Drafted:
Philadelphia Flyers, 3rd-round selection (95th overall) in 2001.

Player No. 16 Profile:

Name:
Patrick Sharp

Team:
Philadelphia Phantoms

League: AHL

Position:
Center

Hometown:
Thunder Bay, Ontario

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 200 lbs.

Birth Date:
12/27/81


Insider's Edge:

Patrick Sharp, a 2nd year center and the Phantom’s reigning rookie of the year, is off to a good start in 2003.

Sharp is described by our sources as a very intelligent player, who sees the ice very well.

“He has decent size and great skills for a 21-year old.”

One of the last cuts in the Flyer’s training camp, Sharp still needs some experience and ice time, but he might get a chance skate in the NHL should injuries mount.


Jason Bacashihua



Drafted:
Dallas Stars, 1st-round selection (26th overall) in 2001.

Player No. 17 Profile:

Name:
Jason Bacashihua
[Ba-cash-ua]


Team:
Utah Grizzlies

League: AHL

Position:
Goaltender

Hometown:
Garden City, MI

Height: 5'11"

Weight: 175 lbs.

Birth Date:
09/20/82


Insider's Edge:


Jason Bacashihua is emerging as a bright prospect in the Stars’ organization, despite the Grizzlies slow start to the 2004 season.

“His record this season is very deceiving,” states one source. “He’s not getting any offensive support.”

Insiders rave about Jason’s work ethic and respect his work on getting better at handling the puck out of the net.

Our sources say Bacashihua already possesses a “fantastic, NHL caliber glove.”

“He likes to stay back, relying on the great glove. Dallas is trying to get him to come out and challenge the shooters a little more. If he learns to use the angles a little better, that should expedite his route to the NHL.”

 

David LeNeveu



Drafted:
Phoenix Coyotes, 2nd-round selection (46th overall) in 2002.

Player No. 18 Profile:

Name:
David LeNeveu

Team:
Springfield Falcons

League: AHL

Position:
Goaltender

Hometown:
Fernie, B.C.

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 170 lbs.

Birth Date:
5/23/83


 

Insider's Edge:

David LeNeveu is fresh off a dominant, record-breaking season at Cornell University, where he was a runner up for the Hobey Baker award.

LeNeveu still needs to learn the pro game, as he is described as “raw but with great ability.”

“He has good quickness, great instincts, and the potential to be a #1 goalie in the NHL,” says one source.
