Prospect update. Kravtsov 8 g 21 points in 48 games. His team sucks. Hopefully they miss the playoffs and he can come over. Should dominate playing with good players. Miller 22 points in 26 games. Got hurt but should be back. Huge freshman season. Lundkvist 10 points in 36 games. Reports are he is playing great. Should make the NHL soon. Lindbom hasn't played much or done crap this year. Never liked this pick. Gross 17 points in 48 games +16. This to me is a sleeper. Stay at home guy. Good potential on D Andersson 20 points in 36 games -24. Obviously, not happy with Quinn and being sent down. This off season is huge for him. Might be dealt. Still think he's a winner long term. Sjalin 7 points in 17 games on D. Some people really like him but he seems brittle. Barron 12 G 28 P in 25 games. Huge at 6'3 , 214. Has a good chance to be a good pro. Great late round pick. Reunanen 21 points in 50 games on D. Many raving about him. Clark said he should have been a 1st rounder if not for an injury in draft year. Looks like a steal. Gettinger 11 G 21 P in 44 games. Nice AHL debut. Looks solid to be a 4th line, Boyle type in a couple of years. Fontaine 19 points in 51 games. Love him as a 4th liner. So much better than his numbers. Clutch. Wall .924 save % 2.03 GA. Good size for a goalie. Looking forward to BA working with him. Huska .899 save %. Guy was unreal in the world juniors on a clown team. His college team sucks. Can't wait for him to work with BA. Halverson .897 save % for Pack. Most given up on him. I haven't. BA can work wonders. Shesterkin 1.15 GA, .951 save %, 9 shutouts. Yeah, his team is great but this guy from all scouts is the real deal. Drooling now. Hank is the backup soon. Day and Ronning. Lots of talent. Still a punchers chance. Thought Ronning would do much better. Still have hope for him.
Don't forget Keane too. Day actually scored an AHL goal last week so maybe somehow he can get it together. Not sure why Gropp never could.
Rykov is supposedly progressing well as a top pair guy in Russia, even though that probably translates to a good 4/5 here.
Ronning recalled to Pack. A goal in each of his games back. Let's see if he makes it 3 games in a row with a goal.
The Pack are starting to look like a team that has quit on their coach. That place is an absolute mess. They need to fix the situation down there immediately.
Sounds like Kravtsov could be headed over in the next week or so. Maybe they play him a few games in Hartford then let him get 7-8g here to keep his ELC intact.
As per moron Brooks today. He can't play in the NHL or he would lose his protection for the expansion draft. However, he could play in the AHL. Our AHL team, coaching staff and GM sucks ass there. It would be interesting to see if he could still dominate in that incompetent environment.
I think Brooks is wrong as i saw something today that regardless if he plays less than 10g and even burns an ELC year that he would still be exempt from the Seattle draft. I'm a little wary of him playing in Hartford as there are some goons in that league who may try something stupid on him.
