Kings Prospects Update (Toffoli, Andreoff, Schumacher, Weal, Moller, Holloway)

by Quisp on Jan 8, 2012 2:53 PM PST

Ottawa 67's right wing Tyler Toffoli, playing his last season of juniors, leads the OHL in goals, with 33, and is second in points with 66 (one behind the leader). He's ahead of last season's league-leading pace.
Only 3 of Toffoli's goals are on the power-play. He ranks 70th in PP goals. A sniper who excels at 5-on-5 scoring? Who needs that?
Oshawa Generals left wing Andy Andreoff leads his team in scoring with 38 points (15 goals, 23 assists). Andreoff turns pro next year.
Soo Greyhounds left wing Michael Schumacher leads his team in goals (20) and power-play goals (8).
Schumacher is 18 years old, 6'5" 205 pounds last we checked.
Regina Pats center Jordan Weal is second in the WHL in scoring (69 points), first in assists (44) and second in plus/minus (+29).
Oscar Moller and Bud Holloway are tied for the team lead in goals (11) for Skelleftea HC in the Swedish Elite League. That's 12th in the league, overall.
Maxim Kitsyn has one goal and one assist for Novotkuznetsk of the KHL, and needs to get the hell out of there. He was scoring nearly a point a game for Mississuaga last year. (Either this or next year is the last of his KHL contract, I can't remember.)
Marc-Andre Cliche leads the Monarchs with 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists). Dwight King is second, with 21 (7+14).
Linden Vey, in his first AHL season, has seen his point totals go up each month, and now has 10 goals and 9 assists. He is 21st in rookie points.
Thomas Hickey leads the team in plus/minus (+11) and is tied for second in assists (11).

I think Kitsyn is now playing in MHL with Kuznetskie Medvedi (he’s listed at their roster, not Novotkuznetsk’s)

looks like he has 7 GP = 4 G = 1 A = 5 PTS = minus 6

MHL is the "youth" league associated with the KHL

so he was “sent down” I assume

I’m still laughing at Canada… I said not taking Toffoli would haunt them, and it did… Sure, the main problem was the sieve in net (Visentin, Wedgewood), but goal-scoring wasn’t a problem last year either, until they needed one and they couldn’t buy one…

Marc Cliche needs to be in LA already, only problem is it’s kinda crowded at the bottom 6… Plus, he’s money in the shootout…

From what I’ve read on hfboards of people who actually saw the tryouts, Toffoli was an easy cut. Some said he looked lost and unable to keep up with the speed. Let’s hope he improves enough so he can score against good players and not just future never-gonna-make-the-AHL type players.
