Welcome to the third edition of the Bruins Midweek Prospect report! Sorry for missing last week. That said, there's been a lot happening in the world of the P-Bruins; while some of our OHL boys have quieted down, and our two KHL prospects have both made headlines in Russia recently. (You forgot we had KHL prospects, didn't you.)
After the jump, the P-Bruins have started to turn their season around, have made a new acquisition (as of today!), the injuries are flying fast and furious, and a few of our college prospects have some interesting stats....
P-Bruins Report
The Baby B's are finally starting to turn things around, with a 5-5-1-0 record that is good for second best in the Atlantic Division. According to the Providence Journal, Maxime Sauve and Jamie Tardiff were (finally) cleared to play before practice yesterday, which should provide an injection of much-needed offense into the lineup.

Poor kid. One of Reading's games was, in fact, delayed due to weather.

I know +/- isn’t much of a stat, but I’m pretty impressed by that number next to Knight this early in his season.
Anywhere carry advanced stats on OHL games? Or is that just too obsessive?
Don’t forget how stacked that team is though. I’m actually pretty concerned about Knight’s performance. On a team that is scoring almost 5 goals a game, he’s not getting a point a game and is 7th on his team. That’s a pretty bad sign for a prospect.
can’t say I know a lot of those names, save for a couple other teams’ prospects. Any idea where Knight sits in their depth chart and what roles he’s playing? IE: much time in the way of special teams? Is he looked to for two-way play as I infer or just not up to offensive projection?
He’s at point-per-game per the Knights’ site, fwiw
Well, he’s always been a power play and penalty kill guy, so Knight does have the two way game. But he’s not being used in a shut down role. They use Ferry for that. Knight is playing alongside Domi and Anderson on essentially the second line – more of an offensive role. Maybe I came across too pessimistic, but when he was drafted, I thought Knight might be a 2-way threat. With his age and only get a point a game with a talented linemate, it’s looking more like he may be a checking forward more than anything else. It’s early and points aren’t that great of a predictor, so we’ll see what happens the rest of the way..
For some names … Domi and Horvat are both guys that should be pretty highly drafted. Namestrikinov was a 1st rounder last year. Griffith was drafted by the Lightning I think as well.
It’s a small sample size and points are only so predictive … but a point a game in the O isn’t really that great. It’ll place you about 40th in the league. As a 20 year old, that’s nice, and it’s still possible for him to make the NHL, but to live up to the initial hope that he could be a top 6 forward will require some more productivity there.
how about dougie's brother?
he’s off to a pretty hot start too. i had no idea his brother Freddie plays for the same team….he has 25 points in 15 gp…..surprised he went in the 5th round
Anybody got some good Dougie Hamilton highlights?

soderberg?
Is he still a prospect? Only guy on his team in the SEL that’s at a point a game (2nd is at .68). Second on his team in +/- after 8 games (rest of the team has played twice as much – not sure why).
If the team still has his rights, he should be counted I think.
