He's assuming he's going to be a rockstar all year and dominate games. If he is and puts up a monster season, it will justify him signing after 1 year. If he does not, a 2nd year would benefit him, and thus Carels, Conroy, and Dane Jackson would have to have a conversation about that.

Levi Harper (2008, OHL, Saginaw Spirit) commits to Michigan as most expected

I believe the reason is that Nashville told him they wanted him in the NCAA for 2026-27

London doesn't play their 17 year olds huge minutes unless they're Patrick Kane level rockstars, so their stats are deflated and teams like the higher ceiling potential they have. Same thing happened to Luke Evangelista and Easton Cowan. Regarding Preston, some have wondered if medical reports had flags. Additionally, his production in the Dub this past year was legitimately disappointing. I think he's a Penn State or Boston College guy if he goes NCAA for his D+2.

Alex Hage won't be at Michigan this fall unless he's fine being the 14F, he ain't ready for the NCAA, needs to really progress in junior for at least another year

Penn State has been hard after him for awhile, we'll monitor that going forward

Beckett Hamilton will be a guy to watch moving forward. Very good year on a crappy Red Deer team in the Dub, projected 3rd rounder today. Follows North Dakota on IG.

It will be most interesting to see if Josh Ravensbergen can be a rockstar right away in net or not for State

Mike Grier played at Boston University and knows that another year in the NCAA will do great things for Verhoeff!

Nope, Craig Conroy played at Clarkson, he knows the benefits of the NCAA route.

Wasn't Schneider down to Minnesota, St Thomas, & Denver?

That's a solid addition for them. He had an ok u17 year at the NTDP, wonder how much/if he can progress in his u18 year, considering they're losing multiple guys off that team to the CHL

Hoping he's somewhere in the range of late 80s/early 90s Scott Stevens. Super productive offensively and also throws (clean) bone crushing hits

Ravensbergen should be great, we just cannot guarantee it will be right away or even consistent

1. Michigan 2. North Dakota 3. Denver 4. Minnesota Duluth 5. Michigan State Minnesota Duluth and Michigan State need to prove that their new goaltenders will be more than adequate.

DuPont to Michigan per Schloss

DuPont commitment news getting closer it would seem

Zellers stated in an interview he wanted to play 3 years IIRC.

2027-28 is when he'd arrive in the NCAA at the earliest. He doesn't graduate HS until 2027 (unless he's accelerated)
