Prospective Recruits

[InHeavenThereIsNoBeer]

As I've stated previously, I skated with some guys who knew his cousin (mentor) quite well and it was known that he did not want to play here in the Cities.  Obviously you have to take that with a grain of salt as he is only a young kid and he has already decommited once.  I remember that age, your mind can flip every other day.  I think we have a good shot at him, if indeed the rumors are true that we are in the running.  If he were going Minny, you think he would have said so by now.  He's always here and he plays on a line with those guys....why take so long? 

 

As far as Matthews, he's another guy who I think will stay state-side.  He's seeing what Eichel is doing and it won't hurt Eichel's draft stock.  I do think he'll end up at BC or BU though.  Imagine if, for whatever reason, Eichel doesn't leave?  Those two would dominate.  However, he could being interested in playing with Schmaltz.  Elite goal scorers like to play with elite playmakers.

Eichel could leave today if it was so possible. Better Chance of seeing saskwatch drinking home brew whiskey with Santa Claus than Mathews and Eichel together at BU.

Very true.  I agree with that. 

[scpa0305]

Haha, I think so.  I love that movie.

As noted in comm thread due to Gersich

"A big fan of J. Toews"....hmmmm.......

[AZSIOUX]

Wonder when he decides. This is a big one. He schmaltz and Gersich could be pretty unreal as well as cags. Hope the az connection and the Toews admiration helps a little

@mikemorrealeNHL: Possible No. 1 pick in the 2016 NHL Draft Auston Matthews narrows college choice to five schools: BC, BU, Michigan, Denver and UND.

No kidding. Everyone knows Sasquatch is a wine connoisseur.

Watching the CAN East vs CAN West game.  Fabbro is the most noticeable player on the ice other than CAN East's goalie.  Fabbro is an elite skater.

And he's got a really cool last name!

He reminds me of former Sioux great Derek Faul.

Sounds like it's just a matter of time before Boeser commits to Minny. I think playing with Novak and Sheehy moving forward is going to be too much for him to pass up. Sounds like they had a nice tourney this past week.

I would rather have Nick Schmaltz setting me up to help my draft status, but if he already has a friendship and chemistry with them, I certainly can see why he would choose that route.

I thought he was in the 2015 draft class?

I think you're right, it's Auston Matthews that is a year away.  I would say Boeser will probably want to play with those linemates,

Rumor has it that Nick Schmaltz is on the wing with Auston Matthews at center tonight for the USA U20 exhibition v. Sweden.
