Prospect Impressions : Eichel 's Beauty

Since Crosby has entered the NHL in the 2005-06 Season, he has managed to score 266

Have you ever wondered what the oilers were like in their first season? And what's in the future for Connor McDavid?

"Orr radically altered the style of hockey by introducing defensemen to the offensive side of the game. A defenseman who scored goals, rushed the puck up ice, set up teammates with pinpoint passes. What a revolutionary concept." (Schwartz). This is true, like no other, Orr changed the nature of hockey. A new style of play, an offensive minded defenseman. He could go coast to coast in the rink and score, maneuvering through the whole other team. This was not the only way Orr impacted on the game, scoring one of the best goals of all time to win the Stanley Cup. Orr literally went flying as he scored the game winning goal for the Bruins, a goal to be remembered forever. A statue made of him soaring in the air outside of TD Garden, never to be forgotten. All in all, Bobby or is one of the most influential players ever in the NHL, as seen through his career statistics, his personality, and his impact to the

Max Lajoie has been extremely active offensively tonight. He’s adjusting to the AHL and professional hockey. Lajoie had a nice rush into the Moose zone setting up Tyler Randell who couldn’t finish Lajoie pass off in the

It's June 25th, 2010, an 11 year old just finished elementary school and is excited to watch his first ever draft and he doesn't even have to stay up past his bedtime as Edmonton picks first. He's been hearing a lot of buzz from sports media about the draft, especially "Taylor vs Tyler" and he knows who he wants the Edmonton Oilers to pick. Taylor Hall plays in Windsor with the Spitfire, whom won the memorial cup just a month prior and just like the kid, he is an Alberta boy. The kid dreams about centering a line with Hall and Jordan Eberle, shattering all of Wayne Gretzky's records. Daydreaming, the kid notices that the Edmonton's GM, Steve Tambellini, is already on the podium ready to make the pick.

Save for a brief glimpse, the Islanders youngster has been a shell of himself during his second pro season. Already sent to Bridgeport after a couple of discussions during training camp, he has not responded to being called out by Capuano a couple of weeks prior to the end of the regular season.

Out of this list, I am intrigued by defenseman Mark Barberio, a Montreal-native. He is a quick skater for his big frame and has excellent vision offensively. He has been able to put up a lot of points in his junior career with the Moncton Wildcats (168 points in 261 games) and in the AHL with the Syracuse Crunch (134 points in 215 games). He hasn't been able to bring that production to the NHL level, but at 25 years old, he remains an interesting depth

In this week’s Prospect Faceoff, we take a look at Quebec Remparts goaltender Callum Booth, who has been the team’s saving grace during a rough stretch. He will be opposed by a former first-overall pick, Daniel Audette, who has a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. Also in this week’s edition, one underrated forward on North Dakota is garnering attention, as are a pair of draft-eligible skaters who are in weekend competition.

Standing at 6'8 280lb John Scott is one of the biggest players in the NHL, and while he may seem useless due to stats, I am here to prove you wrong. He may only have five goals and 10 points but he would still be an asset to have, for example, he is still a young player; only 32 years old. Scott still has a lot of time to improve his game and personally I can see him playing 2nd line minutes and maybe even first in Edmonton and I want to talk about his upsides.

Marner has three assists, all of them coming with the man advantage, and was named as the games second star. Tkachuk has a career-high five point game, and Dvorak added one goal and two assists of his own. Mississauga was paced by defenseman Stephen Gibson, who scored his first two goals of the season. The Steelheads scratched Sean Day, who is believed to be fighting the flu.

It's hard to criticize the Flyers' system. Talented all-around centers? Check. Dynamic big defensemen? Check. Ridiculous goaltender depth? Check – Corey Pronman. ESPN.

On-ice performance: achieved playoff contention every year since 2003; Ranked third of thirty teams in NHL

The 23-year-old has three goals and one assist in five games this season for Belleville. He ranks first in goals scored while third in team scoring through Belleville’s first seven games.

I think that part of the reason that Fleury is league’s best goalie is because he was on the Pittsburgh Penguins for almost 14 years (my favorite team is the Pittsburgh

New additions Anthony Duclair and Maxim Letunov boosted an already deep system after a pair of trade deadline moves, and Dylan Strome vaulted straight to the top of the Coyotes rankings as the third overall pick in June’s NHL Entry Draft. The system has a number of interesting stories from established pro prospects, junior-level talents, and a few amateur and European skaters looking to earn their
