Looks like Noesen is playing on the first line with Tom Wilson and Rickard Rackell. Didn't work that well last night, PLY lost to SSM in OT 5-6, Noesen was on the ice for all goals against.
Puempel looks like also playing first line with Faksa and Rieder. Added ENG in a 3-0 win.

Reason: Added list of prospects & their teams
Excited to see how Matt Puempel does this year. While it's not a make or break year, he's got to improve on last seasons performance to give me the confidence that he's going to be a scorer in the NHL.

"What if something amazing happens today?" - Jack Jablonski Blog (Click Here): Turris, The Goal. Ottawa, The Win.
Mikael Wikstrand, drafted this year, has started out the season in Sweden extremely well. He has managed to score 3 goals in 4 games. (compared to 2 goals in 47 games last year).
He and Tom Nilsson (Toronto prospect) is so far the best defensemens in the entire Mora team.
Im stoked Puempel gets to play with Faksa. I think my prediction might not be reached of 45+ goals, but i think he could get 90 points imo. Reason being Reider is a goal scorer, and Faksa is pretty good in that regard, so goals / assists will be more evenly split between them.
Tom Wilson is an interesting choice for Plymouth's first line as well. I guess they want to spread the talent more than last year. Im happy Miller and Noesen are split though.
Septermber 22 OHL
Noesen- 1 Goal, +1, in 3-2 loss
Ceci- 1 Goal, Even, 4-3 loss WHL
Driedger, 28 shots with 27 Saves, 9.64 save percentage in 5-1 win
Fransoo- Even across the board in 3-2 win
Despite loses at least the kids are performing decently so far. In other news saw Silfverberg at junxion last night, good to know hes keeping busy here in Ottawa.
Yes, Noesen and Puempel are 99.98% playing their final years in Junior.
When a player is elite like both Puempel and Noesen are, it's generally thought of as being better for development if they move on as quickly as possible. While the 67s fan in me cried for Ryan Martindale to be sent back to Ottawa instead of the ECHL, I understand why NHL teams decide to send their players to the minor leagues as opposed to the juniors.

The sooner a player can adapt to the pro game the better for the organization. Like you said, there is no sense wasting time during that transition. As soon as elite talent is eligible to turn pro they have to go.

Caught the highlights, Wikstrand's first goal was one hell of a shot. The second goal was a nice read to shoot low and hard through the screen.

Puempel playing for the Rangers threw me for a loop, not sure how I missed that. I have the understanding that I'm going to be performing (bagpipe band) for a Remembrance Day Pre-Game Service at a Rangers game early Nov.
Excited to do up a scouting report for Puempel that day

Demanded a trade. Demanded a trade to Kitchener.
I think he might be our highest rising prospect after this year.
Yeah was gonna say, if he plays a full season and doesn't get 40, that's a huge disappointment
If I was Puempel I'd be gunning for 50-55. Jeff Skinner scored 50 in his draft year...I think Puempel can score that or above at 19, considering his linemates. The guy must be so pumped to be in Kitchener and he knows making Team Canada is completely in his hands as he plays infront of Spott nightly.

Being around Ottawa and this being my last year of junior, I wanted to win and be a part of a team that is in a different phase of a rebuild. I thought Kitchener would be a great spot. Fortunately enough, it worked out for both sides.”
Puempel said he didn't start out demanding to go to Kitchener but as the process went along it became the most attractive option to him. He wanted to be closer to his Windsor area home but also wanted to remain in Canada.
