Prospect update. Is a star being born in our system?

A couple of goalies having really good OHL seasons as 19 years. Not drafted. You would think teams like the Oilers would consider picking them up.

Our AHL team is pretty freakin thin on young talent since Miller and Fast got called up. McIlrath scored in back to back games which is almost hard to believe. Think they need another year of rolling the dice on high talent, offensive types. Seemed to work for them 2 years ago.

 

This post is awesome when you factor in the post just before it I flat out said I was down on Nash. Then you bump a post from last year to say see Chuck you were down on Nash...I KNOW I SAID IT TWO DAYS AGO...LOL.
This post is awesome when you factor in how I have been saying ALL SEASON we need a big physical top 9 forward added to be a legit SC threat.

I cannot help lying though...LOL.

Thank you again. You are doing an awesome job of making me look great and making yourself look bad...LOL.

Please keep it up dump. This post has me cracking up. You have spent your whole morning posting at me 100% proving my points...LOL. Can I hire you to work for me and sit in my meetings? Love you buddy. Please keep doing what you do.

 

I posted this yesterday AM dump, so not sure what I got caught denying, but again you do you.

I am here man. Just say the word and I will help you. I care about you bro.

 

Our prospect pool is pretty lame after you get past the guys called up this year. We might have 4-5 forwards who are NHL caliber. Lost Miller, Fast and Hayes from the system as they made the NHL.

Expected Nieves, Lindberg, McIlrath and Kristo to step up. They have not. Lindberg basically is doing what he did last year. Goalies they drafted have been tremendous. Some of the defenseman they drafted have really turned into very good prospects. Other than Duclair, Tambellini and Buchnevich, many of the forward prospects are going nowhere.

 

Kristo is not having a good year? Wasn't he great last year? I see that Thomas has been up for the Habs.

 

Thomas has no NHL ability at this point. His lack of size eventually neutralized his skill. Looked promising but unlike some smaller players, he couldn't figure it out.

Kristo looks like a career AHL guy. I suspect he will be playing in the KHL or elite league soon . The Pack have nothing to look forward to there this season other than Lindberg and maybe Haggerty. Terrible.

Next year the Pack could possibly have Nejezchelb, Walcott, Graves, Duclair, Buchnevich, Nieves, Tambellini, Skjei, Andersson and Donnay. Though, I think at least 2 of those will be on the big club.

 

I agree overall on Thomas, but at least he is playing the NHL at the moment. We thought the Kristo deal was a steal, doesn't sound like it will work out that way. Maybe a whatever deal for both teams.

 

Tambellini had a hat-trick last night. Now has 29 goals. He should be dominating the WHL as an over-age player. Should be very interesting to see what he does in the AHL next season. I would expect him to struggle until he adds another 10-15 pounds.

 

Right now Tambellini is one of few effective prospects other than our 3 top goalie prospects. He had 2 more goals last night.

 

Scoring is way down in the AHL. Only a handful of players average a PPG. It's absurd.

 

That skinny bitch Boo Nieves blocked me on Twitter. I told his sorry skinny ass to hit the weight room and get his head out of his ass. He was becoming a total bust as a second round pick. I'm sick of watching his incompetence. He's too busy drinking and partying in college. He looks like a complete beanpole pussy.

 

Finally a good night for prospects. Walcott had 2 G and 1 A. Looks like a very promising puck moving defenseman. Probably is 2 AHL seasons away. Tambellini had 2 G 2 A. Now has 35 G, 60 points in 49 games in the WHL. He's finally dominating there which he should as an over age player. Skjei had 2 A in a win. Lindberg had 2 A as the Pack scored 8 goals. Halverson with another win. He's now 25-3-2 on the season. Looks like Buchnevich 1 G 1 A in his teams game. That bumb Nieves finally had a point. One place has him listed at 6'3, 200. My butt. He's 6'3, 170 pounds of undedicated, candy ass.

 

Walcott with 1 A and a +3 today. 40 games, 6 G 25 A, +19. Freakin love this kid as a prospect. I can't wait for him to get a full year in the AHL.

 

System looks good. Trade guys like McIlrath, Fast, and picks in the 20's or 2nd round for a run....

 

Good article on Walcott

Trading picks with this system is the definition of a moron. The system is thin up front. Badly thin. They need to stock pile picks. There basically is almost nothing out there. worth picks.

 

Not going all in SMARTLY with Hank 32, our dmen starting to get older, and Nash 30 is the definition of a moron.

But yeah, holding onto late 2nd round picks while the team could use a jolt upfront is smart....

 

Tambellini with 2 G 1 A today. Now with 37 goals, 26 A in 41 games. He's also a +37. He's destroying the league now as he should as an OA player. Now 7th in the league in scoring. Better bulk about another 10 pounds before hitting the AHL.

 

Graves scored his 10th goal of the season. His previous career high was 5. Duclair finally removed his head from his but and had a 2 G 2 A night. Skapski had a nice game for the Pack. He's having a very nice year for a 20 year old goalie in the AHL.

 

Graves clocked in at 102 mph in his teams slap shot skills competition today. Freakin beast.
