[Elite Prospects] Aucun joueur de hockey de la OHL n’a été plus sexy que la star des @OHLRangers et espoir des #Blackhawks Jack Pridham depuis début décembre
From the goals I’ve watched – Vanacker has been more of your meat and potatoes kinda player up front. Pridham has been your sniper, and he’s got a cannon of a shot like Lardis has.
Difference I’ve seen is Pridham moves a bit more laterally and shoots where Lardis finds a spot and off he goes. Eager for him to finally sign with the Hawks, EDIT: even though it looks like he’s playing for BU next year.

I don’t see much of a role for him here, so maybe use him as a sweetener in helping to acquire a player like Tuch or Robertson?

D+2 player playing with another D+2 player gets points against 16 and 17 year olds, news at 11.
These are the kinds of stories that make casual followers think prospects are better than they actually are. Is the 7th round pick he is playing with who has 1 less point than him suddenly a premier prospect too? No. These guys are getting points because they are more physically mature than almost everyone around them.
Could Pridham turn into an NHLer? Sure, he has as good a shot as any late third rounder, ie about 5-10%.
