End-year prospect audit

[senryu]

Just looking for some impressions on where these second/third tier prospects stand. I haven't heard much about them this year so any thoughts of how they've developed or regressed this year are welcome. Multicat, 16 team.

Drake Batherson
Jake Bean
Janne Kuokkanen
Sleksi Saarela
Jake Walman
Kyle Wood
Jakub Zboril

Thank you

I'd actually like to know more about Batherson too, but I know he had a hat trick in the WJC and a good season in QMJHL. Pretty impressive showing, looking like the possible steal of the draft, excluding Tolvanen ofc

Janne Kuokkanen had a great rookie season in the AHL and got his cup of tea in the NHL. The Canes aren't exactly brimming with top-tier offensive talent, so I think he has a lot of opportunity going forward. Wouldn't be surprised if he makes the NHL out of camp next year

I think this year was a step back for Kyle Wood; the Coyotes have a lot of defensive prospects and I don't see Wood breaking through. Maybe with a different team

Don't know much about the others, sorry
