I've been looking forward to seeing how he develops ever since development camp.

An extremely fast skater.

After a slow start, Pitlick is now just 1 point under a point per game.

Should this be considered awesome/on par/deceiving for a 5th round pick in the USHL?

I'd say it's a positive sign. Mitch Brown is high on him.

if you look up a few posts to #121 I posted some comparables from past Hab prospects in the USHL.

Oh thanks, sorry I didn’t see that post. Well I hope he’s gonna be a beast in the NCAA next year

that's because I moved it from the prospect thread to this thread to drum up some talk about him as he appears to be our next underrated prospect.

what I like to see,

pre trade - 17-4-7-11 Even 0 pims (.65 ppg)

post trade - 17-7-15-22 +9 12 pims (1.29 ppg)

It will be very interesting to see how he does at Minnesota next year, I think they have a good coach but last year the program disappointed and so far this year it hasn't been too much better but we'll see how it ends up.

What it looks like he needs to work on is his consistency, in just 7 of his 34 games he has 19 of his 33 pts so in 27 games he has just 15 pts although what really hurt him was on his first team he was held pointless in 9 of his 17 games, ouch.

 

[montreal]

since being traded from Omaha to Muskegon he's gone from a .65 ppg to a 1.11 which among U-19 players if he played all 45 games at the 1.11 ppg he would be top 10 in scoring.

Honestly have not seen any of this kid. Does he seem like a kid that can progress and make it or more of a guy that hits the AHL (and potentially not even) and then be moved around

wait till we see him play a year or two in the NCAA and then we'll get a better read on him. Right now he has NHL speed/skating but needs to add mass, strength. Should be very interesting to see how he does at Minnesota next year and it should be fun to watch him play vs Caufield as they are both in the Big Ten so they should face each other a few times.

If they have a summer camp, I hope he gets invited to it for Team USA.

Was this year a typically better year than maybe some expected? Honestly I follow all (most)prospects but he's the only one im shy on info for, and seems like he's someone id like to watch progress

not really, would have preferred more points but it's hard to say as he was on one team that wasn't doing so well and then he gets traded to another team and does much better there despite being on a worse team. I didn't get to see a ton of him but in the games I saw he was impressive but appears to have struggled a bit with consistency. That's why I want to see how he does next year at Minnesota, they didn't have a great team but a better team then Caufield's with a much better coach imo.

Awesome, yes I know abit about Minnesota so ill def be watching out next year, thanks

 

[tinyzombies]

He really stood out at development camp I thought.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He's the best pure skater in our entire pool right now, he's wicked fast. I still expect good things from him.

He did... Speedy and full of energy for a small guy. Bust/Hit type pick. Could turn into a Weal type player or he could be dynamic. Probably turns into a Weal type player. Finding a top 6 forward in the 5th round? That's rare, very rare!

Our next Gallagher? Would be nice but I'd be surprised. Next level to watch is what he can do in the NCAA at 19/20 next season

 

[Habs Halifax]

Looks like both Pitlick and Koster will be joining each other in their 1st NCAA season in Minnesota. Played high school together and both have very good stats that lead the all time points for their High schools.

It will be interesting to discover how good his hands and hockey sense are over the next few years.

Todd Marchand, Jan Bulis, Paul Byron, Maxime LaPierre, Mason Raymond, and ... Pavel Bure are players that come to mind when it comes to extra gear speed.

He's a little bolt of energy from what I have heard about him. Solid use of a 5th round pick. We can allow him to develop in the NCAA like Evans did and then we can see if we want to sign him after he has at least two NCAA seasons

Pitlick is playing at the South Florida 3v3. It's a summer league in Pompano Beach. He's with Team Kodsi (Black Jersey).
