Yes, and Minnesota was always #1 in his heart. Edina kid. Although his dad is a 218er

Puck Preps is probably the least accurate of all the amateur scouting and ranking click bait sellers. When you have repeated years of multiple US born top 20 players on their site that don't even get invited to 40-man it says something. I think it boils down to they don't really know the game and are ranking based on fan boy watches and highlights. That said, Schneider is a 5 star recruit. He is lightning quick and is an excellent playmaker. He is on the lighter side for sure, but his game isn't about power. He had a season ending lower body injury this year.

One puck....that's also part of the pipeline.....

Yeah, Thompson was a breakaway academy kid, so he knows Chyzyk from there. I guess his grandfather was CFO of Altru for a really long time. He models his game after Toews. His development coach at Eden Prairie was Jason Blake. Not that any of those things make him a lock, but should certainly put us in the hunt.

I don't think we are in on Schneider. In the upcoming elite 2010's (can't offer until 8/1) I have heard we are in on Liam Pue and RJ Thompson (they are friends and lit up the WSI on the same line). I wouldn't be surprised if we are in on Maddox Schultz too. Those are 3 of the top 10 2010's...Bryn and Jacks just lining up the chippaz! Nice mix of WHL studs and USNTDP studs...just like Fitzy and the Rucks...I like that feel. Now if they could get the Fighting Sioux name back too, then I would call for canonizing lol.

rate goes up to get a first rounder to stay a 2nd or 3rd year...

$100k seems to be the going rate for a chippa

For chippaz it is never a straight bidding war, but you can't be grossly out of the ballpark either. We are crushing it on west canada dmen....gotta be careful to not get pigeon holed

Seriously, its gross. Unless you are NTDP or a first round pick or tendered in USHL/CHL...good luck getting 4 years of college

If you are playing in the NAHL, the dream already has passed you by...more so now with 5 in 5 than ever. You gotta be top 6 in USHL or CHL now at 16...maybe 17 if you have size.

Every advisor worth their salt has elite talent narrow it down to 5 immediately.

Reflecting on these souls and their all too brief time here with us, I can't help but think about the sense of community that sports (and in these cases a message board around college sports) creates. For those of us who have been around here for decades, these losses are not random names or pictures on the internet, but people we've engaged with passionately and often times met randomly in real life on our escapades. God Speed siouxsports friends...be sure to let us know if indeed in heaven there is no beer.

This is interesting...in the great history of Shattuck St Mary's, only 29 players that played their 18 year old season at Shattuck went on to be NHL draft picks. The vast majority of their cred is due to kids that played there, but left at 16 or 17.

playing his own birthyear...hes good, not really d1. He tied Sunger in points. I love Sung, but he's a 5'8 16 year old...
