Prospect Info: Stockton Heat & All-Purpose Prospect Thread

[OvermanKingGainer]

Is Phillips available for Calgary if there's injury or roster issues?

With Dube looking so good, you'd have to think Phillips is high up on the list of call-ups.

Technically, yes, but I think he was cut and isn't part of the "playoff roster"

I think all rosters are locked because of the bubble. So not for this playoffs, but next season (whenever next is), yes

 

[Fig]

Is Phillips even fully recovered yet? But him not having gone through enough quarantine to be in the bubble makes sense why he's not qualified for this seasons playoffs.

 

[DFF]

Who do you like as a player that may develop into an impact player?

What kind of impact? Top lines impact, None. A couple guys may make the bottom 6 as Rinaldo, Jankowski and maybe Lucic exit the team.

[Henderson Finest]

So if the proposed "Canadian" AHL division happens for next season, and knowing Calgary only signed a 1-year lease that was to cover the 20/21 season, have the Heat played their final game in Stockton?

 

[GumbyCan2]

Are people thinking Gawdin is a late bloomer and can be an NHL player?

I do. He will likely have to continue to bloom later, with the new signings. But...hope he can adjust quickly and continue his professional growth as a player, when he gets a chance to prove himself Flames level.

I always liked the Luke Philp signing as someone who was a student at the U of A and watched a bunch of Bears games. I was a bit apprehensive simply because there aren’t a bunch of guys coming out of USports to play in the NHL, but he was fantastic yesterday.

Seems like he will be one of Stockton’s main drivers along with Phillips, MEP and Zavgorodny. I think he’s a legitimate prospect to make an NHL impact someday.

no, they only moved it to Calgary due to the Pandemic... and San Joaquin County regs

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Ruzicka with 2+1, and Wolf with a redemption big game to help the Heat win their 1st game of the season....I told you guys in the prospect thread that Ruzicka belongs with that B group, and could be knocking on the Flames door by next year.

 

[Mazatt]

Ruzicka with a solid scoring performance again, featuring the power move. Playing all situations and putting up points early in the season


And also a sick set up from Phillips (who is playing a great game in general)


Zary also looking shifty at multiple points;

Of course the stats are hard to acknowledge with the Marlies breaking down defensively, but the Flames prospects looking good are a nice look towards the future

 

[Volica]

Ruzicka low key might be a massive piece for us. It’s honestly, along with Philips and Emilio, the reasons I’m not against going rebuild.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Call up Phillips and Pospisil

 

[super6646]

Why is Phillips in the ahl and Nordstrom and simon and Leivo still regulars?

 

[DFF]

Call up Phillips and Pospisil

Pospisil can give Lucic and the soft boys some lessons

Pospisil can give Lucic and the soft boys some lessons

Which is why we might even see him up this year.

 

[Dack]

Kind of hoping that the WHL BC division doesn't come back. Zary-Ruzicka-Phillips seems like a fun line.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I feel like I’m dreaming. It’s been so long since I’ve seen the Flames have sustained offensive zone pressure.

 

[Mazatt]

It's crazy how once you have moving pieces in the offensive zone there are breakdowns that make room for those cross seam passes. Almost like having a stagnant offense with guys just waiting in spots for the puck is a bad thing...

 

[Volica]

Why is Phillips in the ahl and Nordstrom and simon and Leivo still regulars?

Who knows.
My first reaction was ‘is this a guy you want playing 6 minutes a night in the NHL or putting up PPG+ playing 20 a night in the A.?”

Then I remembered there’s barely energy from our 4th line so who cares. We’re also already easy to play against, adding another munchkin doesn’t do anything there either.

So sad this coach is pissing a year down the drain. Worst in the league ainec.

You call up Phillips/Ruzicka/Pettersson/Pospisil whoever and they get a big "Congrats! You get to play with Nordstrom and Froese!" On top of them being heading out for a shift every 10 minutes. We're seeing it right now with Gawdin. A guy who scored in juniors and in the AHL? Woo, you get to play with Joakim Nordstrom and Buddy Robinson for 5 minutes a night. And what's crazy is that he was one of the few players playing with energy in the 3rd last night. Getting more guys like that wouldn't be an issue that's for sure

Call up anyone you want at this stage I don’t even care. Play Kylington 25 minutes a night even. Who cares? We need a culture reset and the move away from ‘average is good enough’x

Do you know who Emilio is currently playing with, as a line? Read he was named 3rd star of a game, where he went 1+1. That was his first goal as a pro, and also his first multi point pro game. As a Norwegian my self, I have hopes for him. But let's hope his getting his skates wet, at the ahl level first, although a short call up would be exiting for him (and me)
