The Official PROSPECT BRAG Thread

[Fan.At]

pfft.... come on he had 4 points against RMU (Robert Morris University). No disrespect to the RMU team but it was just too easy. Just wait till he comes up against the rest of the WCHA, the best competition in collegiate hockey.

8 points in 2 games against robert morris i'll take it. thats what he is supposed to do, right. dominate against the below average teams

in 4 games, he has now 5 goals and 7 assists

Undrafted free agent signee prospect Gabe Gauther is leading the AHL in scoring with 3 goals and 11 points through only 6 games.

 

[Dryden]

Tyson Sexsmith: Through his first 12 gamess of the season, Sexsmith is 9-1-1-1. He currently leads all WHL goalies in wins (9) and shut-outs (2). He has allowed just 21 goals against, giving him a 1.72 GAA and he is currently sporting a save percentage of 0.916.

 

[Andrew Chang-Sang]

Not too much to brag about in Washington but 2007 pick Brett MacLean is off to a good start in the OHL playing alongside John Tavares. MacLean has 16 points in only 7 games.

Kennedy was named AHL Player of the Week for the 1st week of the season.

Soon, we will see young Tyler skating with Mr. Crosby.

(Ok, not likely, but a boy can dream)

Welcome to the NHL Tyler Kennedy! He was fantastic his first game on a line with Mark Recchi and Adam Hall. That line turned the momentum in their game around so the Penguins could gain a point in a game where they were dominated the first 30 minutes.

Also, 2007 draft pick Yannick Weber is 2nd in the OHL in defenseman scoring trailing 2006 1st rounder Bobby Sanguinetti with 20 points in 13 games for Kitchener.

 

[MatthewFlames]

...welcome to the NHL Devin Setoguchi... 2 goals in his debut... and in the same game... Lukas Kaspar played 16 minutes in his NHL debut.


EDIT: and he is the NHL 1st star of the night... woohoo...

 

[spintheblackcircle]

<----- is more excited about Seto than Kennedy.

Spaling is currently 5th in the OHL in points with 25 and 2nd in the OHL in goals with 15 in 14 games. He is one of the auto picks I am happy with thus far.

 

[Default101]

The OHL has announced today that the following Coyotes prospects will be part of the Canada/Russia Challenge...

Matt Halischuk (Kitchener Rangers)
Mark Katic (Sarnia Sting)
Josh Godfrey (Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds)

Weber with a natural hat trick in the 3rd period last night. woof!

 

[MatthewFlames]

Ok ok. Not really been much to brag about as far as Steve Downie is concerned this season - but he's scored points in every one of his first 5 pro games - and has 7 assists in 5 games in the AHL.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

<----- is more excited about Seto than Kennedy.

That Seto has hands of a stone cold finisher. His 2 goals last night were fantastic.

well Tlusty has 2G, 1A, 3PTS in 7 games and has looked good, who would have thought we would have a productive scorer, and a pornstar when we got tlusty's rights... but in all seriousness that was pretty sad for someone to put that kind of stuff out on tlusty, he's a great player, and teenagers do strange and stupid things, and it isn't going to change our opinions whatsoever about this guy's talent.

 

[HFNHL Canadiens]

David Perron (F) has 7pts in his first 8 games with the Blues, but isn't a pornstar
Ondrej Pavelec (G) is now the starter for Atlanta and has a 2.71 GAA and 0.917sv%
Bob Sanguinetti (D) is 6th in scoring in the OHL with 15g, 19a 34pts in 20 games
Nick Spaling (F) is 8th in scoring in the OHL with 19g, 14a, 33pts in 20 games

No denying he's a talented kid, but thats is just complete stupidity to put something like that out on the internet and nobody's fault but his.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

But who cares?

But who cares?

Tlusty problably

 

[MatthewFlames]

HaHa. It's amazing how much media attention, and I mean, serious media attention this things getting, so much so that the frggin Leafs management are putting out statements, the player is as well, and the coach has to answer questions about it... Personally I think everyone is taking it a little seriously... I like Wade Belaks response best - where he commented that he's gonna have to stop his own nudity. C'mon people. It's just a little teenage stupidity and a little nudity.

