Inside Hockey: Habs Have Three Top 20 Prospect


Recommended Posts

Can a Mod please change the title to top 20 college prospects, I typoed thanks!

From the main page:

After some serious collaboration with pro scouts, college coaches and other experts, insidehockey.com has released its list of the top recruits heading to the NCAA this season. Heading up the list of the Top 20 forwards was the Canadiens’ very own first-round selection from this June’s draft, Harvard freshman Louis Leblanc. The Kirkland native joins the Crimson following a stellar year with the USHL’s Omaha Lancers, notching 28 goals and adding 31 helpers. In addition to topping the site’s list of the NCAA’s best incoming forwards, Leblanc also cracked Inside College Hockey’s preseason All-Rookie team.

This is the seventh edition of the Inside College Hockey rankings and Leblanc finds himself in some pretty elite company at the top of those charts. Other top forwards from year’s past include Coyotes center Kyle Turris, Islanders winger Kyle Okposo, Leafs center Phil Kessel and Devils pivot Travis Zajac.

While Leblanc topped the list, a few other Habs prospects also found their way into the exclusive Top 20. Coming in at No. 6 is North Dakota Fighting Sioux forward Mike Cichy. Drafted 199th overall in Montreal this June, Cichy caught the eye of scouts everywhere by leading the Indiana Ice to the USHL championship last year. Leblanc’s former Lancers teammate – and Cichy’s current Fighting Sioux teammate – the Habs’ 2008 first-rounder Danny Kristo, rounds out the Montreal representation on the list at No. 8.

Now I'm always wary of rankings when it comes to the Habs, because its well-documented these services unfairly bump big market teams and rankings to gain popularity, however I 100% agress with the hooplah over Cichy.

I was a huge fan of his going into the 09 Draft, I thought he was 2nd round- early 3rd material nevermind where he actually went. Hes not a stud, but hes a damn fine player. He should have a great year as a core player for North Dakota.

Cichy had a great playoff for the Indiana Ice of the USHL.Wouldn't it be nice to have Kristo and Cichy play together for another year they should be pretty good and ready to join Hamilton.

dany kristo is he even with us anymore

Apparently yes

Future

Kristo remains a long-term prospect for the club. However, the Canadiens brass is very high on his talent and grit -- with the only thing holding him back a little being his size. Kristo's got the offensive makeup to flourish at the pro ranks, but like many players with his limited elite-level experience, he needs to refine his defensive game.
