yzerman19 Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Regarding some of the draft, gotta remember one of the huge differentiators at the top of the draft is about the competition they've played. The scouts love them some world junior competition and they love them some major junior competition. They are also looking for a single specific trait that will make them successful in the NHL. Boeser had the release, Schmaltz had the vision, Parise had the engine, Toews had the mind and compete, Osh had the "wow" factor. The fact Pinto rocketed up the draft says a ton about how the scouts started to see his upside. I'm excited about this year...I think we might actually see some Sioux hockey again! 3 Quote

Yes. If he doesn't want to be here, so be it. We pulled his offer. He didn't bail. Kid fell from the 4th-ranked NA goaltender to undrafted. I'm not sure there's much to worry about, here. Good luck to him. Would be fun to light him up, one day Quote

Its one thing to lose a recruiting battle but recruited players is another. Maybe these guys weren't UND type guys, maybe they weren't Berry type guys, but Im one more lackluster season away from saying the next decommit is from BEHIND the bench. People aren't going to miss the two players that went to Wisconsin. I'm willing to take that to the bank. WE pulled the scholly from Rowe, by the way. Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Actually UND agreed to release Rowe from his letter of intent. The "rumor" is that was in relation to an interest in London. We dont know if the player requested the release or UND initiated. But, Correct. If he doesn't want to be here and compete with 2 good tendies, so be it. I do think he will be a very good goalie at the NCAA level, and beyond. Quote

"At the same time that they were worried that I wasn't fully committed to them, I was worried that they weren't fully committed to me, either," Rowe said. "It was a mix, back and forth. Ultimately, it was better for us to part ways." That doesn't make any sense. UND got wind that he was sniffing about going to MJ...it should be easy to understand why they were worried. UND wasn't going to pull his NLI if he hadn't gone searching for MJ options. Either way, I think we're set in net for a few years, so all is good. Quote

Does he want us to remove any competition he would have in Scheel or Thome? He probably understands what he looks like when he commits a couple times and is still looking, and wants to make it look like it was mutual this time around. Quote

I think he saw Thome and more so Scheel being the guys and in reality it probably was best for all parties to explore different directions. Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 "In the course of discussing his oral commitment to the University of Wisconsin men's hockey team, Cameron Rowe had to clear up two things, one about his past and one about his future." I'm no Engrish major but would a "verbal" commitment be a better nomenclature???..... Or is this where we discuss the lengths he will gonro fit in to the locker room in Madison????? Not that there's anything wrong with that....... Quote
AJS Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Re Rowe: UND not being fully committed. If Rowe meant he didn't know if UND was fully committed to bringing him in next year, then yes, I could see that as a valid concern for him. Who knows what this year will bring and you never know with goalies, but I would say it's a valid concern (for him) that neither Scheel or Thome will leave after this year and he gets pushed back another year. I wish Rowe the best. He's definitely a wild card right now. Because he played at the NTDP, it's easy to compare him to Scheel. Both had mediocre numbers there. Obviously Scheel had a phenomenal year in Juniors after and we all saw what he did last year. We'll see about Rowe. He could go the Scheel route, but we'll see. Looking at his Elite Prospects page, his best season was .900 SV%. Quote

Agreed...but he is going to Des Moines and he is going to Wisco. He went to London's summer camp and I'm guessing that rubbed Berry the wrong way. Quote

yzerman19 Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 My kid just was up in Toronto for an evaluation camp. I found it interesting how they evaluated players. Through a bunch of drills, and one scrimmage. They evaluated many aspects of skating, puck skills, and hockey sense (including work ethic and drive). They had like 6 or 7 specific elements under each of those buckets, then they had a five point scale, with the middle being "Average= no separation from peers" on the far end of success was "Elite= excels at a truly elite level", between those scores on the success side was "Very Good= point of strength relative to peers"...The other side was for gaps. When they evaluate players at the highest levels, the coach said they want to see mostly very goods, they can live with a couple averages, but they really want to see at least one ELITE and nothing below average. I thought this made sense and gave me a lens into Hockey Canada. 1 Quote

Hopefully he and Ausmus can rip it up and garner some honors in the process, warranting their early recruitment. Also looking forward to seeing Luke Bast in the USHL. Might have to get to Fargo to watch Waterloo with him, Montgomery, and Ness. 1 Quote

Driving a little over an hour to Moorhead seems a bit daunting to GF folks. I live in southern CA. My drive to practice for my son is typically 1 hr 15 minutes. Can vary between 45 mins and 2 hrs, but generally 1 hr 15 mins....that’s each way. 2.5 hours in the car for 1 hour on the ice. There are closer options, but not for AAA skill level. Quote
