Prospect Info: Prospect Info and Discussion VIII - Future Canes and other Jurcos

[Discipline Daddy]

Curious. Where do you all rank Rees in our prospect pool currently? Who’s your top 5 as well?

Ah. Thanks for asking!

1) David Cotton
2) It doesn't matter

 

[MinJaBen]

I have him at 4 moving up fast on Suzuki for 3. Or 3 for 2 depending on if you count Necas

1 - Necas
2 - Bean
3 - Suzuki
4 - Rees
5 - Geekie
6 - Priskie

I have Bean ahead of all of them, with Suzuki last. Necas in the middle.

 

[GoldiFox]

Same as my Summer list:

1) Necas
2) Rees
3) Suzuki
4) Geekie
5) Kochetkov (although he has been bad this year)
6) Bean (would move up to 5)

1 - Necas
2 - Bean
3 - Suzuki
4 - Rees
5 - Geekie
6 - Priskie

This IMO is the closest to my own personal list. The Canes farm, though, is incredibly deep, and you can argue for Bokk, Luostarinen, or Gauthier at #6, as well. I like David Cotton, too, and he's having an excellent enough senior season to get an ELC next year.

 

[Unsustainable]

Kirill Slepets looks good:



8g 7a in 21 games

 

[AZviaNJ]

How is Kyle Wood looking in Charlotte? See he's had a couple healthy scratches. Is he the 6/7 Dman for the Checkers?

 

[spockBokk]

I’d rate Suzuki, Bokk, Geekie and Bean ahead of Rees, but that’s it. I’d say for now:

1-Suzuki
2-Bean
3-Bokk
4-Geekie
5-Rees

I also really like Honka, but he’s not yet in my top 5 of Canes prospects. Have no idea where my summer rating is, but Honka, Priskie, Puistola, Gauthier and Nedeljkovic would round out my top 10 at this point.

Edit-just realized I forgot Luostarinen...I guess I base my list on which prospects I think have a real chance at being top6, top 4 type guys. Luostarinen and Mckeown, I think are the guys currently closest to full-time NHL jobs:

I think McKeown is the most NHL-ready, followed by Gauthier, Luostarinen, and Nedeljkovic.

 

[emptyNedder]

Helvig finding his groove in the ECHL. Last two games he has faced 94 shots and stopped 90. Up to .927 for the season.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I think Priskie over Bean. Bean is another Murphy to me.

 

[emptyNedder]

I think McKeown is the most NHL-ready, followed by Gauthier, Luostarinen, and Nedeljkovic.

Four games is a small sample—but Luostarinen has been solid. If the standard is NHL-ready:
Luostarinen
Nedeljkovic (one start, one win)
McKeown

Kirill Slepets looks good:

8g 7a in 21 games

But those numbers are in the VHL...isn't that akin to the AHL of Russia?

 

[tarheelhockey]

I think Priskie over Bean. Bean is another Murphy to me.

I'm not sure exactly how you meant this -- if it's simply that neither has an NHL future you may be right -- but I think Bean profiles as much more of an NHL-style player than Murphy did. Murphy was all slapshots and hipchecks. In the 80s he would have been a fan favorite. In the 2010s he was on borrowed time the whole time he was in the NHL. I just looked and I'm stunned that he actually played 151 games here... that says a lot about where we were with defensive talent and injuries during that time period.

Bean is a modern offensive defenseman. He may not make it on a talent basis, but at least he's a guy you can realistically see having a long term career in the NHL without it being a five-alarm-dumpster-fire situation.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

But those numbers are in the VHL...isn't that akin to the AHL of Russia?

slepets just got traded to riga, so we'll be able to see what he can do in the khl. still probably won't see much ice time but there's more of an opportunity for him than in yaroslavl.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Holy hell... I just looked, and Ryan Murphy is #26 all time in games played Canes defensemen. He's barely behind Anton Babchuk and ahead of guys like Seidenberg, Coffey, Sekera, Chiasson who felt like they spent way more time here than Murphy. That dude really managed to sneak in a lot of garbage-time appearances during lost seasons.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

It may be, but it certainly isn't some sort of cakewalk of a league, particularly in the conference that Slepets plays in.

Random thought: I work in the public sector. Their are people pulling 30 years of garbage-time. Literally doing jack shit for 30 f***ing years.

He's on the first line for Riga's game going on right now. It's scoreless after one between the two Dynamos (Riga and Moscow).

 

[DougieSmash]

1 - Necas
2 - Bean
3 - Suzuki
4 - Rees
5 - Geekie
6 - Priskie

Why Priskie over Luostarinen/Sellgren?

 

[DaveG]

Why Priskie over Luostarinen/Sellgren?

Luostarinen is a tossup, but by all accounts Priskie has been excellent in Charlotte so far

 

[Incubajerks]

Priskie Business

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Suzuki
Eetu
Geekie
Priskie
Rees
Gauthier
Bean
Bokk (if he shows regular defensive tendencies this season he'll move up)

(necas graduated in my opinion)

Eetu may graduate if Haula is out for a long time.

 

[bleedgreen]

I’d have Rees pretty high in mine. He was considered a pesky all around guy with heart, but lacked maybe some of the offense. He’s crushing offense right now, and of course maybe it doesn’t translate but you have to consider his development when slotting him. To me he’s almost neck and neck with Suzuki, and has passed Geekie and Goat. Eetu has really stepped to the plate too. I might have Suzuki, Rees and Eetu as my top three and I’m not sure I’ve got the order right.

 

[NotOpie]

Don't sleep on Blake Murray. He's got as many goals as Rees and was touted as a goal scorer when he came into juniors. He put up 30 last season and has 12 markers this year on a pretty pedestrian Sudbury team.

I know nothing about this fellow. He scored 30 goals in his draft year on a meh team, is 6’2 and got picked late in the 6th round. Is my assumption that he makes Viktor Rask look like Pavel Bure an accurate one?
