Hi all, since the big club has been ass I wanted to post my top 25 prospects and think about hopefully a brighter future. I have spent the last few years watching a ton of our drafted prospects play and develop and wanted to compare my thoughts to yours. Let me know where you agree and disagree with my rankings or specific players what you think I am way too high on or vice versa. Open to all criticism I just want to get some solid prospect dialogue going.

Disclaimer: i do not rank or watch goalies because i don’t understand the position and don’t believe I ever will.

I didn't know why there hasn't been more buzz around this but it's super exciting!

Rudy Guimond (19yr old), the Detroit Red Wings’ 6th-round gem from the 2023 NHL Draft (169th overall), is rewriting the CHL history books with the Moncton Wildcats in the QMJHL.

Back in 1990-91, Daniel Berthiaume set a CHL record with a 13-0-0 start to his career with the Chicoutimi Saguenéens.

This season, Guimond didn’t just tie it—he shattered it. After joining Moncton from the USHL’s Cedar Rapids RoughRiders in November 2024, he went a perfect 16-0-0 in the regular season.

Tonight, in his first-ever QMJHL playoff game, he rocked a 33-save shutout against the Quebec Remparts, leading Moncton to a 4-0 win in Game 2 of their series. That’s 17-0-0 with a stellar 1.65 GAA and .944 SV%.
