Saw this quote from Angus tonight and thought of this conversation.

@anguscertified: Great pass by Zack Kassian on the opening goal. Finds pinching d-man in the slot. Continues to show terrific playmaking ability.

I don't think anyone should sell him short. By all accounts, he's looked good this year and seems to be progressing nicely.

I know he's not a prospect anymore, but since that wasn't exactly what the OP was looking for... What about a guy like Cal Clutterbuck? Hes still youngish, and has been slowly trending upward, and obviously has a huge number of hits. He may not be the next Perry, but maybe the next Backes.

Actually it's exactly what I'm looking for - prospects.

I really can't see Clutterbuck having what it takes to take the next step forward offensively. He's not skilled enough to do that. He'll be pretty much what he already is - and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. He's already a stud in leagues with hits as a category.

Any good power forward prospects in this years draft class?

Ranked 6th best forward from the O

I haven't read through the entire thread but Tom Wilson comes to mind quickly as he's been rising fast amongst Caps fans don't know about the rest of the league though.

Thanks.

Does Kerby Rychel fit the bill? Does he project to be a PIM guy in NHL and does his game have the hitting element in it?

I've only watched 5 or so Spits games this year, but I was never a fan of Rychel. He does play that type of game for Windsor and tends to score the bang in goals but I'm just not sure how his game will translate.

What about Jaskin? I know he nailed MacKinnon pretty good earlier in the year. Is that typical of his game? PIM #s aren't huge, but he hit 73 this year, in addition to great offensive numbers. Martin Frk? I know he's a Detroit pick, and thus never going to play any time soon, but he does hit and put up PIMs and has some skill.

Was looking to see if he's been mentioned. Managed to snag him I. Free agency in my dynasty league. He had a few seasons over 100 pim in the W, but seems to not fight as much in the AHL.
