Great to see Malone playing so high in that lineup. Seems like a lot of our college draft picks are getting really good opportunities this year (at least early on): You can replace “TBA” with “2C” for Perkins. Which is a great opportunity for the freshman! Especially on a UMD team with 8 NHL drafted players, including all four of their centremen. Perkins is the only freshman playing centre for the Bulldogs, and he’s one of only three 2004 born players on the entire roster. And Tom Willander should be on BU’s 1st pairing (alongside Lane Hutson) soon. Also, are we missing a Ty Mueller thread? I didn’t see one. But he’s playing first line centre for Omaha. EDIT: Matthew Perkins needs a thread here too, I think? Edited October 8, 2023 by SISMIM 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope if Malone has a monster season he still signs with us. He’ll have lots of options after this season if he does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll have lots of options after this season if he does. It’s going to be interesting to see what kind of numbers he puts up this season, especially if he keeps his spot on the first line of that stacked BU team. On one hand, you’d sort of expect big numbers from Malone, simply because he’s technically a “5th year” college player. However, he’s also still just 22 (turning 23 soon) whereas quite a few of the 5th years last season were pushing 25/26 years old. So Malone is relatively young, at least by comparison. He also hasn’t really been gifted many opportunities to play prime offensive minutes with high quality linemates, in his NCAA career to-date, so it should be informative to see how high he can push his scoring totals in those conditions (assuming he stays in the top-six).

Definitely a great opportunity, and hopefully he makes the most of.it and gets to continue there. But, to me at least, it seems like hes simply being gifted that spot due to the fact the 2 RWers below him are freshmen and NCAA teams are much like Euro pro teams that prioritize age and years played over actual skill level unless that skill is completely undeniable. Honestly, I fully expect him to lose that top line spot to Leonard before the midpoint of the season. That being said I hope I am very much proven wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Still not sure if the Canucks will offer him an ELC. They might offer an ATO, but likely won't get one. His rights expire on August 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 IMO; none of the remaining players on the reserve list that would need to be signed this year are going to be offered an ELC. Malone or Jacob Truscott might be offered either an ATO or AHL contract but doubtful that will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoop Hogg Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 What will our prospects pool look like post-Malone if we don’t sign him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Prospects pool will be added to at this years draft so not to concerned if he is not signed. Of all the players drafted only a few are signed to ELC's. Players that decisions will have to be made on next year are Forsell, LW, 20, 7th rnd.; Gabrielsson, LD, 21, 6th rnd.; Jasek, RW, 27, 6th rnd. and Kunz, C/LW/RW, 21, 4th rnd.

Citing lack of room for development due to signing Hirose, bringing over D-Petey, and emergence of Kudryavtsev. Truscott has spent his whole hockey development career in the state of Michigan. Makes me think he probably wants to either play for Detroit or stay out East along with finding a team that will give him development priority.

Yeah; I think he saw the writing on the wall and his agent has been looking for better opportunities elsewhere.

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Capfriendly suggests his rights are still held by Vancouver, but could be interesting if he isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t even make sense you can’t sign a player if they’re still in college. He will be a free agent this summer I think. EDIT: Unless that USHL season counts.

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 Seems like Dhaliwal was correct...we lost his rights last summer. Probably can close this prospect thread now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
