I agree but I've certainly learned to trust Jax and Chyz even though it always sucks to hear nothing at the start of a recruiting cycle. One thing I harpen back to is that one year ago this time, no one was even mentioning the Rucks as top flight recruits and look what happened 9 months later. But I do think we are very targeted on who we go after and  I would imagine that list is Schultz, Pue, England, Thompson, Cripps. 

I believe Kayden Stroeder is a target as well

I know we're getting great players, but this west canada pipeline has me a bit uneasy

Nice I liked basically that whole Hlinka Canadian team. Is Jonah Neuenschwander college eligible? I wonder if we would target him? I know there were rumors of Chyz going after some of the Swedes (Command) last cycle but obviously not working out.

That guy's name wouldn't fit on a jersey.

Based on Neuenschwander playing pro already the past 2 years in the Swiss league I'd lean towards it being very likely he just plays pro in the Swiss league then jumps to directly to the NHL. Euro players actually have a nice development option for pro leagues so in general they probably have to be swayed by other factors to jump to the NCAA. (college lifestyle, getting to live in the US, etc are more what you probably have to sell those players on I'd imagine)

Ok thanks. That was pretty much what I was asking as most of the Euros seem to play pro in their native country before coming over so wasn't sure if he would even be eligible (which is obviously a whole other can of worms).

Good call, your hunch came to fruition less than 12 hours later.

I have a feeling this wasn't what scpa had in mind?
