Prospect Info: The Prospect Thread (Part XXXI)

[VanJack]

No you don't
You don't trade a struggling young prospect for a average NHL player that's a POS off the ice.

Canucks right now are dead and buried as a lottery team, even if they don't yet know it....trading a guy like Virtanen for Kane wouldn't change a thing...at some point Benning is going to have to run up the white flag on this season and admit to a rebuild, and you don't dump a sixth overall pick for a problem player who'll be a UFA in two seasons.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Good to know the Canucks reallllllly wanted him then

Alex Nylander has 13 points in 18 AHL games on a truly terrible Rochester team. The guy is 18 years old. Those Nylander brothers are good.



Ugh, Virtanen gets an assist on an ENG but absent for the other 4 goals while the rest of Utica's weak lineup got the goals. The Virtanen pick becomes more and more of a disaster each day.

Both gents taken right after Virtanen are about PPG in the NHL this year. *sigh*

Yup...two players that the majority of Canuck fans were screaming for. I watched as much as I possibly could for all Three and desperately wanted Nylander. I suppose this gets rehashed over and over and over.

I guess Haydn Fleury is PPG if you think 0/0 still counts as PPG.

yeah but that's cause Carolina went off the board because they wanted a defenseman ala what we did last draft.

What do you guys think we have in Adam Gaudette?

Not a high draft pick, meh draft year numbers, surprised with his offense in his second year, now he's exploded and is arguably our best prospect number wise this year...

3rd liner like we said he would be when we drafted him?
Or is he now a legit prospect with 1st line upside?

I know his team stats... I'm asking what he projects as at the NHL level

I'd still be happy if he's a good 3rd liner, I really don't think he's gonna become a 1st liner in the NHL. Remember Cassels 81 points 54 games, "shutdown McDavid", and OHL coaches voted him second in Smartest Player, Hardest Worker, Best Playmaker, Best on Face-Offs, and Best Defensive Forward. People started overhyping him to be more then a 3rd liner, now he's a long shot to ever make it and struggling in the AHL. I could see Gaudette being a middle sixer but honestly him being a descent bottom sixer is a win.

Except Cassels was in his 4th year in junior... Gaudette is a sophmore and putting almost the same PPG in a tougher league.

What is striking to me is how the top 3 have scored almost 2/3rds of the teams goals. I presume they are all on one line which begs the question. Who is driving that line? Makes projecting his future rather difficult. Linden Vey looked good playing with Pearson and Toffoli in the AHL yet one of them failed to do anything at the NHL level.

Getting juolevis goal up in a few minutes

I'm too lazy to look at the numbers to actually verify this, but Sikura and Gaudette seem to be the ones getting the primary points when I watch them. Gaudette is the defensively responsible and crafty playmaker, Sikura is the good skating finisher and Aston-Reese hasn't really left an impression on me. But I really hope Jim has his eyes on him, he's definitely getting a contract once he gets his degree at the end of this year. Production's impressive.

Nice one timer. Does he have any assists?

No assists confirmed bad teammate.

 

[WTG]

Watching Lockwood, seems like he is playing with some confidence, he's really moving out there

Made a couple nice moves to create some scoring chances. He's also forcing the defense back with his speed
