ AHL level games since coming out of school 3 years ago. His development curve feels very gradual and flat like we've not seen him put together a string of AHL work that would suggest he's ready for bigger and better things.

Yeah minten is a good candidate for that 13th forward role player position for canada

He keeps up what he is doing, takes it back to kamloops and dominates regardless of points i gotta think his smarts gets him a look in the stephen dixon tim brent kinda role

Is this Minten's only remaining year of eligibility or can he also make the team next season?

It's actually his first realistic year of eligibility. 17yr olds are rare.

The only player his age or younger on this most recent WJC team was Bedard. Everyone else was at least a year older than Minten.

He is eligible for this year and next and for obvious reasons he'll be behind the 8 ball being one of the youngest players in his draft class but I have high hopes his role could elevate very quickly If stankoven sticks in the NHL if that happens his usage and numbers will explode

Is the Russian government going to allow that?

Last thing we need is for him to end up in some Navy base northern Russia
They are looking to totally close the boarder, hell technically speaking the boarder is closed to him right now because he is of military age, which is basically if you have a heartbeat you can be drafted

I'm more worried about Ho-Sang he legitimately needs to get out of there while he still can

Well he hasn't really been a part of the hockey Canada program so he likely would need do double his production to get significant traction in that regard.
He might make it based on intangibles and defensive play like the Goat did with team Canada as a shutdown and faceoff specialist.

I would assume unless Minten really blows up this year he likely is left off the team and next year will be his shot as a 19 year old. Hopefully he makes a push though!

Yeah, I think Washington may have made an unforced error dumping Samsonov like that. He's basically older than Woll and younger than Kallgren by one year and a first rounder from the Marner draft.

Well, they decided they wanted to go for a cup and Kuemper is definitely better than Samsonov at this point.

Will have to see who is better between Vitachek and Samsonov but they went with the guy who played better.

^ That’s a good thing. Voit’s not going to be ready for a few years. Let him dominate in the ohl. Wished they did the same for kressler who needs to develop his offense.

They did do that to Kressler. They even did it for Voit, but they needed a body due to some injuries.

I think Kressler suffered an injury in his one OHL preseason game though. He is really having a tough time staying healthy, which sucks because he is a solid player when he is playing.

Whoops my bad. I assumed they didn’t recall kressler because i didn’t see his name on flint roster.

Funny idea for russian prospect development: All teams playing against kunlun or any bad team must use at least 3 U20 prospects and have play at least 15 minutes.
