September 2024 – Despite being on a prospect team with several first-round picks, Tyler Thorpe was the highlight of the Canadiens’ prospect tournament. His two goals led the team, and he showed significant growth from last season. He looked faster, stronger, more intense, and, of course, big. After an explosion from his D0 to his D+1, we will see if Thorpe truly takes off in his D+2 with the Vancouver Giants. Aaron Itovitch
July 2024 – An August 2005 birthday, Tyler Thorpe is barely an overage prospect, and the Montreal Canadiens opted to take a swing on his physical upside in the fifth round of the 2024 draft. Thorpe’s frame, of 6-5, and 212 pounds immediately makes him an exciting prospect for the team’s future bottom-six. His growing production in the WHL gives optimism on his potential offensive development, going from a six-point rookie year to a 44-point sophomore campaign. Thorpe has a high-end and pro-ready shot, but will need to work on his pacing and skating to fulfill his NHL potential. His frame alone will give him chances many other prospects wouldn’t get, but he will likely finish off the maximum time in junior before making the jump to the pros. Aaron Itovitch
