Prospect Info: The Prospect Thread Part - XXVII

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

Seems to not skate to bad for a giant

yawr his mobility and reach are his best assets. covers a lot of big ice

 

[vanuck]

One name for you: Dmytro Timashov. Below PPG post-draft is bad for an undersized forward and there's no other way to put it. Maybe he improves from here but there's no sugar coating his current performance.

It's immensely frustrating knowing that he was still available with our 4th rounder...

i cant wait for him to lose his first game and three pages of WOAH CALM DOWN, PLEASE, DONT OVER-REACT, JUST HAVE PATIENCE posts flood every thread

So there are no players that would be NHL caliber that left to go back overseas? ****, Biega looks like he could be a solid #6 guy and he can't make the NHL even while playing in the AHL.

He wasn't given a fair shake IMO and decided to go home after spending years here. He played a few games for us and looked very solid, and also played good on the farm. He may not have been able to crack the lineup, but I still think he played well enough to deserve 10-15 games.

He was traded to Florida and then went home. There's a lot more that's happened in the past to be sour about. LOL this is not one of them.

 

[Reign Nateo]

Kind of surprised to hear that Jimbo was going to over to scout him anyway before making a decision....don't the 'Nucks have a plethora of European scouts reporting out on SHL and KHL games?....

You were surprised that the General Manager of an organization was going to scout a potential multi-million dollar investment with his own eyes? This is exactly what a GM should be doing. I'd be flabbergasted if he didn't plan to go see Rodin play before the end of the season...

Especially because he'll want an NHL roster spot right out of the gate or he won't come over.

Timashov sucks, not an NHL talent.

What? I'm not even really sour about it. There are plenty more problems with current and past management, I just happen to think Shirokov could have maybe carved out an NHL career and could have been given a bigger chance.

If anything it's quite odd you're so sour about someone thinking maybe someone made a mistake in not giving Shirokov some more games.

switching to our too tall, i caught Tryamkin's game this morning


did not get scored on which is a good news in a 4-0 loss
thought he did alright being involved offensively. not as overly active though still does a bit
kinda all over the place
did a wee bit too much tried to stretch pass in the 2nd but for the most part thought did "okay" defensively

Too bad you weren't watching the previous game where he had a goal and an assist. Have to settle for the KHL website highlights.

http://video.khl.ru/events/356871?locale=en

He has another game tomorrow at 3:30am Vancouver time. I don't think I'll be getting up for that one. Brynas plays at 7am though, so hopefully there's a decent stream.

Gaudette's game was on TSN2 last night - unfortunately I didn't realize until partway through and was only able to PVR the last two periods. First chance to see him play.

Northeastern is having a surprisingly terrible season (1-8-1 start) but Gaudette is playing a ton so looks like a good developmental situation for him. Was playing on their top line with Anaheim pick Kevin Roy, and was on the top PP unit. Didn't seem to be playing the PK.

Didn't get any points but was fairly impressive. Bit on an odd skating stride but covers ground quickly and plays an advanced three-zone game for a freshman - skated and backchecked hard. Offensively seems to play in straight lines but showed confidence and tried to challenge defenders 1-on-1 to take the puck to the net on a couple occasions. Better puckhandler than expected given his production/scouting report from the USHL. Also showed decent vision/passing ability on his PP shifts. Got dinged for an elbow near the end of the game but don't mind as he showed some edge.

Looked like a 'Hansen-esque' type and a good prospect as a middle-6 forward. Seems like a good pick.

Jim Benning's nephew is on the same team, so you can imagine our GM will be getting multiple looks at him this season.

Main thing I've liked about Gaudette is he appears to be a 'high hockey IQ' player. He's got a lot to improve on, but his baseline skills show some NHL potential.

 

[docbenton]

Ya it seems like his skating is even better than it was, he's really flying around out there. I'm kind of surprised how deep he is on a lot of plays, but mostly seems to bet back fine.

It appears Lukas Jasek is playing some games in the U20 Czech League instead of for the main club (9 games for the main club but hasn't played for them since mid-October)

That's pretty damn impressive when you compare them to the other players on his team.

at least he's tearing up in that league...

10 points in 3 games? What the hell is he doing in this league?Czech U20 League Gretzky?

 

[NuxFan09]

Boeser adds another assist to make it 3 points on the night and we're only halfway through the 2nd period.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Zhukenov finished with a goal, and an assist up to 4G, 13A, 17pts in 18 Gp.

Note* He also saw some time on the top PP, this is good news.

 

[NuxFan09]

1 goal, 3 assists, 2 shots and a +3 rating for Boeser on the night.

 

[TheWanderer]

Geez Boeser is just playing monstrous hockey. Would you guys say he's tracking really well for his Draft +1? I don't know much about the NCAA

For reference Johhny guadreau put up a PPG season in his draft +1 season.

Boeser is 1 point over PPG so far this season and is leading his team in goals.

So yeah, he is tracking incredibly well. Better than McCann in his draft +1 season.

Yes, almost every single PPG freshman first rounder has turned into a top 6 player in the NHL. Small sample size but still. It's not an easy league for freshman to dominate, and there's some who were about 0.6ppg who nonethless became very solid players (Wheeler, Kreider, Bjugstad). Here's a list going back to 2004.

0-19pts: Patrick White, Jim O'Brien, Daulton Leveille, Kyle Palmieri, Riley Sheahan, Kevin Hayes, Tyler Biggs, Mark Jankowski
20-25pts: Kris Chucko, Blake Wheeler, Jack Skille, Louis Leblanc, Chris Kreider, Nick Bjugstad, Beau Bennett, Brock Nelson
26-35pts: Drew Stafford, Andrew Cogliano, Kyle Turris, JVR, Colin Wilson, Joe Colborne, Charlie Coyle, Alex Tuch, Nick Schmaltz
36+pts: Travis Zajac, TJ Oshie, Jonathan Toews, Phil Kessel, Kyle Okposo, Max Pacioretty, Jordan Schroeder, Jaden Schwartz, Dylan Larkin, Jack Eichel

Gaudreau was also PPG in his draft+1 freshman year.
