InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Jack Eichel has no business playing one more year of college hockey. He could be a 1 line center in the NHL. He will not play another year at BU. Just ain't gonna happen. However, N. Schmatlz will be playing another year at UND because the Blackhawks have too much depth. :-) You have to realize Jack Eichel and Connor McDavid are the best 1-2 punch since Ovie the great and Malkin. Both players are playing in the NHL next year. No matter what, no question. Just wait to see what these two do at the world juniors! Don't you think people thought the same thing about Johnny Toews in college though? He played 2 years of college... Also, Oshie had no business playing 3 years but he did. I remember Michigan Tech's coach saying that Oshie was a pro playing with college players, a man amongst boys and that he essentially had no business playing college hockey. He was one guy I remember going to games his Junior year and saying "Oshie took over that entire game and won it for us". Will Eichel most likely leave after this year? Yes, but I don't think it's guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I don't think it's guaranteed. No, I do not think the same on this. We knew Toews would be an NHL players, we didn't know he would turn out this good. In addition, he had to gain strength and muscle still. Jack Eichel is 6-2 195 can fly like the wind. He is ready. You can't teach his foot speed that he has. Toews did not have that asset, hence him building strength and consistency in playing one more year of college hockey. And yes, it is guaranteed. You haven't had a USA talent like this since Patrick Kane. Don't kid yourself. MacDavid and Eichel are rare talents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Eichel won't play another year in school. Also the only reason Toews played 2 years is because he came in at 17. If he comes in at 18 he's one and done. Let's hope nick schmaltz knows this guy! Or maybe there is a Arizona connection with st Clair who knows. He's big time and take these guys anytime they choose NCAA which is rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-RedSox fan Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Well Eichel just turned 18 two days ago, so he is pretty young as well. I don't think he will play a second year, but his situation seems to be pretty similar to Toews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you win, you can buy a beer at The Ralph(almost) and in the crazy chance I win, I can buy another seat to add to my season tickets.

FYI just because I was curious on your size argument, Toews was 6'2", 202 lbs starting his sophomore year of college so the size/strength argument is out. Also, Toews had insane foot speed too. I remember him absolutely walking around an oppossing defender and scoring before the guy could turn around. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=749631 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still needed to build up strength and consistency in college. He wasn't taking a beating... opposition and players were abusing and taking liberties on him. Just watch Jack Eichel skate once. No argument needed. Toews is no slouch though when it comes to his skating abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have his weight when he came into UND? I couldn't find it and I can't imagine he weighed a whole lot less than 195 lbs. I mean, I'd be surprised if he put on 20 lbs of muscle over the summer.

Toews and Oshie both had different body makeups from their freshman years to sophomore years. I was at UND living in Walsh as a freshie just like them. Oshie and Toews were fairly skinny in August of '05 and throughout that year. Yes, they both put on weight throughout their freshman year. For the record, Toews was not 6-2 from day 1 at UND too. He grew in his timeframe at UND too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Tech, I believe. Highlight reel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 CC I could watch this hit over and over again. I remember going to a Michigan Tech game where he knocked a guy out cold from a check a few minutes into the first period. He was a man amongst boys his Junior year and it was pretty obvious he would have no problem succeeding at the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Did anybody else know we had a McMiller skating for UND this year. Last weekend that's what the Fargo Failure went with on a breakaway....McMiller. ...you could tell he didn't really know what was going on and he just began murdering a name and then made one up.

tnt Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I see both Jost and Fabbro have been out of the Penticton lineup the last 2 games, anybody hear why? Some kind of tryout camp or international tourney or something? Perhaps college visits? Seem to have done well without them, 21 goals in two games.

jjensen Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Couple of potential's were on campus. Zach Heisinger a Winnipeg native forward playing for Winkler in the MJHL right now. He is a '95 so many just looking at him as a option if someone leaves. His Dad is the GM for the Jets AHL team. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=253373 And Andrew Peski a Defenseman from Ontario playing for, and a captain of, Brockville Braves in the CCHL. A '97 who looks to have some good potential. Heisenberg has him as the 5 best player in the Ontario/Eastern Canadian leagues. Tri-City drafted him in the 5th round this year would like to see what he can do in a better league. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=207364 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