Matt Moulson has 2 goals and 1 assist in 5 games with the Kings since being recalled, and perhaps can solidfy himself in the lineup.

3 Panther prospects have been traded in the past week.

Geoff Platt finally leaves the Columbus franchise after not getting a sufficient chance despite putting up good numbers (although his AHL numbers are down this year, apparently because he's been battling injuries). He's now in Anaheim where I'm really hoping he gets a chance at some point this season because I think his style of play would fit really well with the Ducks.

Goaltender Michal Neuvirth gets traded from Plymouth to Windsor where he's likely to finally get a number 1 job to his own (although not completely certain). Defenseman Kiril Tulupov goes to Victoriaville in another CHL trade.

Cal O'Reilly - 13 games, 4 goals, 8 assists, 12 points (Milwaukee - AHL)
James Van Riemsdyk - 7 games, 3 goals, 5 assists, 8 points (New Hampshire, NCAA)
Bryan Little - 18 games, 2 goals, 5 assists, 7 points (Atlanta - NHL)
Felix Schutz - 15 games, 4 goals, 8 assists, 12 points (Ingolstadt ERC - DEL)
Nick Dodge - 10 games, 3 goals, 5 assists, 8 points (Clarkson, NCAA)
Benn Ferreiro - 9 games, 2 goals, 6 assists, 8 points (Boston College, NCAA)
Tom Gilbert - 19 games, 2 goals, 3 assists, 5 points (Edmonton, NHL)
Keith Yandle - 17 games, 1 goal, 8 assists, 9 points (San Antonio - AHL)
Vladimir Ruzicka - 20 games, 2 goals, 6 assists, 8 points (Slavia Praha HC - Czech)
Tyler Ruegsegger - 8 games, 4 goals, 4 assists, 8 points (Denver, NCAA)
Kaspars Daugavins - 19 games, 11 goals, 11 assists, 22 points, leads Mississauga in scoring by 10 points. (Mississauga, OHL)

In other news, Panther prospect Victor Oreskovich has mysteriously decided to retire from hockey months after signing his first professional contract with the Avs.

Michigan State Junior Tim Kennedy is leading the NCAA with 10 goals in 10 games.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Andrew Bodnarchuk was names QMJHL defenseman of the week with a goal and 5 assists in 4 games last week. He then added a goal and 2 assists in the Russia-QMJHL opening game and was also team captain for the match.

Updates from the Columbus Blue Jackets' farm system:

Darren Haydar (10/1/5/6) and Chris Conner (8/2/1/3) have both made the jump to the NHL for the time being, Haydar with Atlanta and Conner with Dallas. Congratulations, boys!

Nikolai Kulemin is tearing up the RSL once again, with 14 goals and 20 points in 24 games. He should be a major addition to the Toronto Maple Leafs next season.

Tuomas Tarkki picked up where he left off last season. For those of you not familiar with Tarkki, he played in the US college ranks, the ECHL and AHL before returning to Finland, where he carried Karpat to a 2007 championship, earing top gaa, top save% top goaltender and all-star nods along the way. He seems to be continuing the trend this seaosn, boasting a .929 save% after 19 games. He should be a serious candidate for an NHL team looking to bring in netminding help next summer.

Undrafted netminder Kris Lazaruk has turned around his WHL career with his move to Kootenay, where he's sporting a 2.55 gaa and .918 save% in 17 starts. Also in the Dub, ex-Hitman Robin Figren has 11 goals and 19 points in 21 games to lead the expansion Edmonton Oil Kings.

In US college action, Jackets draft picks Blake Geoffrion (3/2006), Ryan McDonagh (1/2007) and Brendan Smith (3/2007) have been a big part of Wisconsin's early success, with 8, 8 and 4 points respectively over the first 10 games. Max Pacioretty (1/2007), meanwhile, is making a splash with Michigan, where his 11 points in 12 games have him tied for 6th in Freshman scoring.

 

[MatthewFlames]

I know it was only Denmark - but Flame prospect Mikael Backlund has 2 goals (both SH), 2 assists in the 10-1 win. Patrick Berglund also scored his second goal in as many games for Sweden.
