NHL Rookies

[NHL RankKing]

Speculate on which players will be entering the league on your favourite NHL team for their first official rookie season.

• Dylan Sikura
• Henri Jokiharju
• Dominik Kahun

To be considered a rookie, a player must not have played in more than 25 NHL games in any preceding seasons, nor in six or more NHL games in each of any two preceding seasons. Any player at least 26 years of age (by September 15th of that season) is not considered a rookie.

Jack Roslovic (out of camp)

You didn't specify whether tjis was guys who will have fulfilled the qualifications for a rookie season by the time the season is over or just the guys who haven't already fulfilled it that will make it out of camp. So:

Guys that will stick after a call-up
Sami Niku
Kristian Vesalainen
Brendan Lemieux

In order of likelihood.

Brady Tkachuk
Alex Formenton
Max Lajoie
Christian Jaros
Colin White (only 23 NHL Games. Cant remember the limit to be considered a rookie)

Wolanin and Chlapik won't start in Ottawa but we will see them rather quickly

For the leafs

Kapanen
Johnsson

 

[Kamiccolo]

Brady Tkachuk

Wolanin and Chlapik won't start in Ottawa but we will see them rather quickly

Man why bring up Tkachuk? Send him down for another year it won't hurt anything he isn't ready to be a top 6 NHLer. Let him get the minutes down there to work on whatever he has to and bring him up next season. Sens are going to ruin him.

He cant go back to BU after signing his pro contract. He could return to whatever ohl team holds his rights I suppose, though I'm not sure that's in his best interest, or what he wants. I imagine his ELC signing came with a handshake deal to either be on the team or AHL ( I believe hes eligible, cant remember the ruling on this one).

 

[780il]

- Evan Bouchard (9 games)
- Ethan Bear (Called up when Bouch goes down and sticks)
- Kailer Yamamoto (9 games, maybe whole year)
- Tyler Benson (late call up, could stick)

 

[Flamesfan62]

Mangiapane
Dube
Andersson
Czarnik (I think he qualifies)

 

[RANKKA]

Mikhail Vorobyov (out of camp)
Philippe Myers (hopefully at some point)

From the Sharks :

Rourke Chartier

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

These 5 all made the Hurricanes final roster (barring a trade before the season starts)

Svechnikov
Necas
Zykov
Wallmark
Foegele

Alex Formenton
Max Lajoie

Dont think Logan Brown will get a shot?

 

[Kcb12345]

Dallas Stars:

Miro Heiskanen
Roope Hintz
(Maybe Gurianov but very unlikely given our 4th line situation)

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Rangers:
Filip Chytil
Brett Howden
Neil Pionk

With the likelihood that these will see time
Libor Hayek
Lias Andersson
Ryan Lindgren

Then put him in the AHL. Playing non 1st OA picks in their draft year almost always bites the team in the ass.

Because he's been one of our best forwards in camp? He is ready to be an NHLer. Just watch him play sometime before posting..

Dont think Logan Brown will get a shot?

Not this year. He has like 6 centermen ahead of him on the depth chart.
He needs to learn to use his size better and get better in the dot. A year with Troy Mann will do wonders for him.

 

[Go Wings]

Detroit

Rasmussen
Cholowski
Svech
Sulak

First call ups
Zadina
Hronek

 

[Lays]

Rangers-
Chytil
Howden
Pionk
Deangelo
Lettieri
Georgiev
Don’t know if Pionk completely counts as a prospect though, he’s played 28 games. Doubt Deangelo really counts either
Andersson should likely be on the team after the TDL as well, maybe even Hajek and Lindgren

 

[Starat327]

Then put him in the AHL. Playing non 1st OA picks in their draft year almost always bites the team in the ass.

Watched him in a few pre season games and he didnt look too out of place. I sont think Ottawa should feel inclined to rush him, but if they want to, I don't think itd be a terrible idea. Pretty weak on the left side anyway.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Because he's been one of our best forwards in camp? He is ready to be an NHLer. Just watch him play sometime before posting..

I have watched him in two games. Neither one did he look NHL ready. He has tools for sure but this is a lost year anyway and there is going to be a lot of instability in the locker room. It's best to keep him away from it all for this year until they at least know who the leadership group will be going into the rebuild.

I think him being one of the best forwards speaks more to the forward group than it does to the player.

 

[ThatsSoSlavin]

Dermott

Didn’t he play too many games to be considered a rookie? The OP was vague on qualifications

 

[Jester9881]

Islanders:

Devon Teows should make it out of camp, with Kieffer Bellows and Sebastian Aho getting the call later in the season.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Mathieu Joseph, Alex Volkov, Erik Cernak, and if he counts Tony Cirelli

 

[Broad Street Buddies]

For the leafs

Kapanen
Johnsson

Kapanen isn't a prospect anymore.

Flyers :
Vorobyev
Lindblom
One of Lyon/Stolarz/Hart

Also, they have recalled Phillippe Myers today so he's still in the fight.
