Pittsburgh Penguins Prospects Thread

How did he go to Air Force and not have to go active duty?

If the Pens sign all the goalies out there they will have everyone at their mercy.

Still very surprised Tokarski hasn't been re-signed or signed by anyone.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Can't wait to see Byfield and Poulin absolutely dominate.

That'd be nice.

McMichael on the other side too.

More like McSprong.

Officially the worst on the Athletic’s organizational rankings!!

I mean I agree with where we are but found the passage Pronman wrote very confusing—

The Penguins for years have been trading away picks and prospects to help extend their contending window. I think there are some players in this system who will be NHL players and will arguably help them win games. I don’t see a ton of that. I’ve said that before, we’ll see if they can make some magic happen again.

Just not sure what he means by the bolded. Feels contradictory.

There are some but not many of them. It’s awkwardly worded but there’s probably 2 or 3 instead of 10. Arbitrary numbers but you get the point.

I took it as saying 1) there are some potential NHL players, but 2) not many. Some of the higher rated orgs had as many as 16 prospects listed while the Pens had 5.

Pronman's organizational rankings aren't simply based on "prospects". They are based on the outlook of a franchise based on their players under a certain age.

We have players that can help us win games with our current core, but Pronman's outlook is essentially that we have no game breakers that will help this franchise out once the other shoe drops on Sid, Geno and Letang.

Larmi joining his old Finnish team HPK until the start of the training camp. Interesting point is that he has an option in his contract which allows him to join HPK for the rest of the season if he doesn't get enough playtime in Pens organization.

Larmi was a huge reason why HPK won Liiga 2018-19. Their goalies this season have awful stats so far so will be interesting to see if he can turn their boat around. After 7 games they are currently in last spot (0-5-2, 25 GA).

HPK just tweeted that Puustinen is ready to play again. He has only played 1 game this year (was on the top line at RW) but I guess he got injured.

Puustinen scored 2 goals in his return today. Pretty encouraging seeing our prospects start off well in Europe. Even Lindgren has 5 points in 7 games with MODO.

Puustinen might be the dark horse prospect, tbh.

Well, hes gone at the deadline.

There exists an Air Natl. Guard, as well as AF reserves

Calle Clang saved 36/37 in a 2-1 OT win.

I watched like half the game. But i have no clue how to evaluate goalies. So im just gonna leave you with the stat line and say he looked good from what i saw

 

[Jacob]

Not a goalie myself but I look for general fluidity in movement and how they’re handling rebounds. And whether or not they’re in position for chances that may never materialize.

 

[Gurglesons]

Told you guys Lundell was going to be a stud.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Lol seems about right

 

[The Greatest 101]

Told you guys Lundell was going to be a stud.

I thought I was the only one here who wanted him at 15.

Is the Q on track to resume on the 28th? Any info on if the Sherbrooke players are recovering?

With kind of partial lockdown in Quebec in Red Zone due to covid and Drummondville team being in Quarantine I am sure it will be delayed...
