Derlique Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 With many Euro leagues are set to begin in the coming days, I think it's a good time to get prospect chatter into this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Corey Pronman rated us the fifth best prospect system, fwiw. I like him generally because he seems to have the most sober view of prospects generally. However, I lost a lot of respect for him with the Cale Makar click bait post.

He did apologize profusely for the error, but yeah, his confidence was very annoying. I like him as well but couldn't justify Insider when they canned Custance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 There's almost no way that Pronman is at ESPN Insider this time next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBallofHate Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Quiet day on the NJD board so I'll post this article with a few tidbits about Popugaev (with bonus Matvichuk quotes!): http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/sports/popugaev-key-in-cougars-preseason-win-1.22369477?utm_content=bufferc2216&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Nikita Popugaev is tuning up his act for the NHL and on Friday afternoon in Red Deer the big Russian winger served up a reminder why he was so highly-coveted by the Prince George Cougars when they made the trade to acquire him last January. "Big Poppy was flying, that's the best I've seen him skate," said Cougars head coach Richard Matvichuk. "It was good to see that he has that confidence that he had at the end of the year. He's a player for us no doubt. With his skating and his physical presence, he was the best player on the ice." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
