Re: Prospects Thread
In addition to Hutson's Calder nom and Demidov arriving in style, the Laval Rocket are in the third round of the AHL playoffs with a team led by prospects. Pretty rare for an AHL team.
Reinbacher, Mailloux, Engstrom are the Big 3 on defence.
Xhekaj is their shutdown centre.
Farrell, Beck, Roy, Davidson are all getting points.
Kapanen is straight up too good for the AHL. He's an NHLer.
Fowler went straight from college to shutting out AHL teams.

Laval is probably gonna get destroyed by Charlotte in the east final, but I love what I’m seeing from Reinbacher and Engstrom. They can move the puck and Reinbacher has a crazy reach too. Nasty player.
Mailloux is a physical beast, he can really lay out guys. Just needs to not make so many boneheaded plays with the puck.

Rocket got destroyed by the much older Checkers, as expected.
Meanwhile, the ECHL affiliate in Trois-Rivières won the Kelly Cup a year after nearly going bankrupt. No prospects on the team, unless you count former Avs forward Alex Beaucage.

Ah yes, Beaucage. Shoots like a cannon, skates like a poisoned snail.E.L. wrote: Sat Jun 07, 2025 9:26 pm Rocket got destroyed by the much older Checkers, as expected.

Anyway, some kid named Lane Hutson won the Calder. Congrats. It wasn't even really that close IMO.
