January Prospects Update: Forwards

Yesterday we provided you with a mid-season look at how some of the Capitals' goaltending and defense prospect were faring; today we give you an update on their forwards. The pedigree here isn't quite as high - you won't find a forward who can match the pedigree or buzz surrounding Karl Alzner, John Carlson, or Michal Neuvirth - but the list is long. If you can't have blue-chip quality, you want quantity, and the Capitals have that in spades.
With that in mind, let's take a look at what the organization's got:
Jay Beagle (Center/Right Wing) - Beagle saw some time with the big club in Washington in November, and was able to notch his first NHL point and first NHL goal. The Hershey numbers might be a little less than what you'd expect, but remember that Beagle's generally playing a check role with the Bears, who have more than enough AHL-level scoring talent.
Francois Bouchard (Left Wing/Right Wing) - Though he's far from a dominant player at the AHL level, Bouchard is bettering his 2008-09 statistics in goals per game, assists per game, points per game, and shots per game. The NHL's probably not in the cards this season, but if Bouchard keeps improving he could see time in a Caps sweater next year.
Chris Bourque (Left Wing/Right Wing) - A Pittsburgh Penguins waiver claim gave Bourque the extended NHL chance he was looking for. Unfortunately for him (and fortunately for the Capitals . . . or at least the Bears), Bourque didn't do all that much with it and found himself back on waivers in December. The Caps of course claimed Bourque and sent him to Hershey, where he has dominated. Unimpressive NHL showing notwithstanding, at some point Bourque's likely to get another NHL chance, although it's unclear whether or not it will be in Washington.
Trevor Bruess (Left Wing) - Bruess started the season with Hershey, and is now practicing his trade in South Carolina. By all accounts he's been solid as a role player in at the minor league level, but the NHL doesn't look to be in the cards for now.
Joel Broda (Center) -The numbers are down a bit as compared to last season, but then last season Broda finished up on a Calgary team that went 59-9-4. Despite that, Broda's still producing at better than a point per game and leading the Hitmen in scoring.
Greg Burke (Left Wing) - Nothing much to see here, as Burke's freshman season at the University of New Hampshire has been somewhat underwhelming. The freshman's played in 17 of the the Wildcats 21 games, but has just one goal and seven points thus far.
Stefan Della Rovere (Left Wing) - Another World Juniors appearance, continued production in the Ontario Hockey League, and rave reviews for the way he's managed to stay in control while maintaining an edge to his game are all positive signs. You never want to count your chicks before they hatch, but it's started to look like the Caps may have made one hell of a late round pick with this one.
Phil DeSimone (Center) - A solid offensive player in the USHL whose skills hadn't translate at the collegiate level, DeSimone's come around this season, and has notched five goals and ten assists in the fourteen games he's played for the University of New Hampshire since we last checked in with him in November.
Cody Eakin (Center) - Already inked to a professional deal that kicks in next fall, and kind enough to stop and chat with our own Stephen Pepper, Eakin's leading the Swift Current Broncos in goals and points, contributing on the powerplay and a man down, and mixing it up a little earlier this season. Barring injury or a surprisingly long Broncos playoff run, Eakin should get some time in Hershey to close out the season, and could be there for good next fall.
Joe Finley (Left Wing/Defense) - He's been holding his own in South Carolina, something that's reflected in his statistics, but we'd really liked to have seen Finley play his way on to the Bears.
Andrew Gordon (Right Wing) - A great season at Hershey earned Gordon a call up with the big club, albeit a brief one. You might expect to see more of a guy who has scored 19 goals to go along with 23 assists through 42 AHL games, but with Gordon it's really a matter of role. Despite his gaudy AHL numbers, Gordon doesn't have the skill to play a top six role in the NHL, and there are awful lot of guys in the Caps organization fighting it out for those depth forward spots.
Anton Gustafsson (Center) - He's playing, he's producing, and he has generally been able to stay healthy this year, all of which are good signs. It's also worth noting that Gustafsson's faceoff percentage is now up to 51%. Washington still seems a long way off, but the Capitals are going to make it a priority to get Gustafsson to North America for the 2010-11 season.
Jake Hauswirth (Center/Right Wing) - Hauswirth is dutifully plugging away in South Carolina, not only adding physicality to the Stingrays, but doing a pretty good job of putting up points as well. With Hershey's roster as deep and talented as it is, it's unlikely Hauswirth sees much, if any time, in Chocolate Town, but he could find himself there next year.
Dmitri Kugryshev (Left Wing ) - After stumbling some early on in the season, Kugryshev has come on strong for the Remparts. He now leads the team in scoring, and is poised to break the top ten league-wide.
Marcus Johansson (Center/Left Wing) - He's not leading his team in scoring like he was at the time of our last prospect update, but Johansson's done pretty well for himself in Sweden's highest league, and in turn earned himself the captaincy of the country's World Juniors team.
Oskar Osala (Left Wing) - Osala's run a little hot and cold this season, and as a result his season totals are a little behind where you'd like them to be. Still, Osala's proven that he has some scoring touch, and you don't find 6'4'', 220 pound guys who can put the puck in the net every day.
Mathieu Perreault (Center) - What can you say about Perreault at this point? He demonstrated he has the talent to be productive at the NHL level, and right now it's just refining his skills and learning the game so that he's able to do it night in and night out.
Kyle Wilson (Center) - Several solid years in Hershey earned Wilson an look at the NHL level, that last all of two games, one of which was stellar, one of which was...not. Like Gordon, Wilson's probably not skilled enough to be a major offensive contributor at the NHL level but lacks a rare, underappreciated-yet-valuable skill like faceoff ability, pugilism, penalty kill prowess, or physicality that would make him an ideal depth option.

