There was a wite-up done on the HF main page for German prospects if anyone noticed. It included Endras and here's what they had to say:
Quote:
If you know little about Augsburg’s Denis Endras, then it’s time to get caught up. In the course of four short years, Endras has gone from a young hopeful in Germany’s third league to World Championship MVP. The feat achieved last May capped off a storybook 2009-10 season that also saw him carry the DEL’s Cinderella team, the Augsburg Panthers, all the way to a championship loss to the Hannover Scorpions. It didn’t take long for the news to hit that Endras had signed with the Minnesota Wild. According to terms of the agreement, Endras is scheduled to spend the entire 2010-11 season with the Panthers and will go to North America for the 2011-12 season. Thus far, Endras has picked up where he left off last season, serving as Augsburg’s unchallenged go-to guy. The season has gotten off to a good start for Endras, who has won four of his six starts – all on the road – and currently boasts a 2.35 GAA and a .924 save percentage. In general, the Wild organization can look forward to a very agile and intelligent goalie that is particularly strong in his rebound control. His current play would indicate that he may very well be the DEL’s top goaltender and suddenly the most highly touted of all German prospects.
Is it me or are we going to have a solid Team Finland in the next few years? Granlund, Koivu, Haula...
No you pretty much hit the ole nail on the head with that one I'd say. Which I think might be at least part of the reason why the Wild were picked to play some games in Finland this year. Just my hunch.
From all reports I've seen in Hackett had himself a nice start to the season last night. Wonder if by the time he'll be ready to make it to the NHL he'll have a Harding-like buzz around his game.
The one good thing about Haula compared to the rest of the Gopher freshman was that he had really good awareness about where he needed to be and where the puck was. Still a work in progress, but the skill is there.

You mean a moderately successful goalie blocked by a older, more experienced goaltender that is making more money than him?
-Re-arranged stats in best to worst per position
-Changed Jason Zucker and Johan Larsson to LW
-Help needed: online, it says Jarod Palmer is a D, which I doubt he is, unless he underwent a position change. Anyone know about this?
-According to the mnwild and Russo's twitter, Larsson scored 3 goals and an assist in a junior game in Sweden, but I can't find a record for it.
Jarod Palmer is a forward per the Wild's prospect camp, can't remember if he's a center or wing but we'll probably hear about it soon in Houston. You can also tweet @msconduct10 to find out I'm sure.

After not being in the lineup last game (unknown if injury or healthy scratch), Foucault goes 2+2 for 4 points tonight. Also, Bulmer had a goal and Mackinely or whatever had an assist (No, I'm not going to look up the correct name because I'm lazy).
Foucault seems to be inconsistent and after Pouliot, I'm not excited about him. On the otherhand, Kuemper is simply ripping it! Leads the WHL goalies in wins, 3rd in ice time played, 4th in SV % (the 3 goalies ahead of him have played only 3 games compared to Kuemper's 4) and 2nd in GAA (behind Ian Curtis, who has played only one game)
Stat-wise, Kuemper is most probably the top goalie in the Western Hockey League
Granlund's been a bit quiet for a couple of games, but he did won the game tonight on shootout. He was the only one who scored (HIFK's 5th shooter). He was also their 1st shooter, but he missed that; tried to deke the goalie but couldn't lift the puck over his pad from small angle.
I haven't seen the last few games (except tonight's overtime and shootout), so I can't comment on his play much, but apparently he's struggled a bit as a 1st line C and tonight they tried him on his last year's line with Jerry Ahtola and Teemu Ramstedt.
so can we get some updates on stats for players? i mostly wanna know granlunds, but if anyone else feels like they wanna post other prospect stats please do so! =D

While it is nice to have stats of all our prospects in one place, I am sure that CT is busy and will update as much possible. In the meantime, checkout eliteprospects.com or hockeydb.com and you can find stats for whomever you wish.
