True, but Blaisdell played on a pretty bad (regular season team) whereas Penticton is always loaded. You're right though, we'll see how they do this year.

I would say Frisch and/bast wouldbwait another year. Potentially Caulfield however Blaisdell is ranked rather high.

Trey ausmus should get a look. He’s high end.

Oh I see, late 00’s. This is their draft year but not eligible for the Hlinka. Same would go for Donavon

Weird....Frisch and Pinto didn't even make the Hlinka team. Pinto may be older I guess.

Isn’t he a year younger?

Coaches, city, high end school

I'll put him committing at under 2 weeks

These guys are still young. Some of them may not turn out to be exactly what some think...others may be better. We attempt to recruit the best kids every single year. You're never going to turn away a kid because they happen to be too talented. Berry is going into year 3 (I believe), his recruiting has picked up over time. A few years ago, I was curious if the recruiting would take a hit with Hak's departure. It did, to an extent, but has picked right back up. I expect Berry to continue this recent trend.

Big get for the boys. Halliday is a top notch recruit. Bubs is on a nice streak lately.

As much as a disagree with your take on 3x3 deciding a regular season game...I honestly don’t think your take is all that crazy. A buddy and I were just talking about this. Moving to 4x4...and taking body checks out of the game (yet contact would remain similar to women’s hockey). This will probably get a response

Roman Schmidt to BU. That’s big.

I'm sure that plays into it a bit. However, I have a goalie buddy who always goes back to the newer sticks nowadays. Given how light they are and with that flex, players can send quick rockets from anywhere. The sticks along with player skates, there is just no time and space anymore. Couple that with the goalie equipment and it's simply tougher to score goals these days.

I thought I read something different in a Athletic article. Could be wrong. edit: you’re right. I read the headline wrong a while back.

Interesting. I know he looked really good at the Wild's D camp. However he was also a healthy scratch for the Force during the end stages of the playoffs. College would be a big jump.

His records will never be broken. Completly different game now. The way they played back then (with the time and space) is pretty much the equivalent to playing 3x3 (ok maybe 4x4).

Both Randklevs from FF, I’m sure they are related. Can’t always pick who you’re related to, wouldn’t be his fault obviously. I would guess that creep has already been booted from the family if they are related.

Nothing really....unless there is a reasonable solution NOT to have a tie. 3x3 is perfect. I'm not a huge fan of the shootouts however if it is regular season only, I guess I'm fine with it. I love the game of hockey, so to see the skill some guys have during 3x3/shootouts gets my attention.

yeah....most hockey folks feel this way.

I agree.

3x3 is so fun to play and watch.

I hope the NCAA starts becoming more lenient. The CHL is nothing more than juiced up junior league. The only issue is that certain players have already signed NHL contracts (received signing bonus $) and have played NHL games.

No it doesn't happen very often.

Interesting Dub commit, even if we don’t get to see him for a few years

Carter Batchelder is one to watch. Very good player.
