Prospective Recruits

Anyone know anything about these two, Sammy Walker (Edina) and Isaac Johnson (Anoka).

I believe Walkers brother Jack who is a 96' has been playing with Victoria in the WHL for the last 3 years. Possible he would be headed that way too.

Walker was a solid player when watching Edina in the state tournament this year but I was more impressed with the other freshman on the roster defenseman Clayton Phillips he is definitely a guy I hope ends up at UND.

Vlad Dzhioshvili (Russian) commits to Cornell, would have like to land him at UND.

I know who wouldn't have wanted that name at UND......Hammer -

Penticton Vees blow out another AJHL team, this time Fort McMurray Oil Barons 6-0. Jost had 2 goals and Fabbro had a goal and an assist. Taylor Ward did not play I do think he might get in against the next two opponents Portage Terriers and Melfort Mustangs.

Matthews with a goal for the US mens team at the Worlds.  He has to be the youngest guy in the tourney I'm guessing.  This kid has a bright future.  I don't remember anyone playing for their world team (any country) one full year before their draft year.

Riley Simpson had a goal for Spruce Grove Saints in a 4-3 overtime loss to Melford Mustangs at the WCC.

Dayton Rasmussen Colorado Tunderbirds U16 goalie committed to Denver.

[SiouxScore]

Dayton Rasmussen Colorado Tunderbirds U16 goalie committed to Denver.

Really liked him probably only behind Jake Oettinger for me for potential goalie recruits.

[The Sicatoka]

Not a potential recruit by any means, but what a playoff series (future Edmonton Oiler Connor McDavid) is having: 13 points in 4 games. 

[SiouxForever]

As April is coming to an end, I really think Austin Matthews is going to go the Major Junior route. With him scoring a goal in the Worlds (even though it was an exhibition game) I think he is headed MJ.

 

If he does decide to go the college hockey route, I don't see UND landing him. I foresee some Boston school getting him for some odd reason. He will be better than Eichel as he is more of a power forward and really is a special player.

 

If Hak could land him, UND's team next year would be something special. N. Schmaltz, Bossers, Gerish, Drake + Matthews? That would be incredible. However, wishing on limb...

If it seems to good to be true it probly is

Do the Oilers have the 2nd or 3rd pick, i cant remember. I think Buffalo has the 1st. I think which ever team drafts Eickel, im rooting against

Yes I think it MJ route.....but

He is still pushing forward with his education so...maybe....

Just think if Eichel came back a year and Mathews went to BU...

The Neverending blaring Bostongasms would be intense from the media, but a win for college hockey...I guess.

Edmonton has the 1st pick this year and for the forseeable future.

Oilers #1

Buffalo #2

Oilers have the #1 pick overall this year, Buffalo has the #2 pick.

Oilers 1st

Buffalo 2nd

Arizona 3rd

Toronto 4th

[The Sicatoka]

The Oilers pick first, thus is why I said ... 

 

... future Edmonton Oiler Connor McDavid ... 

 

McDavid is the top available player in this draft. That's not disrespecting Eichel; it's reality. 

[Shawn-O]

McDavid is the top available player in this the last 10 drafts. That's not disrespecting Eichel; it's reality. 

 

FYP. 

[The Sicatoka]

You're saying he's better than Patrick Kane, Steve Stamkos, John Tavares; better than everyone since Crosby (and Ovechkin the year before that). He's good, but until he's in the NHL he's not better than Kane, Stamkos, and Tavares. But I can live with better than everyone after (starting with Taylor/Tyler).

Yes. At least that's what everyone is saying. Coming McDavid at this draft year with all those players at their draft year, all the pundits think so.

I don't think anyone said or meant to imply that he's better than those players right now.

But the general consensus from literally everything I've heard is that he's the top NHL prospect in the last decade.
