Ranking Prospects 2019-2020

He was always at least a good prospect. The problem was drafting him ahead of some better bets in Girard and Debrincat.

So, Korshkov might actually turn out to be a player. 

He's followed up his strong camp by putting up 5 goals in 8 games so far with the Marlies.

I can't believe it. 
He's a big kid that plays the rougher type of game as well. Kid has a great shot and can skate pretty good. I liked him from the first game I saw him.

I don't think he was always a good prospect at all.  There was criticism at the time, and I think it was warranted, and he never put up any big numbers in the KHL.

Most around here, including me, had written him off a long time ago.

If you know the KHL, you?ll know prospects don?t really get minutes (unless they?re like top 5 caliber). Korshkov had no opportunity to do anything.

I think that's part of the reason he came across the pond?

That's a woeful list of prospects, which should be alarming to everyone.
Why, I can see at least 6 on the team at some point; Sandin, Launchinpad, Roberstson, Woll,Hollowell and perhaps Bracco.

I agree. I think they've got some good prospects. If right wing wasn't so loaded right now, Bracco would be here. Korshkov is looking like a player too.

Also the list is limited to on those signed at draft or NHL contracts thus we get no mention of Justin Brazeau, Hudson Elynuik, Kristians Rubins and Co.), are ineligible.

Brazeau and Hudson are sleepers, Rubins is with the Marlies and 6'5" all the time.
 
And if Hutchison should fail or go down in battle, who will pick up the torch of back up and carry it into the warring fray?............perhaps;

Kasimir Kaskisuo stopped 29 of 31 shots he faced. Kaskisuo is now 6-1-1-0 on the season with a .927 Save Percentage and a 2.13 Goals Against Average.
 
Just reading the European prospect report at PPP.

Seems R?s?nen is not getting much playing time.  One would think he would highly benefit from a year on the Growlers and then some Marlies time... Seems like a wasted resource and strange Dubas is not flexing his muscles on this guy.
Perhaps wants to distance himself from all of Hunter's big man choices.  Or perhaps there is not any upside at all which I find bizarre. From all accounts he can skate Ok, is 6'6" all the time and likes to hit people, which means sandpaper

On the other hand Kara is getting some kudo's. Another guy who should be in our system.
 
Joseph Woll has started 16 games, and has a 6-8 record with 3.50 GAA and an .892 SV%.

In comparison, Kaskisuo has started 18 games, and has an 11-4 record with 2.57 GAA and .914 SV%.

Do we think that there's cap space to re-sign Andersen after next season?

Depends on the ask. Pretty sure if Freddie doesn't fall of the edge of the earth next year, they'll try to re-sign him.
 
Freddie will be what 31-32 by the end of next year.  I would be hesitant to over anyone over 32 a long term deal and Freddie may want another 5 year deal.  I would be good for a 3 year at a slight increase.

Given what Bob and Price got, Andersen is going to feel he's worth a lot more than a mild raise on a 3-year deal.

Suppose Andersen asks for 8 million over 7 years.  Do you let him go to free agency?  What other goaltender do you try to sign?
 
Don't think we can afford that price or term. No more Robidas Island deals. I am going to worry about this one in about a year.
