The Bakersfield Condors have employed Joey Laleggia at forward over the last while and he is doing very well. Will it get him to the NHL? Early days. Who else performed well for the Condors? That and more addressed after the break.

Enjoy your posts and your morning spot on tsn 1260.
Any insight on to the projection of Ziyat Paigin? I realize he’s a few years away…but like to see some comparables if available
If I may; visit lowetide.ca to view a recent prospect profile on Ziyat Paigin. Also there is some other stuff on there I suppose. Haha.
I hope you do!
He is a big man, saw him good at the WJs a year ago and remembered his name when EDM drafted him. The scouting reports talk about his wingspan and his shot, he looks like he has good speed but a lot of kids fail because of their footspeed. He is an older prospect for a new draft pick, so the Oilers might sign him in the spring. VERY intriguing prospect, always dangerous getting excited about late-round picks (believe me, I know).
That Ethan Bear kid sure is looking good right now. He’s leading the WHL among defencemen and is tied for 20th overall.
And he’s a right-handed shot!
I saw Bear play live recently and was impressed.
But I’m really intrigued with Ziyat Paigin. This guy is getting good minutes from a decent KHL club and is producing really well over 26 games. He’s a 6″6′ defender!
Is he on the Russia’s world junior roster??
He was an overage draftee. I believe he is 20 so I’m not sure if he would qualify for WJC.
No, he is 20.
Paigin has had 11 pts in 18 games since traded to Sochi where he can play higher in the lineup. I sure hope he has NHL foot speed, if he does then he could be a legit NHL prospect.
6’6″ and 210 lbs at 20 years of age, could see him at 225 lbs in a 3-4 years.
Answer to your question is no, he is 20 yrs old this year and doesn’t qualify
16 + 33 + 57 + 79 +184 = 0
Your right, that’s the amount of NHL games those guys have played.
and i always found it funny how players who haven’t played a second of NHL hockey have so much more potential that those who have played!
You would have traded McDavid with that premise.
Compared to this year’s WJC selection camp roster, based on points per game and Rob Vollman’s NHL equivalencies (0.37 for Hockey-East, 0.32 for OHL, 0.27 for WHL, 0.26 for QMJHL) only two players are clearly ahead of Bear (Lauzon and Sanheim), and only a few others (Dermott, Dunn, Hicketts, and McKeown) are even close.
Ethan Bear (WHL), 30 GP, 9-25-34, 1.13 PPG/0.31 NHLE
——-
Thomas Chabot (QMJHL), 22 GP, 7-13-20, 0.91 PPG/0.24 NHLE
Jakob Chychrun (OHL), 28 GP, 5-17-22, 0.76 PPG/0.24 NHLE
Travis Dermott (OHL), 29 GP, 2-25-27, 0.93 PPG/0.30 NHLE
Vince Dunn (OHL), 26 GP, 8-16-24, 0.92 PPG/0.29 NHLE
Haydn Fleury (WHL), 24 GP. 7-13-20, 0.83 PPG/0.22 NHLE
Joe Hicketts (WHL), 29 GP, 2-28-30, 1.03 PPG/0.28 NHLE
Brandon Hickey (Hockey-E), 16 GP, 5-2-7, 0.44 PPG/0.16 NHLE
Noah Juulsen (WHL), 24 GP, 3-8-11, 0.46 PPG/0.12 NHLE
Jérémy Lauzon (QMJHL), 26 GP, 5-29-34, 1.31 PPG/0.34 NHLE
Roland McKeown (OHL), 30 GP, 6-22-28, 0.93 PPG/0.30 NHLE
Travis Sanheim (WHL), 24 GP, 8-23-31, 1.29 PPG/0.35 NHLE
Here’s Paigin’s NHLE’s (0.80 for KHL) for comparison:
Ziyat Paigin (KHL), 26 GP, 3-9-12, 0.46 PPG/0.37 NHLE
So yeah, Paigin is looking really good here, but I kind of feel bad for Bear (born 1997) being overlooked for this year’s WJC squad.
Thanks for the research on the Bear info and your right, I would have like to see him on the WJ roster, he deserves a spot but I don’t know the style they are playing. Bear is 5’11” 200 lbs and build like a brick house. He skates well, solid first pass but not sure if he has shutdown defensive skills that the team may have wanted for players not in top 4 spots.
All I know is i did research in him after he was drafted and with his points pace being over double last year, this kid has the will to play hard and improve.
Does anyone know if he is a physical player or hits a lot of people? fights?
Bear will fight, but he’s not a scrapper. Using Darnell last year as a comparison, their scoring is similar (Nurse had 33 points in 36 games), but Bear’s only got 18 PIMs compared to Nurse’s 56.
Tough to get situational analytics out of the CHL, so we’ll probably just have to wait to see more, but Bear finished +23 last year and is +8 so far this year. Nurse finished +11 in the Soo. Read from that what you will.
I think we should all forget Scriven’s first 6 games, he’s better than that.
^and who knows? they may all never play a game.
Don’t know why Bear was overlooked for the WJC squad.
I don’t know why Mike McLeod was overlooked for the WJC squad
Good to see Reinhart playing well down there. Hope he can be a dominant player over the next stretch and force a call up.
Would like to know more about Caleb Jones, 13th in defensive scoring as a rookie. He has done much better offensively than I expected and defense was his strength
Team Canada has 11 D men at camp. Only two are righties.
Coulda used Ethan Bear.
