Prospect Info: Owen Tippett (2017, #10 overall), Saginaw Spirit (OHL), signed ELC on 7/19/17

Ya hes played like 8-10 games less than his OHL teammates because he was suspended for 5 games for flipping a foam puck into the crowd...

Also IIRC the OHL (/CHL in general) season had already started when Tippett was cut from training camp, so I think he missed a couple games there.

He's been fine this year, as evident by the vote of confidence from Team Canada to put him on the top line

I’m going to need an article on that. That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard

Ya you're right Soup. I think he was suspended for 2 games for a borderline hit earlier in the season as well.

He's a badass!! I'll see what I can find on it.

I was about to say a fine could do but they don’t get paid. I mean one game maybe? Jesus that is dumb.

There was some confusion, he was suppose to get 5 games then the league reduced it to one but I'm at work so this article is all I could find right now.

From Mississauga to Saginaw.

Steelheads trade forward Owen Tippett to Spirit - Sportsnet.ca

Is this so important to create an own Thread, he doesnt even play for the Panthers nore in the AHL current.

Why not? We're here to talk about this kind of stuff. Worst case Soup just merges the thread with his prospect info thread

I asked it cause the original post comes from there.

 

[Beezeral]

Not surprised. They traded his linemate as well earlier this week.

Saginaw fan here I come in peace to say Tippett had a goal and an assist in his first game in Saginaw. They play Sudbury tonight and his addition to a strong team will only help in his development plus possibly some extended playoff time.

Thank for the update! Keep us informed on his progress.

Is he getting PK minutes? One of the important things the Panthers wanted out of Tippett in the CHL this year was to work on his defensive game to make him more well rounded.

That was last season.

Nope. This season especially.

 

[bcspragu]

Nope. This season especially.

He did not get PK time in the first two games. Probably because he had to drive 5 hours to Saginaw and made it barley in time to dress for the game Saturday night and team didn't have a full practice before an afternoon game Sunday. The team plays tomorrow night so we will see what happens now he actually has had 2 days to practice with the team.

 

[vendetta]

Tippett doesn’t need to pk to improve defensively and away from puck. That’s ridiculous

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Tippett with a goal and assist tonight in 6-3 win. He only had one shot on goal so looks like he made it count.
Has 2 goals, 5pts in 5 games for Saginaw so far. Fitting in and producing wherever he plays it seems.

How’s his ice time there compared to before and
Pp time? I haven’t been able to follow since the trade

Didn't get to see the game either and don't think OHL records TOI.
Saginaw has been pretty bad for a while but they loaded up at the trade deadline, picking up Tippett, McLeod (Tippett's teammate in Mississauga) and defenseman Bode Wilde.

I'd assume he's on one of the top two lines, probably a line with McLeod because there would be chemistry there and he'd be used heavily on the PP as well, his assist tonight came on one of their PP's. A deep playoff run would probably stop Tippett from heading to Springfield to help if they make the playoffs. Pretty sure once OHL season is over, Tippett can be eligible to go to AHL but not NHL.

You don't need to say "I come in peace" - the Panthers may be playing like a junior league team, but they are not, in fact, an opponent of Saginaw's
