Nate Danielson WHL - 8 games 2-5-7 - kind of slow. Weird, considering there are 3 guys at a point per game or higher.
Axel Sandin Pellika SWE - 13 games 6-1-7 - Really odd numbers for a defenseman. 6 goals but only one assist?
Trey Augustine NCAA - 6 games 4-1 3.56 .897 at MSU. Decent start.
Andrew Gibson OHL - 12 games 2-9-11, he's showing the kind of increase expected in a D+1 year.
Brady Cleveland NCAA - 4 games 0-0-0 2 PIM. Only suited up for 4 of 7. Not sure if there's an injury there.
Noah Dower Nilsson SWE- NO GAMES
Larry Keenan BCHL - 12 games 1-3-4 - Probably want more from him in this league.
Jack Phelan USHL - 10 games 0-0-0. Who knows? Don't hold your breath.
Kevin Bicker DHL - 12 games -0-0-0 - Kid is playing in the German league. No production yet.
Kevin Guimond USHL - 7 games 3-3-1 2.96 .903. Seems like a good start. Isn't this kid Harvard or Yale bound or something?
Emmit Finnie WHL - 11 games 2-6-8 = Pretty good start for a kid on a terrible team.

Marco Kasper, AHL - 4 games 1-0-1 +1 4 PIM. Slow stat. Not sure what the deal is with Kasper, but he's not looked anywhere near the player described in scouting eports.
Dylan James, NCAA - 4 games 0-1-1. Never liked this pick. But this is a bad start.
Dmitri Buchelnikov, KHL - 8 games 1-1-2 4 PIM -2
Anton Johansson, SWE - 13 games 1-2-3 4 PIM +2
Amadeus Lombardi, AHL - 4 games 0-1-1 -1, slow start, but not unexpected.
Max Kilpnen, SWEJR - 16 games, 10-6-16, SWE 1 game 0-0-0 - nice junior numbers
Tnias Malthurin, OHL - 11 games 1-2-3, 6 PIM +3 - never saw anything here
Owen Melenbache, NCAA- 3 games 0-0-0 6 PIM -3 of 7 games.
Brennan Ali, NCAA - 6 games 0-2-2 - Decent start for Ali. Liked this kids scouting report. Liked him every time I saw him.

Simon Edvinsson, AHL - 5 games 2-1-3 12PIM -2 - Good start
Sebastian Cossa, AHL - 3 games 1-1-1 2.38 .931
Shai Buium, NCAA - 5 games, 1-1-2 +0 - Seems to have been surpassed by lots of D on his team. Contract decision might be needed at the end of this season.
Carter Mazur, AHL - INJURED
Red Savage, NCAA - 8 games 4-7-11 6PIM +6, Leads MSU in scoring. Good transfer for Savage and the Wings. Nearly as many points as he had in 32 games last year. Red Wings need a contract decision on him at the end of this season or he could walk.
Liam Dower-Nilsson, SWE-1 - 12 games 8-6-14 2PIM +4. 2nd on his team with 14 points. Breakout season.
Oscar Plandowski, QMJHL - 14 names 1-9-10 - Offense finally coming through a bit, but pretty sure his rights explired.
Pasquale Zito, ??? - No games played. Seems to be in the OHL. Rights expired, I think.

Kasper - 11 games 1-2-3 4 PIM -1 AHL
James - 10 games 0-3-3 +3 = WTF? NCAA
Buchelnikov - 15 games 2-4-6 -4 11PIM KHL
Johansson - 16 games 1-3-4 +4 SWE
Lombardi - 11 games 1-3-4 +0 AHL
Kilpinen - 20 games 12-10-22 - SWEJR
Mathurin - 18 games 1-3-4 12 PIM +4 OHL
Mehlenbacher - 5 games 0-0-0 6 PIM NCAA
Ali - 11 games 2-4-6 +3 MCAA
-
On draft day I said I wouldn't be surprised if Ali turns out better than James.
So far, Ali is outproducing James at the NCAA level. Ali is is like 5 months younger. James is listed at 6'0 181. Ali at 6'0 200.

James' production is kind of astounding. He might need to transfer to salvage his career. If the Wings still see something, maybe they should turn him pro.

Buium on a 6-game points streak and points in 7 of his last 8 games is quite a turn around. One more year in NCAA before he has to turn pro, and after that will we have room for him in AHL, much less the Wings?

His draft eliglible little brother (younger and much smaller) leads Denver defensemen in scoring.
I don't think any of the scouting services had Zeev as a possible first rounder but his stock must be rising

Danielson - 20 games 8-9-17 10 PIM +0 | 6 games 5-1-6 4 PIM -1. Danielson finally gets the goal scoring going.
Pellika - 20 games 8-4-12 11 PIM -4 | 4 games 2-3-5, 4 PIM -3. Great segment for Pellika, even with the -3.
Augustine - 9-3-2, 3.17 .911 | 2-1-1 - slightly lowering his GAA and raising his SV%
Gibson - 24 games 3-14-17 14 PIM +10 | 4 games 0-3-3 6 PIM +1. Continues to show D1 improvement
Dower Nilsson - Dam - looks he still hasn't played. Must have used last year's stats.
Keenan - 20 games 1-7-8 8 PIM, +0 | 3 games. 2 points. Looks like he has fewer goals???
Phelan - 20 1-4-5 21 PIM +1 - 4 games 1-0-1 2 PIM -1. Scores his first goal of the season.
Bicker - 19 games 1-0-1 6 PIM +0 | 3 games 0-0-0 0 0 - at least he's playing Men's pro.
Guimond - 5-5-3 3.28 .890 | 0-1-1 SV% falls, GAA rising. Continues to slide a bit.
Finnie - 18 games 5-13-18 6 PIM -9 | 4 games 2-4-6 -2. Great segment for a kid already having a really nice D1 season
