CBJ Prospect Spotlight, Episode 3
Peter Thome
Goaltender
Drafted: 2016, 6th Round (166th overall)
Current Status: Reserve List (rights expire August 15th, 2022)
-As much as it would have been cool, he is not related to Cleveland baseball legend and Baseball Hall of Famer Jim Thome. He is related to a baseball player, though: his cousin Andrew is a pitcher in the Houston Astros organization.
-He's spent 5 years in the NCAA, which i didn't think was even possible. 4 years in North Dakota and 1 year at St. Thomas.
-In terms of awards, he was the runner up in the NCAA (NCHC) championship and won a Penrose Cup as regular season champion.
-I couldn't find a single solitary bit of film on this guy, which is weird because UND is a big hockey school, and he made a total of 42 starts over the 4 years he was there.
-In terms of stats, he had an average SV% of
.871 and a GAA of
3.69. That's bad.
FInal thoughts: AHL depth at best. I always have him penciled in as the starting goalie in Cleveland (over JF Berube), but i feel like we're going to draft a goalie with one of our mid-round picks (someone like Braden Holt). He'll be backing up whoever we draft/sign in the AHL.
