It seems to me there isn't much discussion on this kid. Why is that? He's absolutely tearing up the college game. He's 6'2", and he's only 21.

JasonMacIsaac said:He plays with Parise, that knocks his numbers way up.
He may end up being a decent NHL'er but I have my doubts.
Bochenski put up 47G and 33A in 55 games the year before joining the NCAA. (In the USHL).JasonMacIsaac said:I doubt that, Parise has allways put up huge numbers everywhere he has played, WJC, under 18, and in college, Brandon was close to ppg without Parise, now he gets over 60 points.
The question isn't if Bochenski is better than Parise, but so far this year it is clear that he's making things happen for himself.JasonMacIsaac said:Tanguay is outscoring Forsberg, we all know who the better play is, same case, Zach isn't getting all the breaks.
Voodoo Daddy said:Little known fact is that he would have gone much higher in the draft had he not been caught printing his own money.
JasonMacIsaac said:Well if the ottawa fan stated Bradon is inflating Zach's numbers thats what I thought the case was about. I still think Parise is the engine of the line.
AJ1982 said:I've said it before and I'll say it again. Bochenski doesn't get enough respect, outside of the WCHA that is, as being a quality player. That said, Parise is the best spark plug on that line. He creates space for both Murray and Bochenski.

I have season tix to North Dakota hockey. Parise is a BIG reason Bochenski got 35 goals last year, and is leading in scoring this year. But not the ONLY reason. Bochenski had a decent freshman season (before Parise), but they play very well together, so it's only natural to keep them together.
I think Bochenski will get noticed more and more as the season progresses, and could be a good 2nd or 3rd line goal scorer for some team in a few years.