Would love to see MP back with the big boys. He’s quickly become one of my favorites.

Is it me, or by looking at this alone, does anyone else get the impression the “Flash at 2C” experiment will go long-term into next season, with the 3C spot Perreault’s to lose?

I completely agree with Flash, but it’s far too early to slot MP at 3C.

Did you see him play when he was up here?

He looked like an allstar for 3 games, then he stopped producing. I loved him, and more importantly, he fits in with our style of play. Be that as it may, there are still question marks. It was only a handful of games.
by Bushwood Bushwhacker on Jan 20, 2010 11:52 AM EST up reply actions
If he gets another shot up here and does well, someone gets hurt in the playoffs and he gets time, or he plays a bunch next year and earns the 3C slot, that’s a different story. I just meant there’s no way we can slot him in as our 3C concretely from the games he has played this year. He has work left to do.

There’s no way we CAN, but that can’t stop us from wanting to! This is the internet!
And I disagree, he looked like an all-star for a bunch of his games, the numbers just came all at once for some reason.

I think a lot depends on if we re-sign Bmo and, secondarily, what if anything we do at the deadline at C. If George decides that Morrison’s next K is too rich, I could see MP getting a real long look.

by bigonetimer on Jan 20, 2010 11:52 AM EST up reply actions
I don’t think BMo resigns, though I’m basing this on nothing. And if Flash is a permanent C, you get younger, cheaper and likely more years under contract than with BMo, and have Perreault at 3C next year, cheap and still under an affordable deal for another year.
Then you get all centers not named Gordon or Steckel to take intensive faceoff lessons from Gordon and Steckel.

Love M.P.’s play when he was up with the Caps, but kinda scared of him lining up against guys like Malkin/Crosby/Staal
Because now I can justify browsing and commenting during the work day with the argument that I am promoting my business.

I would certainly be fine with that. – Mini-Ovie – err, I mean MP can’t do any worse than “afraid to hit” BMo. Nothing against BMo but if we’re going to be salary top-heavy after resigning Backstrom then we’ll need cheaper fillers like MP. His short stint also made Fehr look like a legit NHLer. Imagine also giving him Chmera.
Yes, Chimera and Matty on the same line would be a SHOW.

To say the least.
He could score as many as 20 goals this year. Join the double starbuck club with Ovi, Semin, Backstrom, and most likely Flash, as well.

I’m not so sure the Flash at 2C experiment is a long-term thing. I mean, if he shows that he can’t hack it in the spring, they’ve got to go elsewhere in the summer, IMO. Then mybe the “Flash at 3C” experiment can continue, but a Cup hopeful with a huge question mark at 2C doesn’t sound good to me.

considering that the other options at 2W don’t look as hot at the moment, and CareBears need breaks every so often, i’d say it’s significantly contingent. They’ve had pretty good chemistry, so here’s hoping it lasts, and the wrist heals well and in good time.
Going into next season, there are still plenty of external (and internal, if we want to try Laich at C again) options. It wouldn’t necessarily be a huge question mark.
I think:
Flash has the skill and is consistent enough and belongs on our second line
He should be Sasha’s pivot
He is so smart with the puck, and makes for a perfect centerman
All of these individual factors makes me think we will see him at 2C for a while…
by Bushwood Bushwhacker on Jan 20, 2010 12:39 PM EST up reply actions
I am in mild agreement with point one, am not sold yet on point two, and while I can agree with the first part of point three, there’s a lot more that goes into being a center than smarts with the puck.
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
Regarding the skill element
Things Flash has: speed, stickhandling, seems like he has decent vision. Has improved his strength, but could stand to improve it more.
Things Flash doesn’t have: size, defensive chops.
He’ll never get the size, but Mike Peca wasn’t big, either. If he gets stronger and commits to learning and playing defensive hockey, he could be a good option at 2C.
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
Flash is 6’1" tall. How much more “size” do you think he needs to be an effective center?
He can continue strength training and building muscle… he did last summer, after all…
I need a snappy signature...
I don’t think he’s that tall, and it’s more a question of girth.

Which is priority then? Defenseman or 2C?

I’d think it’d be easier to get a 2C, assuming they felt it was a need. The asking price may not be as much, and getting a defenseman would likely require either overpaying and/or making another move to send a current roster player elsewhere, which might not find another willing partner.

