Prospect Ramblings: 2020 Draft Eligibles – Holloway, Quinn, Perfetti
Prospect Ramblings: Holloway, Quinn and Perfetti Shift Work For this Sunday’s Prospect Ramblings, I’ve decided to look at a couple of shifts for three draft-eligible prospects. I asked my followers for who [...]
Prospect Deep Dive: Jeremie Poirier
It’s going to be easy to get lost in the mix of defenseman drafted in the mid to late first round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. With upwards of eight blueliners potentially being [...]
August 31-in-31: Dallas Stars
Just two years removed from a division championship, the Stars will look to regain that status. They have all the tools with the likes of Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin leading the way, with improved defensive pairings and goaltending. With all the veterans, the Stars are built to win now, [...]
Prospects Rambling: Summer Showcase Wrap / Blue Lines – Finland or Sweden?
Have you seen Casey Mittelstadt lately? Buffalo must be overjoyed with his work at the Summer Showcase, especially following a superb performance at Sabres’ Development Camp a few weeks ago. He assertively registered nine points (six assists and three goals in just ten shots) over five games with Team [...]
August 31-in-31: Columbus Blue Jackets
That was the Blue Jackets’ best year yet. Vaulting from their previous 34-40-8 campaign and just 76 points (fourth-worst in the league), they earned the NHL’s fourth-highest point total with 108 and a 50-24-8 record landing their first playoff berth since 2013-14, tasting the postseason for only the third time [...]
August 31-in-31: Colorado Avalanche
The good news for the Avs is that it can't get much worse. After a disaterous 2016-17, the organization has stocked up on some NHL depth and some smooth-skating prospects (see my Entry Draft article here). The road back to respectability will be a long one, but the team [...]

Rossy’s Thursday Prospect Ramblings
Today's ramblings look at the Connor McDavid show, recaps the progress of 2014 1st rounders and applauds the Leafs' Mark Hunter addition...
Thursday, October 23rd
Continuing from Tuesday’s ramblings, let’s get back to reviewing the progress of the prospects drafted in the first round of the 2014 draft.
***
Previously, John Quenneville (30th) to Robby Fabbri (21st) were covered and now it’s time to examine the start prospects Nick Schmaltz (20th) to Kevin Fiala (11th) have gotten off to.
20th – Nick Schmaltz (Chicago Blackhawks) – An aggressive move to trade up to acquire Schmaltz on draft day, it will be interesting to see how this dazzling playmaker progresses in the Blackhawks system. North Dakota’s freshman is showing no problems transitioning to the collegiate game with one goal and four points through four games.
19th – Anthony DeAngelo (Tampa Bay Lightning) – It’s an odd sight to look at the OHL’s defensive scoring leaders and not see Sarnia’s Anthony DeAngelo leading the pack but with one goal and eight points through his first half-dozen games, we’re not panicking. After impressing the Lightning during training camp, DeAngelo has returned to Sarnia rejuvenated. There has been a minor blip on his young season as the New Jersey defender has already served a two-game suspension for his altercation with an official.
