Just hoping Vancouver doesn't draft him.

I'd put money on them taking Malhotra (or another forward if McKenna or Stenberg fall).  Definitely have a headstart on the back end with Buium and Willander in terms of their rebuild.

For what it’s worth, Ryan Johnson is a UND alum and was just announced as Vancouvers new GM.

Could Lin or Fiddler decommit if Carle goes to the NHL? Toronto might finally have the offer he can't refuse.

True…but man, that franchise is in a rough spot. They may want to delay a year (maybe two) to continue to stack high enders. Would be a tough slot to be a dman next year. He’d be going for the green jacket for sure.

I agree with you. I had heard from an unreal source about 2 weeks ago that he was coming here…however that same source also noted that he’s the one def in this draft that could log some nhl games next year.

I too think he would have delayed this announcement if he was heavily leaning towards signing. 

I would be slightly nervous if the chatter of him signing right away continued after his commitment. As of today, he has decided to hold off until next spring to turn pro. I think he was weighing his options, including pro, over the last month or so and this was his decision. I think a lot changed once he actually got on campus.
