On this topic, I’m somewhat fine with taking a tendy out of the portal but we need to punt the whole build our team from small program portal transfers. There’s a reason these guys were at these schools to begin with. Unless they are drafted and a proven commodity (ie Pohkamp, Lucius, etc), stick away from players who beat up AH.

They do this balancing act with their lines at even strength. We clearly don’t have the skill to do that and be able to score, or even get chances with any sort of regularity. Time for a traditional 1-2-3-4. Play the top 2 a ton, 3 gets in there, 4 plays sparingly especially when we are up. I would love to know our ice time breakdown between the lines. I feel we just roll our lines.

15 really struggles.

That was so lucky…we’ll take it. Hopefully this sparks something

This team is so much better than we are. All the way around…should probably just go to bed. I haven’t seen a scoring chance yet.

Haha nhl contracts

Ok we look so bad right now…is it just me? They look significantly more skilled than we do. They pass well too. Completely out pointed.

Horrid first, need to tie it up before the third.

We cannot possess the puck. We’re getting smoked.

Looks to be another slow start.

Well those are the non blue chips folks complain about. If you get a blue chip, anything over a year is awesome, anything over two years is unreal. So to me, you have to assume any blue chip is only here 1-2 years. That happens today.

He really looked dynamic last night…hopefully he brings that confidence/playmaking to next weekend’s games as Manitoba was atrocious. Not sure how much that game will help them.

Honestly I have no idea, I’ve never seen this kid play. Not a 5 star…but the coaches definitely watch all these kids. Maybe he’s a later bloomer that starting to put it together like Pinto was. Again, no idea.

13 pts (6g/7a) in 7 games at the Circle K….just named MVP of the whole tourney as a 2010. Shattucks Prep team won the tourney and they have ‘06’s on their team.

To follow up on Schultz, he just put up video game numbers at the prestigious Circle K Classic. And he’s significantly younger than everyone else. Appears to be the cream of the crop at that birth year.

Very true. You always need 3-4 and back fill with good late bloomers/overagers.

Didn’t he get healthied when he was holding onto pucks too long and chucking them to the middle of the ice for turnovers? I remember him getting Sat or something.

Pinto was a nice late bloomer. Was already starting to pop at u16. Smith is an NHL 4th longer…and that awesome! But you can’t have a full team of Cole smiths. This could be a nice commitment…I haven’t seen the kid play. I have seen spehars kid play a ton so it’s a bit shocking to see this kid behind spehar’s in pts. Nothing against spehar either, he’s really good. He’s just an underager playing up and I never really saw him as a top flight 09. Just a really good one. To be honest, the best player on that team is Jimmy Egan…looks like he chose CC.

And he’s an under ager playing up.

That’s interesting.

Def not featured as a top 6 but I remember him earning more and more icetime as the tourney progressed. 6 pts in 7 games. I believe he had a goal called back against the Canadians in the semis. Second pp unit if in remembering correctly. Not terrible deployment.

It’s been a while. Schmaltz…Blake? I know Schmaltz was on the PP

Don’t forget about DU

Tyson jugnauth to Michigan state…that’s a nice one right there.

Schultz is really good. But way more mature than many kids his age. Time will tell. I like to wait until 16 to see if they can play when everyone’s mature. But this kid is pretty dang good.
