We're keeping an eye on the feeder leagues for you... here's an update on some of the key prospects, has-beens and other notables playing in the AHL, Canadian Junior, NCAA and Europe.
Highlights include:
- Hot months in the AHL from Max Pacioretty & Jake Allen while a guy we had hopes for, Sens prospect Patrick Wiercioch, is really struggling.
- We've had our eye on Avs prospect Joey Hishon for a few years and we're expecting a good show from him at the WJCs.
- Jaden Schwartz is the leading scoring freshman in the NCAA and could also shine at the WJCs for Canada.
- Over in Europe, 2011 draft eligible Joel Armia, is handling himself well in the SM-Liiga and Swedish dmen David Rundblad (Ott) and Mattias Ekholm (Nsh) are producing in the SEL.
