SIOUXELEVENS Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 They were at a point per game early,at least Bruneteau was but the last 6-7 games they have been very quiet. Hextall looks like he brings grit and some scoring and Lapoint and Trupp just keep racking up the points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA Hockey Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Just remember that USHL stats when comparing talent can be skewed sometimes. Remember that Bruneteau and Malone are 17 year olds and the USHL has many 19/20 year olds. For example, if you currently look at the top 5 scorers in the USHL, 4 of the 5 are at least 19 years old. This means that these kids have been in the league longer and have developed. Also, both of them are currently not playing on the best teams either.

Sioux_Hab-it Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The Central Scouting January result is available and Eidsness appears to be the top Sioux recruit at number 7 for North American goaltenders. Brad Malone is the top skater at #63 and is listed in the third round with Ben Blood #78. Bruneteau is listed in round six at #171. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=10901&hubname= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwing77 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 It looks like UW (Turris/McDonagh) and UM (White/Hoeffel) beat us again. We can't forget Lapoint, though. I guess. I'd rather have players that come in and do well at the college level. I could care less what CSS, ISS, RedLine, or whatever think. If Minnesota has the #1 recruiting class for the next 100 years, but the Sioux do better on the ice for the next 100 years when it matters compared to Minnesota, I'll take that. Michigan has had the #1 recruiting class for a long time (or so people say over and over and over again) and really, where has it gotten them? Have they done anything since 1998? Please, Wheeler was drafted 5th overall and I'm still not impressed with him. Duncan wasn't drafted at all and he's tearing up the joint. Take your pick.

If he merits that ranking on the ice, he should be one of the best goalie recruits for that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They better get used to playing against older guys because once they come to UND they will be 19 and 20 year olds playing against 23 and 24 year old players. If these guys are drafted high they won't still be with the Sioux when they turn 23 or 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THETRIOUXPER Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The funny thing is Duncan will be here for two more years adding to his career point totals. Meanwhile, poor Blake Wheeler will only have his millions he is earning in the NHL to console him. I hope he is able to live with himself knowing that he didn't have the NCAA stat's that Duncan did.

If these guys are drafted high they won't still be with the Sioux when they turn 23 or 24. Many guys when they first come to college don't have experience against older guys. Not being anti high school hockey here, but most high school guys don't have much experience competing against older guys when they first get here. That's one of the intents of the USHL is for some elite younger guys to play against older guys, they may not put up the best stats but they have that experience compared to high school guys. So when looking at the talent of the player and if they're going to make an immediate impact when they get here, I don't always feel that stats are the most important thing.

THETRIOUXPER Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 meam millions after he plays in the AHL for awhile..... I guess I just don't see any NHL team wasting a #5 overall pick in the AHL for a prolonged period of time. Honestly, wheeler would be stupid to even accept a deal like that. If you get drafted that high you do have some bargaining power I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagard Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Wheeler's not signing suprised me a lot. I have to believe he was not offered. I believe he is now subjected to the new CBA bonus limitations, but he may get a better chunk via a grandfather clause. No one is going to get rich playing hockey anymore unless they earn it at the NHL level. Doesn't matter who you are or where you were drafted if you can't stick with the big club.

However, I have to believe that a team would be a little more patient with a #5 overall draft pick then a player who was taken in the 2nd round or later. Therefore a guy like wheeler might be given the benefit of the doubt vs. a player drafted in the later rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on what you're definition of "get rich" is I suppose. If you're comparing them to other professional sports, then no, they won't get rich. But there are players in the AHL making more than 100,000 a year. Thats not too shabby in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxnami Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Even Trupp continues to play well: http://www.bchl.bc.ca/leagues/stats_1team....p;clientID=1413 Note the 4 SHG, clearly he has a little Stafford in him. Hextall hasn't scored much since early in the season. But has 1G, 1A in the last 2 games, the assist was on a Trupp goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
