Things are turning up roses for Washington fans on the prospect front these days. The attached article focuses on Team USA’s Cole Hutson becoming the first d-man to lead the world juniors in scoring while leading his team to gold in Ottawa. Another Washington prospect who had a fantastic world junior tournament is forward Ryan Leonard. The second attachment discusses Leonard and others in a post-WJC “stock watch.”
Included in the stock valuation mentioned above is a discussion Swedish d-man and Detroit prospect Axel Sandin Pellika, who has been on the international stage for several years and is thriving in Sweden’s highest pro league. After having had the privilege of watching him over the last few seasons, I believe a star is about to be born in the Motor City.
