Sorry for getting this out a little later than normal! My original post was lost and I had to redo this from scratch. My next update won't be for two weeks on Nov 9th to give a little more time between updates so we have more than 0-2 games played to actually look at.

Overall, this week had a number of disappointing weeks with, for example, Nathan Quinn recording only 1 point in 3 games (and 1 in 5 games now) after starting the season with 2ppg through 7 games (now 1.25ppg through 12). Luchanko and Nesbitt also combined for 2 points through 3 games. That said, the Phantoms had a fairly depleted roster with many of their best players called up by the Flyers due to the rash of injuries for them.

However, there were some bright spots: Max Westergård continued his hot start with a goal and 2 assists through 3 games in the SHL, Brek Liske had 3 assists through 3 games, and both Zavragin (95.2%, allowing 1 goal on 21 shots) and Kolosov (16 save shutout) had strong games this past week.

It is worth noting also that Jack Berglund is tied for 6th in the SHL for points and Max Westergård tied for 20th, which for Westergård is particularly impressive given he's only a D+2 5th round pick. For Zavragin, among goalies with more than 5 games played, he is now 4th in the KHL in sv% (up from 7th last week) and 2nd in GAA (same as last week). Overall, those 3 have been the most standout stat lines amongst our prospects so far.

FAQ
Q: You said this list of games are through Sunday (or whichever day), but I see games from that day missing!
A: Because these players are spread across many different leagues, I pull their game data from EliteProspects rather than tracking each league individually. At times, EliteProspects can be slow to update statistics for games played in the last day or so, which can result in some games appearing to be missing. Any delayed statistics will simply be included in the following week’s report.

Q: Are the players in any particular order?
A: The players are listed in a rough order based on a very loose combination of overall expectations and proximity to NHL readiness. I'll also sometimes clump similar positioned players together, even if I don't necessarily rank one of them quite that high, as it can be interesting to more easily compare all somewhat similar ranked centers, for example. I wouldn’t read too much into the ordering; the “rankings” are set at the start of the season (or when a prospect is acquired mid-season), with only a midseason update after the WJC planned.

Q: What is ΔPPG? How can a player have a negative number there?
A: ΔPPG (delta PPG) represents the change in a player’s season-long points-per-game rate compared to the previous update. A negative value simply means the player’s scoring pace declined over the most recent games. Because PPG is calculated over the entire season, the impact of a low-scoring week depends on how many games the player has already played. Early in the season the swings are larger, and later in the season they tend to be minimal.

Their moves are sweet… like candy! But they have a hard exterior, like a candy-coated shell.

“He scores! They melt in your mouth but not in your hand!”

Martone is gonna feed michkov who performs the Michigan for a goal. That was a real “trick AND treat - just in time for Halloween”

Call the dentist.. M&M is taking over! These two are giving the opponents stomach aches

Martone from michkov! What a sweet finish!

M&M combine for another tally, and this goaltender has a sweet tooth

That assist from Michkov - a sick candy “dish” from one half of the M&M boys

Throw away the wrapper - this one’s over!

Can’t wait for these!

a part of me wants to leave it alone, another part of me wants to send it in and make it either Timmo, Pronger or Coburn, what makes sense here?

I've come to really enjoy Rasmus on the team which is something I didn't think I'd say when we first got him, but I think it's pretty evident the Flyers wasted an opportunity to get a legitimate return.

For the last 2.5 seasons all we've heard about is the strong interest teams have had in him. We've seen comparable players be dealt for really solid returns.

We decided to hold him similar to how we held Laughton & I'm guessing they hoped/thought it would play out similarly, but the big issue is Risto can't stay healthy & they should've known that.

Now a pending FA who's seemingly hurt every 3 weeks won't get anywhere near the return we could've got 2 years ago, last year, or this past draft/FA

Yah, I think this kids good, eh? Should've got him signed long-term before the season man. Gonna cost a bag as it should.

These two are going to change my life aren't they? Haha. No seriously, my wife and I are having a hard year but right as things start to look up for us, these two kids start going ham on the ice. Coincidence? I think not.

Maybe these fellas should play more? Crazy thought I know.

DO WE HAVE A POWERPLAY?!?!

Not been Wolls best start, but what a save(s) to keep it tied at 3.

Boys better wake up in the 3rd. Horrific period.

If there's ONE use of Benoit on this team right now it should be teaching Hunter how to fight haha.

Absolutely loving Hunters play.

Fuck the Ducks

I've recently became a flyers fan and my mom gifted me some of her old jerseys. This one is a Recchi but that is jot his signature. Any guesses as to who it could be?
We vaguely remember a retired player coming to my elementary school (would have been sometime in the early 2000s) and she had him sign it.
