Read that too

I’ve read that as well.

Very smart strategy for them. Some of those Usports teams are decent. And these are their all stars. Teams like Duluth, SCSU etc should have jumped on this earlier.

26/27? Why not 25/26…school?

As of now they’re all going there. Obv coaching changes can change things.

Yes, as of now he’s going MSU.

I’m not sure…DU would make some sense

I actually agree here. He’s actually a decent player. Not sure he cracks our lineup this year but he may have a role his upper class years. Would lock up Landon too for 1-2 years. Im hearing Schaefer may play a year of college puck.

I’m next to certain the plan for Schultz was to always go back and play another year of juniors. If he’s going to play awhile it will because of his O game. Anyone with his best interests in mind would push that. His year last season was very up and down. Nice player, but he definitely needs one more year.

O’Neill may play two years in the Dub…not the worst thing to think about for maximizing his career. Pilgrim will have to age out.

Really ok I’ve never heard too much about him…numbers don’t overly wow me

Almost sounded as though BU kind of wanted to go in a different direction. He doesn’t appear to be a world beater.

They kind of have to be tbh…their mgmt is getting raked over the coals with their offseason moves so far…including the Marchand move itself. They had all the cap and they’ve basically signed a bunch of 4th liners. They needed scoring and have gotten none. Might as well trade pasta for the future.

Why?

20-25! I think I’ll take the under Maybe 20 I suppose if he has a really big year. He’d need to be on pp1 and play on a really good ES line the whole year. Jackson Blake was underrated too. He was slight but put up good numbers in the ushl…I had a hunch he’d hit the ground running right away. Not a ton of folks did though.

If they can keep Howard this year they will be absolutely loaded.

That’s what I was thinking. Many folks on this forum were bashing the Michigans, BU’s, etc no more than 4-5 months ago…same folks are excited about 18 year old CHL players. And in full disclosure, I am excited about 18 year old CHL blue chips too…but I understand the risk of being a little too young as well. Interesting balancing act.

He’ll be just fine

I’m still blown away Laurila didn’t go until the 5th. He should have went late second to 3-4. I’d bet top $ he plays in the nhl for at least 7-8 years

His team was good and with cristall and catton there he probably didn’t get any pp1 looks…but judging by his production I would say another year in the dub would serve him well. I’d be fine with hone committing for 26-27 though.

gutted for lindberg, he should have been drafted. Ntdp backfires for some. He’ll go next year. The 07 ntdp squad was down this past year and impacted a lot of them. He should go next year. edit: I just heard that zero defensemen under 6 ft were drafted

Bear is going back to Junior

With Simpson its overall compete…and defensive awareness. Serious flaws to be honest. He’s a wizard in the ozone and his shot is what I would label as “special” but there are colossal red flags.

Agreed. I mean the full blown blue chips will blue chip…but I also remember folks on this forum bashing Michigan and BU for all their young players. As a reminder, some of these kids coming in will under achieve. College is a different (heavier) game.

Matthew mania to Michigan
