Is it possible that we finally have nabbed a top player in a later round? When was the last time that happened for the Flames?
Gary Suter? Brett Hull? Sergei Makarov?

Who, Wahl?
Pull back those thoughts. I don't think he is any better then past 1st round picks in Lombardi and Boyd. I mean Wahl was picked in the 2nd round, not really a later round.

aren't you guys getting awfully excited about just a couple weeks worth of hockey? everyone has good streaks and bad. a guy puts up 4 points in 2 games and all of a sudden he is the next gretzky...

You're right, I'm getting too excited. I just really would like this organization to 'steal' a player for once (Phaneuf aside).

You guys? It was really only Ronald who took it too far. Beyond that, it's okay to get excited about a prospect putting up points. Nothing wrong with that, and no one is exaggerating as much as you just did.

I don't think anyone is wetting their pants over the early season performances of the prospects.
The point of the thread, if I remember correctly when Reggie started it a couple of years ago, was to have all the prospect info in one place and for people to highlight good performances (such as 2g, 2a for Wahl last night).

Yeah Tilley...
If you wish to debate a player's particular merits, create a new thread. This is meant as a thread for quick updates without having to scroll through a bunch of arguments (although the odd bit of banter is okay).

i wasn't noting anyone specifically. i think there are several posts in the first page that specifically not how well a guy is going after 3-5 games... if it sounded like i was going after ronald specifically my apologies. another example would be the post right above his noting that nemisz is top 20 in scoring. well thats great and all, but i was implying that it doesn't matter since its so early.
apparently i misunderstood the meaning of the thread. i didn't realize that it would be updated every time a prospect picked his nose!

Yeah, It's too early to get excited. IIRC JD Watt, that's JD Watt was leading the WHL in goals early in the 06/07 season.

While it very earlier, you really cannot compare the two players. Wahl is known for his offense and was drafted for his offense.....Watt was not. Still great to see Wahl taking the next step after winning last year. Could be one of those guys (hopefully) that develops fast.

Hey Reggie can you use this link for Backlund's stats? It actually links up with the year by year stats as opposed to the career ones.
Thanks

sounds like he got a match penalty for a slew foot that led to the suspension; this was in a game that sounds like it may have got out of hand. a 7-2 loss was the first of the season for Windsor, and the Spitfires had 11 of the first 12 minors in the game

Our first and second round draft picks both suspended at the beginning of the season. Nice...
