Most of the amateur and overseas pro league seasons are over or in the playoffs. Here’s a look at the B’s system:
CHL
Jack Studnicka- 60 games, 36-47=83
Jakub Lauko- 44 games, 21-20=41
Cedric Pare- 68 games, 17-32=49
Daniel Bukac- 54 games 4-11=15
Kyle Keyser- .915, 2 shutouts
EUROPE
Axel Andersson- 41 games 0-5=5
Oskar Steen- 46 games 17-20=37
Victor Berglund- 50 games 4-9=13
Pavel Shen- 38 games 0-4=4
Note on Shen: That is a combined total from playing in 3 leagues with the KHL being the top league he has played in (20 games 1 asssist). He also apparently has 31 games played at the international level, 12 goals 7 assists. The kid has played for 6 teams this year.
NCAA/OTHER
Jack Becker- 36 games 6-9=15
Cameron Clarke- 34 games 0-8=8
Curtis Hall- 24 games 5-6=11
Jeremy Swayman- .919
Dustyn McFaul- 48 games 3-13=16 in the OJHL. He is going to Clarkson next year.
PROVIDENCE
Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson- 20 games 2-7=9
Trent Frederic- 44 games- 11-11=22
Zach Senyshyn- 59 games- 14-10=24
Ryan Fitzgerald- 53 games 8-25=33
Cameron Hughes- 52 games 13-15=28
Gemel Smith- 39 games 13-20=33
Peter Cehlarik- 44 games 12-20=32
Urho Vaakanainen- 28 games 4-10=14
Jakub Zboril- 4-12=16
Jeremy Lauzon- 24 games 1-5=6
McIntyre- .902
Vladar- .901
So that’s it.
Not much to get excited about in Providence outside of Vaakanainen, who has missed the past 2 weeks with injury. JFK has had a rough go of it since the Bruins sent him down. Missed a month with a concussion, then got hurt again in his first game back. 5 points in his last 9 games so hopefully he’s on track. Frederic has 4 points in his last 5 and is doing a lot of fighting. I don’t know if Gemel Smith even qualifies as a prospect, but his production is a surprise. We’ll see if it continues and he has unlocked something. Senyshyn has 3 goals in his last 30 games, which is disappointing. 26 goals in 125 career AHL games. Hard to see him as much more than bottom 6 fodder. I’m not sure what kind of usage he is getting, but between injuries and call-ups, I would think he’s gotten a bit more of an elevated role but he hasn’t been able to gain any traction. Defensively, hard to get a read on guys because of the AHL not publishing TOI. So who knows. Lauzon has only played 2 games since mid-January so he’s obviously dealing with an injury. Reports on Vaak are good, and there’s some production there. Haven’t heard too much about Zboril, but I think he’s clearly fallen behind Clifton and Vaak on the depth chart, and perhaps a healthy Lauzon.
Outside of the organization, Jack Studnicka is the cream of the crop. Him and Vaakanainen are 1-2 in some order if we were to do a prospects ranking. He’ll probably join Providence when his OHL season ends, but that could be a while as his Niagara team is pretty good. Currently 1-1 in their opening round against North Bay (game 3 tonight). Oskar Steen has worked his way into “maybe they have something here” status. His point production in the same league jumped from 6 points to 37 (and 10th overall in the league) with one extra game played. His team is in the playoffs. Divver was saying a while back that he heard Steen is in Sweden’s radar for the World’s, so I’m not sure if he’ll make it to Providence for the stretch run if/when his Europe season ends. I’d think the Bruins would want to get him here for next season if possible.
Not much to be overly excited about in the college ranks. Swayman’s their top collegiate player. I don’t see much room for Swayman until after next season. Vladar is under contract next year, and Keyser loses his junior eligibility so they have to find a place for him to play. McIntyre is a UFA but could re-sign to fulfill expansion draft requirements. So we are probably looking at a McIntyre/Vladar net again next year, or Vladar/Keyser.
Anywho, there’s the system and some cshea ramblings.
