From debuts to college championships, it was another wild week in the world of NHL prospects.
– it was when. Considered to be one of the best defensive prospects in the game, Edvinsson, 20, was called up to make his NHL debut against Colorado on Saturday, playing 15:34 and landing a big hit on superstar forward Nathan MacKinnon. While it was a relatively uneventful debut, and the Wings fell 5-1 to the playoff-bound Avalanche, Edvinsson still showed what he’s made of against one of the best teams in the league.
The Bruins don’t have a deep prospect pool, and the focus is on winning now. But Merkulov has exceeded expectations early in his pro career, and the Russian’s offensive game looks well-rounded. Merkulov will fight for a roster spot next year. He’s a solid, inexpensive depth-scoring option that could play higher up in a pinch.‘ college success has been well-documented over the past two years, and he’s now the winner of the B1G player of the year award.
