O'Neill will probably end up at ASU

Reports yesterday were that Augustana & St. Thomas reached out to him.

It’s a projection from a year out, not a line chart set in stone. Like we’ve already seen this year Kernan, Zakreski, Ollie, etc can all play up and down the lineup. 
 

They’re losing 1 center and 1/2 wings that have played in the top 6 for a majority of this year so naturally I left those 2 spots open. The 2 guys they may bring in could fill those spots or even play bottom 6 none of us now how it will shake out 
 

I enjoy and appreciate watching an effective 3rd and 4th lines just as much as a highly skilled line. That’s the beauty in hockey, there are many different ways to go about putting the puck in the net

Which begs the question ... the final roster for 26-27 probably won't be announced until early July sometime, after the NHL draft. Not sure when previous years' rosters came out.

Ludovic Perreault really looks like he should be in the conversation for the future.  Very dynamic goal against Vancouver.  Nice to see Preston and Lin playing again for Vancouver. A lot of skill and speed with those 3 guys, and McKamey looks to be more comfortable and finding his game.

From a playmaking sense, Schmaltz is better. Better hands, better vision. With that said, Kernan has a better shot and is a better finisher, IMO.

I think 2C next year is where he absolutely should be, assuming he's developing in the offseason and takes a good jump in progression.

I think he can play second line, it just depends on linemates. For example, if we landed the Ruck twins, Kernan would be a perfect fit on a second line with them. I just don’t know that he has the offensive skills to drive his own line as a sophomore
