NAME: CALVIN PETERSEN

POSITION: GOALTENDER

TEAM: WATERLOO

LEAGUE: USHL

VITALS: 6-2 / 180

 

NOTES: Petersen is a tall, slender goaltender who possesses good footwork, strong focus

through traffic and shows the ability to make desperation saves. He will have time to physically

mature and develop his form at the college level next season.

Future Considerations Profile:

 

ANTHONY FLORENTINO

POSITION: Defenseman

SHOOTS: Right

TEAM: South Kent (USHS)

BORN: January 30, 1995

VITALS: 6’-1” / 195 Lbs

STATS: 58 GP 20 G 30 A 50 PTS N/A PIM

 

 

SCOUTING REPORT: Florentino is a solid two-way defender what has some serious upside. He skates well but could improve his first step and short range lateral agility. He has a solid frame to him and uses it in all aspects of the game. A ‘grab the puck and clear the zone’ type,

 

Florentino doesn’t project to play with much offensive creativity at the next level; a simple meat and potatoes style. He has the ability to shoot a pass up the ice to his forwards but will not likely be one to carry it through the neutral zone himself very often. He has a bomb from the point but will need to work on getting it off quicker. He does his best work deep in his own zone. A hard working, all-in every shift player that plays the game with a high level of energy. He is a physical player who sometimes looks like he hits opponents to hurt them. He uses his size well to separate the puck from the puck carrier and quickly turn the play back the other way.

 

Florentino shows a very good compete level and solid work ethic. A team leader both on the ice and off it.

His game -- no matter the potential he shows -- is extremely raw and will need ample time to develop. The Providence College commit will get plenty of time to round out his game. He has the potential to wear a letter at the next level.

 

NHL POTENTIAL: Top 6 Two-Way Defenseman

Future Considerations Profile:

 

SEAN MALONE

POSITION: Centre

SHOOTS: Left

TEAM: Under-18 (US NTDP)

BORN: April 30, 1995

VITALS: 6’-0” / 185 Lbs

STATS: 54 GP 16 G 16 A 32 PTS 19 PIM

 

SCOUTING REPORT: Malone is a responsible two-way forward with decent feet but will not blow by many defenders with his just average speed. He has decent mobility but lacks jump in his first couple of steps. He compensates by keeping his feet moving. He plays a very strong two-way game, is strong on the cycle and poised with the puck despite not having high-end dangles. He’s not overly physical but does use his body to protect the puck and earn space.

 

His value offensively is seen in his ability to read the ice and distribute the puck, although many of the plays he makes are of the small space touch passes to open teammates variety. Malone isn’t a high end playmaker - the type to draw defenders in, slow the play down, etc. - but his ability is respectable. In terms of goal scoring, he’ll go to the crease area looking for pay dirt. He has a decent wrist shot that has a quick release and can put the puck away. He’s solid defensively as he consistently backchecks as well as applying consistent pressure to the offensive attack with back pressure. A pretty safe player- he’ll make the NHL because he is so responsible and dependable albeit it likely in a bottom-six/checking capacity.

 

NHL POTENTIAL: Bottom 6 Two-Way Forward

BUF selects Malone. NY kid. Good offensive guy. Not dynamic, but there's skill to his game. Little small. Guy to revisit in a year or 2.

 

@coreypronman

BUF selects Possler. Liked him as a U18 last year, faded off the radar with no WJC play. Avg size has above-average offensive upside.

#Sabres Eric Locke from Saginaw of OHL. #Buffalo

There's a whole lot of Hockey East in this draft class. Two Notre Dame, 1 PC... and then the non-Hockey East Harvard. I will have plenty of opportunities to see all four of them in the upcoming years. That always makes those games a bit more interesting.

Is this a way to get some of the prospects to be familiar with each other as they grow in the system (before they're in the system?)

Much of what I see. Get guys familiar with each other. Even partners for Grigorenko and Armia. Build a new core.
