pi2000 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Unfortunately some of our OHL prospects have been cooling off lately. Baptiste with 2 goals and 1 assist in the 7 games he's played with Erie. I watched last nights game against the Gens and he looked ok but was unable to get on the score sheet. I imagine he will start ripping it up once McDavid gets back as he's projected to be on a line with him. Bailey has 1 goal and is a -10 over his last seven games. Small sample sizes and I'm sure they will bounce back as they are good players with Bailey having an excellent year before this rough patch. They're just kids. Inconsistency is to be expected.

LGR4GM Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Weekly Prospect Report "Sam Reinhart (2014, first round) amassed two goals and two assists last week to extend his point streak to 14 games since his return from Buffalo. The ICE captain cashed the game-winning goal on the power play in Friday’s 2-1 win over Spokane. Reinhart wasted no time producing in Saturday’s rematch with the Chiefs, picking up a goal and an assist on his first two shifts as the ICE held on for a 3-2 victory. Reinhart closed the three-game weekend on Sunday with a shorthanded helper in a 5-4 loss at Tri City, leaving him with eight goals and 27 points in his first month of WHL duty while guiding the surging ICE to an 11-3 record."

Derrico Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Reinhart has been great in his return. It was expected but nice to see him going down there and ripping it up. There is talk he will be Team Canada's captain and I can't wait to see how he looks in this prestigious tourney.

I have kind of bashed Reinhart a little but those numbers are hard to ignore. Good for him. Like the fact he went back to juniors and tore it up. Some kids would have went back and sulked.

LGR4GM Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Last year in the WHL Reinhart had 36g, 69a for 105pts. This year he is on pace for 34g, 81a for 115pts in the same # of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson's Flow Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yea basically. I just find it amazing how reactive this fan base is based on recency bias and small samples for our prospects. Grigorenko was a bust because of a struggles early on, Reinhart didn't score during his tryout, etc. Heck, there were times when Brayden McNabb was hailed as our next great dman because he threw some big hits in a few spot starts. It's important to keep in mind that most of these players are teenagers/early 20's. Players change and develop as they grow. The pedigree of player and multiple seasons of stats should be considered before passing quick judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