Can we all admit that at this point, Johansson is a better NHL prospect than Gustafsson? Sad to say, with Baby Gus’s ties to the franchise, but his development seems off…
Think it might be safe to say. WJC captain, solid numbers in Elitserien vs WJC pass, ok Allsvenskan numbers.
My ability to post is only surpassed by my ability to pinch pennies.
Johansson was a better prospect from the moment he was drafted. Gustafsson was a massive reach in the first round, and his continued injuries only hampered him further. In hindsight, it was a dumb pick based on bloodlines. At least we got Carlson in the same draft.
Alex Semin likes to drink sake after engaging in hockey bukkake.
not to mention the fact we gave up a 2nd round pick to move up two spots to get him.

Who is disputing that? I thought it was obvious. Same country, but one guy is in the top league and one isn’t; one guy played WJC and one didn’t. Seems like a no brainer.

I wonder what's up with Osala
Granted, I haven’t seen as many Bears games this year as last (stupid full-time employment), but he doesn’t look like as much of a force this season. If I were asked to speculate, and I’m not, I would wonder if he’s not frustrated with going from rookie of the year in Finland to 3rd-4th liner in the AHL.
My ability to post is only surpassed by my ability to pinch pennies.
I think he tweaked a knee back in November-ish, so he may still be dealing with that.

Let’s talk Bouchard.
I haven’t seen him much in Hershey, but he doesn’t seem like a guy who’s going to get more than a sniff (if that) here. There just don’t project to be open top-six slots for him, and I can’t see a guy like him filling much of a role on a bottom line.
But I’d love to hear from those who see him more often than I do.
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
Outside of having the balls to pull the spinorama in the shootout, he’s been too quiet of a player for me to really notice much about him in the Bears games I’ve watched over the last two seasons. Maybe I’m just not looking for him, but he’s never stood out.
My ability to post is only surpassed by my ability to pinch pennies.
Someone's Missing
I don’t want to drag us back into the C-Bo debates, but the kid is still 23 (about to turn 24), so he qualifies as a prospect.
Right now, he’s got 11G, 12A, 23P, +11 in only 18 games. He’s averaging about 1.25 pts/game, which is third on the Bears behind Giroux and Aucoin.
For comparison to another undersized forward in Hershey, he’s already scored more than MP in eight fewer games.
Maybe Bourque didn’t excel during his time in the NHL, but he still has a decent chance of becoming a useful NHL player.
Alex Semin likes to drink sake after engaging in hockey bukkake.
Plus (by chance or not) the Bears have been basically unstoppable since he’s been back.. Not that they weren’t before he got there, I’m just saying. Of course maybe it’s just seeing him play so well and work so hard in Hershey these past couple years that just really makes me want to see him succeed at the next level
At 24, with a failed NHL stint under your belt, can you legitimately claim prospect status?
He’s going to really dedicate himself to strength, conditioning and working every shift if he’s going to crack an NHL roster at this point.
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
In his 23-24 season, Tomas Fleischmann put up a rather pedestrian 4/4/8 line in almost 30 games with the Caps, and scored at a rate comparable to Bourque in the AHL. Would you have taken his “prospect status” away?
Bourque almost cracked our ridiculously-deep forward roster out of camp. Then, for reasons more financial than performance, the team tried to slip him through waivers. The Pens claimed him, and he was thrust headlong into a new system on the fly after playing in different system his entire career. . . But after playing in only 20 games, and averaging under 10 mins/game, the guy’s no longer a prospect?
The original post cites guys like Beagle, A. Gordon and Finley as “prospects.” Bourque is a better prospect than all three of those guys, and he’s younger than both Beagle and Gordon.

This gets pretty subjective, so take it for what it’s worth.
But Bourque has nothing close to the wheels and stick skills that Flash has, and I presume had at the age of 23-24.

He has more grit and energy, though.

Wheels without the puck; most definitely.
Really? I’m not saying you’re wrong here, but I have come to the exact opposite conclusion that Flash is faster than Bourque period. This is just based on watching them play on TV, and not at the same time, of course.
So I could be wrong.
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
To be honest, the omission was simply the result of me going back and look at the prospects list from the November post and replicating it – Bourque’s addition slipped my mind.
I agree that he ought to be on the list, so I went ahead and added him in.

Last I’d heard Finley had been out for a good while and was expected to be out until March due to some vein thing in his hand. Which could be why he hasn’t made it back to the Bears.

I don’t think Broda is in our long term plans.
And I agree with J.P. that Bouchard probably isn’t either; that makes him prime trade bait at the deadline to a team that is thin with offensive prospects. They may take a chance on a guy with high upside (if he ever puts it together). Could he be this year’s Teddy Ruth?

He’s not a very good skater. The fact that they left him in the WHL for his overage year says a lot to me as far as how the team sees him. Normally they start trying to get guys into the system as quickly as they can; they even put Godfrey in the ECHL rather than letting him use his overage year in the OHL.
