US won the Youth Olympic Games gold. ‘08 birth year. I’m sure we’ll be all over a bunch of these players.

Hopefully he keeps it going. Seems like he can be streaky. Can he play another year of juniors?

Ya that was odd…shocked there actually

So are we going to catch this game mid second period?

Canadians need to develop a non CHL league to compete with the USHL. They are losing a lot of their high end kids coming to the US to play. Rather than their home Junior leagues

He’s good but probably should be considered a sophomore…has to be the oldest frosh in the state

Lukas Sawchyn commits to DU…that’s a pretty big one. High WHL flight risk though.

We were clearly the better teams. But giving up the PP’s. Taking terrible ozone penalties…not back checking. This team is missing the old “attention to details” element. It’s almost as if some players are chasing pts a bit hard and forgetting that the goal is to win the game. That’s what I took away from last nights game. For as good as Blake is, he can play a bit too selfish a good amount of the time.

Boys need to figure it out starting tonight. If they would have played like crap that one thing. But the way they lost last night was tough. Tendy was very avg and the team D was brutal.

We shall see.

He was solid later in juniors too. I believe he lead the ushl in pts his last year.

Tough loss. Boys are in a funk

Still salty about the morrow deal…and rizzo….and the guy that went to OSU.

I’m next to certain, that Zellers and his advisors want him to play a year in the ushl. Taking more of a slower development path. It’s worked for him so far. He’s an April birthday so a bit young for a senior. No issues with that tbh

I feel like Berrys kid will commit somewhere like St Thomas

The only kid I don’t care where (or if) he is drafted is Swanson. That kid fills it.

In this day and age…we’d get taken out behind the woodshed

He’s really never played. I mean, I guess I’m not overly disappointed he left. But I’m not oblivious to fact his only minutes were 4 line minutes.

In his defense, he was buried on the 4th line when he did play and didn’t touch the PP. Now, I’m not saying he should have a different role (based on practice results), just stating the obvious. Tough to do much on a bottom line. Tough deal all around because he’ll, most likely, be a solid college player at point.

The guy had 64 in 60 last year, probably just wants to play. He most likely feels he’s getting slighted and he has the option of going elsewhere. Opens up a spot for us I suppose. I don’t fault the player the least bit, curious how this will impact recruiting going forward. I think this situation will happen a ton moving forward.

I agree slightly. The idea used to be a combination of blue chips/really good true freshman and overagers. Now I’m wondering if it’s blue chips, transfers and then guys who know they won’t play and they’re fine with that. Younger skaters who are on the bubble will just go elsewhere in search of more PT

I’m assuming he’s heading back to the ushl to finish the year.

Makes sense to me.

It’s insane to think that the same NTDP team that beat us and outshot the gophs (the next day) just got smoked by SF in the ushl and were outshot as well. Hockey is a funny game.

I have never seen either play. However, these are two very different leagues. As an example, K McInnis.
