Hot taek- O’Brien is a better prospect than Wahlstrom. Not sure if that says more about O’Brien or Wahlstrom. He only has 3 points in 11 games and was dash two tonight, but on a pretty good team, his skating and skill stands out above the rest. Didn’t seem like he saw the ice enough or with quality linemates (tbf I haven’t seen enough of Providence this year). I would expect his breakout to come next season. He definitely needs to get stronger but most knew that would be an issue as a freshman making the jump straight from Prep hockey.

Wahlstrom blows.

 

[Magua]

Wahlstrom blows.

A not small number of people wanted to trade both 14+19 for him.

Ike just tied the game late, but they lost in OT when Guelph's Dman lost his mind.

Big Z with 1+1 so far tonight. Calgary only has 2 goals.

 

[DancingPanther]

But Wahlstrom scored that sick goal when he was 7

Zamula added a secondary assist on the 4v3 OT winner. 3 point night.

Hamilton picked up Jan Jenik I see. Coulda had.

Is Grabner a good comp for Ratcliffe's upside?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Nah. Doesn’t have skating even close to Grabner’s.

I don’t really have a comp for him. Successful forwards his size just don’t enter the league too often.

There’s 7 forwards in the NHL this year to play a game at 6’6” (they’re the tallest).

Martin Hanzal, Tage Thompson, Nick Bjudstad, Jordan Greenway, Timothy Gettinger, Brian Boyle, & Michael Rasmussen. It’s not exactly a list of guys that wow you.

 

[freakydallas13]

Why was Rubtsov scratched?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Why was Rubtsov scratched?

He’s out for the season with an injury. I think shoulder.

 

[freakydallas13]

He’s out for the season with an injury. I think shoulder.

Ouch, terrible luck for him.

 

[renberg]

Is Kase out for the season as well?

 

[VladDrag]

Great Friday night for prospects!

Not a list of superstars but some good hockey players in this list. Ratcliffe skates very well and has excellent hands, scoring touch and vision. I hope Guelph makes a run to MemCup with him leading a now-stacked team.

 

[Prongo]

Zamula is getting me excited. It’s nice to see a player just explode for offense production. I wonder how many players went from his type of production to where he is now and had successful careers.
