Keeping up with the pups: 20-somethings these days

Just before the beginning of the season, we checked in with a handful of prospects poised to take a big leap this season. By extrapolating NHL player aging curves, we argued, players in their 19- and 20-year-old seasons were likely to take big leaps in their development. In that article, we looked at the five players most likely to make the NHL according to Emmanuel Perry’s prospect model — namely Mario Ferraro, Sasha Chmelevski, Ivan Chekhovich, Thomas Gregoire and Joachim Blichfeld.

Those aren’t the only 19- and 20-year-old skaters in the Sharks system.
