Pittsburgh Penguins Prospects Thread

[Al Smith]

Carick is a quack right?

He was the guy with the fancy spinning chair, IIRC. I guess someone is continuing to pay him, so maybe he's legitimate in some way.

What the hell is going on with Pavlychev? I thought he was just a write-off as a prospect with any upside, but he's producing a ridiculous amount in college. He had more points in 9 games this year than he had last year in his last 2 years, when he played in 35 or more games.

Penn State scores a ton which helps his totals, but after tonight I think he’s their leading scorer.

Probably should give him an ELC this summer.

I dunno but it makes our center depth situation look a little brighter.

He was tied for 1st going into the game, so I'm guessing he probably is.

He's still tied for 1st place on the team, but he's also ranked 2nd in the whole NCAA and has only played 9 games. Dude in 1st place has 12 games played already.

I had him as a Keven Veilluex type. Seems better. And less racist.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Even without the offense, i liked what i've seen of him at PSU. He's been their go to defensive C since year 1.
So the offense is really nice to see for me.

All aboard the Pavs hype train.


Seriously, where did this production come from?

Not uncommon for college guys to break out in year 3 or 4. Rust when from 11 points as a Sophmore to 34 as a Junior. If Pavs could replicate that production then that would be great.

 

[Jacob]

It’s odd because even in the USHL he put up modest production.

Yeah, but it doesn’t look like he was all that productive at any level until now and he’s almost halfway to Rust’s 34 points after 9 games.

 

[Jacob]

Big guys tend to take longer to put it together. Chara never put up offensive numbers anywhere either. Boyle did though.

I wouldn’t amend his maximum upside much more than what it’s always been: a good 4C. We’ll see now if he can keep it up for the rest of their 20+ games and then if he can translate that to production in the AHL.

Perhaps, but I feel a lot more confident about him reaching that upside now.

What did Veilluex do that was racist?

 

[Jacob]

He did an Apu accent.

What is the quality of competition they've faced so far? Seems like most of their top 10 scorers are also experiencing huge jumps in scoring this season. That's not to say he couldn't be a late bloomer, but 7 of his 16 points came against RMU this past weekend. I'd be happy if he gets to a PPG this season.

I mean they've faced some really good teams like Arizona State twice and Priceton. The rest are mosty .500 teams right now, but it's still pretty impressive.

 

[Shrimper]

I'm all for having a giant on the team

 

[MrBurghundy]

It’s odd because even in the USHL he put up modest production.

Finally growing into his body, and developing better coordination because of it?

Get him here and put him and Angello on the same line.

 

[Shady Machine]

I dunno but it makes our center depth situation look a little brighter.

Probably put him at wing if/when he gets to the pros.

He's put on a lot of muscle going by all reports, which would have made a difference.

Which is also great to hear. A tall lanky kid with zero muscle is lot different than a tall jacked kid. He'll be able to wreck people with that size.
