Prospects

Looked back all the way to last season to find a thread about Nadeau to post this in.

Maybe a pinned thread to discuss all of the teams prospects throughout the hockey world would spur more discussion...

He's still pretty young.  Do you think we'll see him crack the NHL roster next year?

I would have to imagine he'll be up with the big boys, at least part time, next season.

Amir was a decent prospect for TB before realizing that if he ever cracked the NHL he would have to live in Florida, and bolting for the KHL.

Dudes got decent size and good numbers over in mother Russia. Was a former teammate of Pyotr Kochetkov. Is the current best friend of Andrei Svechnikov. And, went viral a few months ago for this masterpiece of interpersonal communication...

I wouldn't be surprised to Nadeau and FUS both up depending on what Staal decides (which I think he has at least another season in him).

I think next year is make or break for Suzuki.

Suzuki is an AHL guy at this point he's not ever gonna be a full time NHLer

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
