Los Angeles Kings’ Prospect Prospers With the Ontario Reign

After a tough season in the NHL with the Kings the year prior, Jaret Anderson-Dolan started in the AHL, which was a perfect decision by the management. In his AHL season he has scored 24 goals with 47 total points in the season which is a massive comeback for him. There isnt a roster spot available for Anderson-Dolan at the moment but there is expected to be some player movement in the roster so he may get a chance to come back to the league.

Owen Power Bruins Signing

Owen power is a recently signed NHL player. He played for the University of Michigan and was drafted first overall in the 2021 entry draft. Hes a massive 6’ 6” defencemen that anyone would want on their team. He makes very little mistakes when it comes to puck handling and is even better at short-range passing. He is expected to be a big influence in the sabres ranks next season with his incredible shot.

Top picks for ‘22 draft

Some good players are going to be coming up this year for the NHL draft. Shane Wright, an 18 year old center. He is right now the top prospect people are looking at to be the #1 pick this year. He plays for the Kingston Frontenacs, which is based in Kingston, Ontario, in the Ontario Hockey League. Wright was granted exceptional status in the Canadian Hockey League allowing him to play at only 15 years old. In his first season he clocked in an astounding 39 goals and 27 assists in 58 games, which is an impressive feat for a 15 year old rookie. He hasnt been doing as well this season in terms of points per game, but he recently put 12 shots on net but came out with no points. So he obviously makes a lot of plays but maybe cant capitalize, but the NHL will make him a great player as it did with many individuals that were good but didnt reach their full potential until they played in the big leagues.

Top AHL players

There are some exciting prospects that are coming out of the American Hockey League (NHL Minor League) these coming years. Im going to talk about the top 3 of the 2021-2022 season. Some of the best players are still in college so the future of the NHL is going to be fun to see

At number 3 is Stefan Noesen, he was very recently moved from the Chicago Wolves to the New Jersey Devils in january, but still has the 3rd most points in the minor league. With 40 points he has 20 goals and 20 assists which is exactly what the league looks for in players. With 1.21 points a game he is also consistent with goals and assists so he deserves a spot in the league for sure.

Number 2 is T.J. Tynan. He scored only 8 goals this season, but has the leagues second highest total points with 46, he has an astounding 38 assists with 1.5 points per game. Hopefully we can see him play in the future

The best player in the AHL right now is Andrew Poturalski from the Chicago wolves. In the 2018-2019 season he won the the AHL Calder Cup, which is the top rookie of the year, and this year is playing in the AHL all star game. He has 51 points with 20 goals and 31 assists, im putting a clip after this of a pretty good play by him, hopefully he plays for the league in the future

Poturalski feeds it to one of the top prospects in the NHL right now, Trevor Zegras, (look up his michigan goals from this year) while he was falling over and Zegras scores.
