Avs Junior and College Prospects Update

Name            Team     League   GP   G   A   P  PIM  +/-
Jared Aulin   Kamloops    WHL     25  15  26  41   27   2

Notes: Aulin has been lighting it up this year with Kamloops. Impressed a lot at training camp this year. Is a darkhorse to make the team next season.

Name                    Team     League   GP   G   A   P  PIM  +/-
Jordan Krestanovich    Calgary    WHL     24  16  19  35   10  23

Notes: Doesn’t get a lot of attention with the Hitmen as he is overshadowed by Pavel Brendl, Kris Beech and Brent Krahn, however, it’s hard for Krestanovich’s talents to go unnoticeable.

Name            Team     League   GP   G   A   P  PIM  +/-
Kurt Sauer     Spokane    WHL     23   1   4   5   33  12

Notes: A solid defensive defenseman, Sauer does not have much of an offensive upside, but don’t boot him off the radar because of that.

Name              Team     League   GP   G   A   P  PIM  +/-
Agris Saviels  Owen Sound    OHL    24   2  11  13   10  -2

Notes: A steady two-way defenseman, Agris hasn’t been putting up the offensive numbers like he should.

Name                    Team     League    GP   G   A   P  PIM  +/-
Branko Radivojevic   Belleville    OHL     22  10  24  34   19   19

Notes: This speedy Czech has great hockey sense and a knack for scoring. Expect him to be a good NHLer in the near future.

Aaron Molnar   London     OHL     24   1356  3.81   0  .893

Notes: Has been playing well on a poor London Knights team. Adds more depth to the Avs group of goaltending prospects.

Kristian Kovac   Victoriaville  QMJHL   10   6  3   9   18  Even

Notes: A lot of people have started questioning this kid’s potential, but so far he has done what has been asked of him. I like him a lot and feel he could make it to the big show.

Conclusion: I’m not a full time Avalanche writer for those of you wondering. Just trying to help out the section a little bit. I love researching stats and will continue to help out some other teams as well. As this is not permanent, I did not spend a lot of time searching for statistics for players I couldn’t find. Sorry. My permanent job is as the Rangers assistant Editor, so if you want you can check out my work there.
