For people who like stat box watching, here's the stats for all the Pens prospects as to now. Planning to update this every month or so, as well as providing monthly stats so we can see who's going hot and who's cooling down.
WHL
Jordy Bellerive (C, Lethbridge) GP15 G8 A11 P19 PIM14 +2
Justin Almeida (C, Moose Jaw) GP13 G3 A18 P21 PIM0 +1
Calen Addison (D, Lethbridge) GP15 G2 A14 P16 PIM20 -7
Almeida is joint 8th and Bellerive joint 16th for points among forwards - Almeida is tied 3rd for assists with Cody Glass. Addison is 4th for points among dmen. Almeida leads his team for points by 1 and for assists by 8. Bellerive is 2nd for points on his team and Addison 4th.
Both Lethbridge and Moose Jaw sit 4th in their respective divisions. However, Lethbridge are 3rd for GF in the whole WHL and 4th for GA - Moose Jaw's 36 GF is the 2nd worst in the whole WHL. Almeida is involved in over half his team's goals.
QMJHL
Jan Drozg (W, Shawinigan) GP15 G6 A13 P19 PIM6 -14
Zachary Lauzon (D, Rouyn-Noranda) - N/A
Alex D'Orio (G, Saint John) GP14 GAA 4.68, .882%
Drozg is joint 16 for points among forwards and joint 9th for assists. The next highest scorer on his team has 11 points. Lauzon is yet to play but his return is meant to be soon.
D'Orio is 14th out of 15 goaltenders playing 10 or more games for save percentage. Only Shawinigan's is worse.
Unsurprisingly, both teams are awful this year.
SHL
Filip Hallander (W, Timra) GP12 G2 A5 P7 PIM0 +2
Tied 35th for points in the SHL overall, Hallender is tied 2nd and 1st for assists among players under 20, and tied 1st for points on his team. Timra are 8th out of 14 in the league, with their 26th goals 10th for GF - Hallander's involved in over 25% of them.
Liiga
Niclas Almari (D, HPK) GP5 Go A1 P1 PIM0 -2 (U20s - GP2 G0 A1 PIM2 +3)
Antti Palojarvi (D, Lukko) GP2 G0 A1 P1 PIM0 +0 (U20s - GP13 G3 A5 P8 PIM2 +5)
Almari's GP total seems to suggest an injury or a lot of HSs.
NCAA
Nikita Pavlychev (C, Penn) GP5 G2 A4 P6 PIM6 +3
Kasper Bjorkqvist (W, Providence) GP6 G2 A2 P4 PIM0 +5
Clayton Phillips (D, Minnesota) GP3 G0 A4 P4 PIM2 +3
William Reilly (D, RPI) GP5 G1 A2 P3 PIM2 -1
Ryan Jones (D, Nebraska) GP6 G0 A2 P2 PIM10 -8
Too few games to really draw much context as to where they are in terms of their team/league, but Jones -8 is tied for team lead - looks like he's on the top unit for a team getting shelled.
Anyway.
I'd say big pluses to Almeida, Drozg, Hallander, Philips and Pavlychev - he'd become a pretty interesting prospect all of a sudden if he kept up this sort of scoring. Also Palojarvi's U20 scoring is a big increase for him so yay for baby steps.
Nobody seems to be doing that badly (at least among the healthy) but it would be nice if Almari could kick on, if Jones could stop getting shelled, and I think Bellerive has another level of offence there.
Also, free Alex D'Orio.
p.s. I have no idea where Liam Gorman is playing.
