That wraps it up. All out prospects seasons are over and we move on to the playoffs! Some are done, like NCAA prospects Nolan Vesey and Dakota Joshua and Euro leaguers like Herzog and Engvall.
OHL, WHL, and QMJHL playoffs start this week, as well as the NCAA Frozen Four tournament where Toninato and Cameranesi join UMD in their first round match versus Providence. Andreas Johnson and Frolunda are midway through their first round series vs Djurgarden, leading 2-1 in the series.

Looking at the playoffs in the OHL, we're most likely going to see all prospects move on to atleast the second round, where we'll drop a couple from the west, and a Kingston/London final is probably what we'll see. In the Q, if we go by standings Dzierkals and Timashov could meet in the finals there. Having multiple prospects in the Memorial Cup again would be awesome.
My favourite time of the year, is finally here.
