By JD Lagrange – In this fourth edition of this new feature, let’s see how the team’s top prospects are progressing. You will notice a column to show how the players are trending based on the previous week. Remember that this is in no way some expert dissection and in-depth analysis, but rather an overview at one point in time about how those young prospects are producing at their respective level.

Note that Roy, Kidney and Owen Beck were invited to Team Canada’s selection camp for the upcoming World Junior Championships. Lane Hudson was also confirmed as an invite for Team USA while others will follow suite for other countries.
Goaltenders
And now, to the organization’s goaltending prospects…
| NAME | TEAM | LEAGUE | GP | GAA | Sv% | TREND |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jakub Dobes | Ohio State Univ. | NCAA | 18 | 2.33 | .915 | ⬇️ |
| Emmett Croteau | Waterloo Black Hawks | USHL | 11 | 2.66 | .904 | ➡️ |
| Cayden Primeau | Laval Rocket | AHL | 12 | 3.53 | .893 | ➡️ |

| Frederik Dichow | Frölunda HC | SHL | 6 | 3.35 | .878 | ⬇️ |
Emmett Croteau and Cayden Primeau did not play last week and Joe Vrbetic was called up from Trois-Rivières to Laval, where he had his first ever AHL start. It’s a start he’ll want to forget with a 4.48 goals against and a .750 saves percentage…
Hope you enjoy this feature. See you next week.
