Thrashers Prospect Update, Trick or Treat Version

Since the last time I posted on this topic, the NCAA has finally started up so we have some scoring numbers for those players. Jordan Samuels-Thomas is off to a nice start with three assists in his first four games of college hockey. College D men Zach Redmond and Will O'Neil are both quick out of the starting blocks as well. 

Down in the AHL, the Chicago Wolves started very poorly (some say they quit on Coach Don Granato) and a new coach was hired. They have responded with some offense. Spencer Machecek in particular is the leading the team in points at forward. Paul Postma is tied with Chris Chelios for the scoring lead among defensemen.

In the junior ranks O'Dell, Morin and Koper lead the way. While over in Europe, the two Finnish prospects Lucenius and Enlund are scoring quite a bit in a league that rates about the same as the AHL. Klingberg is playing in the very tough Swedish Elite League and posting solid numbers for a young guy. Zubarev appears to be getting more ice time and scoring more with Atlant of the KHL.

While I remain skeptical about Lucenius and at the time I thought he was a terrible pick, he has equaled his 2008-09 point total already. He’s definitely playing a lot better. I said once that he would have to improve a ton just to be a bad ECHL player, but it looks like he has exceeded that. Good for him. We could use having a few later round prospects pan out.
