I got CHL TV for the first time ever this season and I am LOVING it. Quality is absolutely insane. There are a handful of players that I haven't been able to watch much just yet (Mews, Battaglia, Misa, etc.), but here's what I've seen so far from some of the top prospects:

Matvei Gridin with a first period assist + 3 shots already.

*only* 7 points in 8.1 games so far, but that's with an unlucky 3 goals on a team-leading 37 shots (22 dangerous shots) and playing 2-line minutes as he adjusts to a new league/team/etc..

Exciting prospect.

Basha has looked dominant the last few games. Has been flying out there and just hounds the puck every opportunity.

Definitely a few elite offensive qualities in him.

Home boy, supremely skilled, high motor.. at 41?!? Insane value.

Parekh's 2 goals the other night were just that of an elite offensive defenseman. Even better, his second goal came immediately after he drew the 5-on-3 PP just from pissing the opposing player off.

He did have a horrible turnover last game in his own zone as the last man back that led to a goal against, but overall he's very sound positionally. Looks a lot like what I read into a few of the scouting reports that didn't actually mind his defensive game last season. It's not that he's lazy or doesn't care defensively. He's just so smart, positionally sound and good with his stick that he looks disinterested at times. He's certainly not a defensive stud, but this this the most excited I've been for a prospect since Tkachuk.

Morin has looked awesome from what I've seen. 6 assists + 8 shots his last two games, and making so many small slick plays with and without the puck. One play in particular during his 4-assist game was beautiful. No point on the play, but intercepted a pass in the neutral zone on his backhand, sauces it over to his teammate in the same motion, and leads to a nice goal. I suck at explaining plays, but it was so slick.
