Pittsburgh Penguins Prospects Thread

Hope Oreo gets an ATO for WBS, try him out here on a better team.

Providence loses in the conference final to BU 2-0. Michigan Tech wins their conference with a 2-0 victory (Birks 1A).

Michigan Tech (Birks), Cornell (Angello) and Bjorkvist (Providence) will all get in the big dance. Penn St (Pavlychev) is likely to get an at large bid.

Minnesota (Phillips) is likely bounced by way of Princeton winning ECAC as a big underdog.

With Drozg and Orio's season over, they can't join the AHL for the remainder can they? Thought they had to be older?

I think they can join on PTO

Edit. Maybe its named ATO for prospects

They can join the AHL. Any player that is old enough to play in the NHL can also play in the AHL (Filip Chytil for example spent the year in the AHL this year (or most of it) as an 18/19 year old). However, the NHL/AHL and the CHL have an agreement whereby junior aged players from CHL leagues have to go back to junior if they don't make their NHL clubs. However, once their seasons end in junior, they are allowed to come back up to the AHL.

NCAA Tourny bracket has been set. Michigan Tech draws the # 2 seed in Notre Dame. Cornell as the #3 seed gets a tough BU team that just beat Providence for the HEC championship. Providence gets Clarkson which should be a winnable game. Penn St. gets a very tough Denver team. First and second rounds are next weekend.

As expected Minnesota and Nebraska-Omaha did not qualify.

Sorry if some info had already been posted,

A Drozg Story...

On the 9th of March his shit team lost 9-1, ...3.3 seconds before the end of the 2nd period he actually left for the dressing room but his rookie shit coach gave him a regard assassin (if looks could kill) and brought him back to the bench. Yeah he shouldn't have done that but have fun playing in a garbage environment when your future is at stake.

His team lost their last 15 games so i hope he gets traded, Drozg scored in their last game and finished with the most points for team Garbage.

 

[Nakawick]

Can Bellerive play in the AHL next year?

 

[WDYT]

Can Bellerive play in the AHL next year?

I would think not. Next year is his age 19 season.

 

[Nakawick]

I would think not. Next year is his age 19 season.

Yeah, I thought so too, his birthday is May 2nd. I haven't looked ay the rule in regard to birth date. It seems like playing up a level next year would be good for his development though.

 

[Jacob]

It’s just the year. Gotta be 20 or turning 20 to leave juniors. He and d’Orio are ‘99 birthdays so they can join the baby Pens in 2019.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Thanks to everyone for the prospect updates in this thread. It is much appreciated.

 

[Shrimper]

Brynas beat Vaxjo 4-3 today in their second game. Ohlund had a goal on the powerplay and an assist. He currently has 5 points in 5 games (2G 3A).

 

[wej20]

Has there been any indication of what Ohlund's doing next year?

A real upset that was. Vaxsjo is a powerhouse and Brynas are missing 7 regulars - 5 with concussions :-O

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Wonder if we'll take a look at Mascherin, now that Florida's not gonna sign him.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

He's a guy I was interested in the Pens taking a couple of years ago (or whenever his draft year was). I mean, free prospect, so I hope the Pens do sign him.

Worst case scenario they have another guy who can provide offense at the AHL level.

Yeah, seems like the sort of forward prospect we like too, at least judging by the scouting reports.

Is he going back into the draft if he's not signed though?

That's what I read on the first news report that popped up.

Maybe we could flip a low-end prospect for the guy. Dea or something.

Do Florida get a compensatory pick if he doesn't sign?

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Do Florida get a compensatory pick if he doesn't sign?

I don't think so. Pretty sure that only applies to 1st round picks (2nd round pick as compensation).

 

[Peat]

I don't think so. Pretty sure that only applies to 1st round picks (2nd round pick as compensation).

Ah right. So yeah, anything they can flip him for is better than nothing. Although I am curious as to why he's not signing just to go back into the draft. Are Florida really that bad? Or stacked in his position?

 

[Jacob]

Hell yeah, sign the little f***er.

 

[#1GuinFan]

I think they did away with compensation picks.
Its so seldom that a 1st round pick doesn't get signed though, so I could be wrong.


EDIT - did a little googling about this, looks like Arizona got a 2nd round pick for not signing Connor Bleakley in 2016, so I guess compensation is still a thing. Maybe only on 1st rounders.
