Thrashers prospects final statistics for 2003-04

Below are final 2003-04 regular season statistics for all Thrashers prospects, divided into the levels and ordered by points per game. Juniors playoff stats are current to April 11.  All goaltenders are listed together at the bottom, by goals against average. Notes on players from each category follow the stats.

Karl Stewart led Thrashers AHL prospects in points and points per game, a stunning +24, and most surprisingly, 186 penalty minutes as he showed a bit more edge to his game than in junior. Derek MacKenzie led all prospects in goals with 19.  Tommi Santala led prospects in points per game, but he’s also the oldest.  Kurtis Foster‘s -2 is a big improvement over his plus/minus last season.  Jeff Dwyer, who joined the team once Yale’s season was over,  did not score a single point in 11 games played, which is concerning for a supposedly offensive defenseman.  He was +1, however. 

Anthony Aquino‘s -2 doesn’t look as bad as it was most of the season, but it was still one of the worst on the team. He struggled to get ice time down the stretch. Paul Flache actually scored at a higher clip in the AHL than the ECHL.  

Jim Slater paced Thrashers prospects with 1.14 points per game.  He was a Top 10 finalist for the 2004 Hobey Baker award.  Nathan Oystrick was second on his team in scoring, from the blue line at a .72 points per game pace.  Mike Hamilton helped his Maine Black Bears to the 2004 NCAA Championship.  He picked up his scoring down the stretch and played a good number of minutes for a freshman.

Loginov’s very lopsided stats show how much of a pure goal-scorer he is.  Enstrom finished with only five points in 33 games in the Swedish Elite League.

Juniors (Regular season)

Brad Schell continues to pace all junior prospects, at 1.25 points per game.  Jimmy Sharrow‘s -19 looks painful, but the worst on the team is a -35.
