“Kinda” because the CHL, USHL, and European kids have already begun (and even then, in different intervals), the AHL kids will get underway this week, and the college prospects have a few more weeks to go. So just kinda.

In case you missed it:

Joly has been putting in work as the Drakkar’s #1 RW and starting to turn heads among QMJHL scouts, at least those that post on Twitter. Four points in three games for the productive winger.

Everyone’s favourite Russian pro tweener prospect finally hit the scoresheet this week, picking up a goal and an assist for the Red Army’s farm team.

Linus has made the most of his recent promotion to Skelleftea’s second line (one of Sweden’s most comprehensive stat resources notes that he has occasionally been listed on the first line – make of that what you will), scoring his first goal of the season. He currently sits third for average ice time among Skelleftea forwards.

It’s two games into his season, but Martin Pospisil has been absolute dynamite thus far for Sioux City. The team has only scored eight goals thus far, and Pospisil has seen his name attached to five of them. He’s an overager in a league where overagers are generally in college, but it’s still an eye-popping performance from a work-in-progress type player.
(Turn your volume down for these highlights.)
Perhaps the most impressive stat is that he’s only picked up two penalty minutes thus far.

Back from injury. Still hasn’t put up any points.

The Vancouver centre finally found the scoresheet with two assists in his fourth game after a very slow start to the season. He hasn’t been on the ice for much at all.

Two more games, two more goals for Ruzicka. He’s struggled with consistency so hopefully this is a step in the right direction.

Another goal for Sveningsson, who continues to make noise in the Allsvenskan despite averaging fewer than 10 minutes of ice time per game.
