No one would pass on Berchild. I have reservations on how high end he will eventually be, however his floor would be very good college player. 1st line/top PP, etc. Also, phenomenal character with unreal work ethic.
Agreed with them landing a few. Although with Hastings at Wisco he may be going the old route that has always been his bread and butter. We’ll see if they land Hurlbert.
From what I’ve gathered…Swanson either isn’t an elite skater or he’s not a burner. Supposedly his shot isn’t plus either. So while his vision is elite, he’s supposedly minus in a couple other key areas. The smaller players that get drafted early typically are trigger men (I.e Caufield, DeBrincat) and/or they absolutely fly.
Swanson too, he posted the F article 30 or so before. Sounds like Emery may be our only chance at representation barring a huge first half. Swanson was getting tons of PP looks but it appears it just wasn’t clicking. Quick event; he would have a chance next year too. Onto the season.
Not only Moorhead…there’s a ton of kids from MN with UND/GF ties that are about 2-3 years away. Some of those players are tops in the country….at least at the moment. A lot of things change obviously.
