No, he’s two years older than everyone else. I’d say second round max, most likely 3-4th.

Until Carels is on campus there’s always concern. However, Rangers won’t be good next year and do have some dmen that could play. They didn’t rush Emery I doubt they’d rush Carels

Huge…hockey’s path was so great because it gave late bloomers a chance. I’m fine with removing 25 year olds and guys who’ve already played pro, but cutting kids’ path at 22 (in some cases) was a bit aggressive. Especially for those kids who’ve already started HS and will graduate prior to 18.

Clanko reported Belchetz’s nil deal was $200k…those Big10 team really throwing around dough

Denver is loading late. D core is super fun on paper, they’ll be young though.

Yes, those are facts.

Williams wasn’t the best F this year on the Blades. Klimpke is nice, excited for him to come in next year. Should have a great role from the get go.

Really nice get. If they add DuPont or Rudolph…some scary stuff.

Is Carle leaving?

I think they are…I heard a rumor his gf may be going to Kato? You know how that goes. Also, sounds like his dad and Larson used to play together.

Bleyl really popped this year, I actually think it’s smart to play another year of juniors. He’s a mid to late first round pick, which is wild he’s not coming in next year but there’s really no rush. Reid is a one and done most likely so he’ll walk into a great role after next year.

Bingo. Everyone will 3 or under. Unicorns won’t stay over 3 and everyone else will only have 3.

Jack Nesbitt to Michigan

I’m really hoping this works.

Correct. I wasn’t talking about “drafts” I was talking about guys who make teams. Again, later bloomers typically go undrafted at various levels (ushl/chl, 40 man, nhl, etc) but they make teams. First rounders are first rounders, not talking about those types. I’m more talking about guys who develop later and make teams. I think hale fits that makeup. Again, he’ll need to pack some weight on. He’s skilled. Drafts are obviously beneficial, but they’re point in time markers. After his successful year, I would be confused as to why cc would deco him, unless there was some sort of coaching change im not aware of.

You could very well be right, he could have been decommitted. But I saw him play 2-3 times this year and saw him play here and there over the past 2 years or so. He’s actually pretty good. Yes, he’s playing at his own birth year but he was 100% a later bloomer. And still, right now, he really needs to add some weight to his frame. I think folks get a bit lost with purely looking at ages…he’s actually gotten better and better while also dealing with injuries. He had a much better role on that SSM team than Grubb. And while I realize hale is a year older, anyone who’s seen them knows Grubb is more physically mature at this stage. we’ll see how it all plays out.

I really like Klimpke, he’s going to have a huge year next year.

DuPont Mich or maybe MN like other noted, that makes sense. No idea on Rudolph but again, probably Big10. They’ll get some $

Saw this on social media…Bauer should push for some ice time. Nice depth add for sure. If we weren’t getting another blue chip this is a nice fall back.

This potential deal to Toronto is getting pretty warm…

He’s the same size but he’s different. Carels is a great skater, Schaefer is one of the most explosive skaters on planet earth. Probably the closest thing to McDavid honestly. Schaefer is a unicorn. I really like Carels , but he’s not Schaefer.

Completely agree on Laurila. By the end of the season he was looking pretty dynamic.

True…but man, that franchise is in a rough spot. They may want to delay a year (maybe two) to continue to stack high enders. Would be a tough slot to be a dman next year. He’d be going for the green jacket for sure.

MSU gobbling everything up. Hage still there, Mich needs to make another push. DuPont would make some sense.
