Most of those guys you mentioned were physically dominant at 14-15 so they were told they were going to be the best players. Things change, the game gets tough.
He just doesn’t want to play junior hockey anymore I guess. It isn’t for everyone. Agree though…probably needs another year unless he’s purely a bottom 6 player. He’s not a pp guy on EDM even after playing two year NTDP.
He’s a bit undersized…playing a gap year in the O made sense. Clearly he’s past that level but is still really small. Taking the slower path is a decent route. He’ll be really good right away next year.
Hopefully we’re after Buttweiler, Thompson and Cullen. Would love Daley too but he may be tough being an east coast kid. I get Cullens boys are going Minny but the goofs could screw that up too
Yep, 05s this is their last year, next year is 06s. But in the CHL/USHL leagues it’s tougher as they limit the 20 year olds to 3-4 I believe. NAHL is wide open I believe.
