No and no It was always likely to be evaluated after the season and with the year hes had, there is no doubt hes worth the contract By getting this done now, they can put his signing bonus over 4 years instead of 3 (assuming hes back in junior), saving a few thousand against the cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 What are realistic expectations/projection at pro or NHL level? I know he has another year in junior and world junior experience also. 2nd line winger most likely i assume, with ceiling being average 1st line winger?

Realistic is that he's a borderline NHLer - look at how many promising prospects flame out, even ones near the top of their junior league in scoring. His ceiling is a top 6 winger, but the odds are against him reaching that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the latter, I don't think he takes up a current slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No He doesnt take a contract slot as an ELC slide doesn't count to the 50 His contract is also 2022-23 so that is another reason its not againstour current 50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ceiling is a top 6 winger, but the odds are against him reaching that. Most top scorers in junior are 4th year-20yr olds and those guys are simply dominating teenagers. Even the other top scorer Roy is duking it out with for scoring race is an older 2019 draft pick. I agree vast majority of prospects dont ever amount to much in NHL even if shine in juniors. But, as the #1 pick in the Q a couple years and now looking like a #1 pick should be as 18 yr old, i am not as pessimistic about him as you are, thats all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the early first-round picks, the odds against becoming an NHL regular climb rapidly. The more relevant question is to ask what a realistic ceiling might be, and then to remember that a ceiling is far from a sure thing.

No question it's still a long road to become a regular in the NHL but you have to be pleased with his progress considering he was a 5th round pick.

I wouldn’t say he’s ready for the NHL but it feels like a bigger challenge could benefit him But, too young for AHL, if shines in pre-season (where he stood out last year) maybe will get a game or 8, but I dont expect him to turn pro. Absolutely no reason to fast track him though. Should be interesting training camp. Guhle, Harris, Barron, Xhekaj-Norlinder-Brook are nice group, the last 3 I dont have big expectations for, but hope they can surprise.

Unless he takes a big jump this summer, you are kinda stuck putting him back in junior. Id have him focused on skating while there and also hope he can make the WJ team.
