scpa0305 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Unless I'm misremembering, Miller committed, got drafted into the NHL, then left for the CHL that summer basically right before he was expected on campus. Correct, however, I do wish he would have came here for a year. Either way, I heard from a reliable source (kid who played with him on the NTDP) who noted Miller was telling everyone at camp that he would decommit if he was given a good deal ($$$). Either way, the kid was a one and done player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, the kid was a one and done player. And according to salary cap records, he got a rookie max deal that summer...pretty tough to turn down. He played half the season in the show this year too... max signing bonus with Rangers ($275k) and a year in the OHL for 2011-2012 $70k for half a year playing in the AHL and $833k for half a year playing in the NHL ($925k less $92K signing) so $452k Total comp last two years ballpark $725k alternatively he could've been living the dream in GF and being a kid for a couple years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet I was 169 lbs as a freshman or sophomore....in high school. He's going to be here for a few years beefing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 NHL Central Scouting's Final Rankings of North American Skaters 42 - Adam Tambellini 53 - Keaton Thompson 96 - Luke Johnson Of note: Gage Ausmus (148) Very solid class. Guessing Ausmus is drafted as well. Wonder if tambelini will keep moving up with his season and playoff performaces? All it takes is one team. Add Ladue who was a late LA pick last year. Funny how recruiting cycles work out locally. 6-9 North Dakota/minny kids on their way to Grand Forks in the next 2 seasons from basically none (besides Zane) in last handful of seasons.

ChetSteadman Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Compare those numbers to these. M. Reilly- 51games- 24g,59a- 83 points J. LaLeggia- 58games- 20g,62a-82 points Whats all the hype about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChetSteadman Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Reilly played for a team that lost like 2 games for starters. Stecher was on that same team. This is his third year with them. Last year on that dominant team he put up 5g,37a in 53 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a solid defender that won an award. The coaches voted him in so they must have seen something. There's more to playing D than simply putting up points. And the guys you mentioned probably would have won the award if there was one....this is the first year of the awards existence I believe.

UND99 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 So, is that 2 likely second rounders and a 4th rounder? No. European skaters and NA/Euro goaltenders ranked ahead of our recruits would result in them being pushed down the draft board relative to the ranking numbers you see. For example, there are probably 7-9 European skaters or goaltenders that will be selected in the first round this season. That would push Thompson's projection into third round territory.

AZSIOUX Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 So, is that 2 likely second rounders and a 4th rounder? Maybe but probably not that high in all cases as these are North American skaters. I believe there is a seperate European list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when he committed here everyone was talking about how great of an Offensive puck moving D-man he was. Doesn't really matter much, we'll find out when he gets here.

Doesn't really matter much, we'll find out when he gets here. Well Stecher's numbers are very good for a defenseman. LaLaggia's and Reilly's stats were extreme outliers, those kinds of numbers are rare. At the same age, in the BCHL, Stecher had almost identical numbers to Justin Schultz.

tnt Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2013/04/11_the_recruiting_trail_april.php Haven't seen anything on this Ben Ostlie, did he commit to UND? Nevermind, just went on the USHL site and it should have been Notre Dame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
