Studenic secondary assist.

 

[Lou is God]

Don't know what to make of Studenic except god damn he is streaky, at the start of the year he had just one assist in first seven games, in December there was six game period where he had two assists, in Jan-Feb there was nine games he had just an assist and in March he went pointless for four games.

It's only his second year but Studenic was well under a P/G. Seems like he has multi-point games though. His line bounces from first to third to second etc., so I don't know if it's a quality of competition issue. Tonight's lines weren't posted.

Watched the Steelhead game on DVR. Everything said about Mike McLeod is true. The good the bad the ugly was all on display. In my unprofessional view he probably needs a situational awareness coach more than anything.

I thought his brother looked significantly more impressive.

And yes, I agree. He has physical tools, but his hockey sense looks worse than Wood in his rookie season. When I watch him, I seriously question his NHL potential. Not physically, but mentally. I love the speed, I love the tools, but am seriously concerned about the mind. He has time, but things don't seem to be getting better as time goes by.

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

What we know is that the following 11 teams have already sealed at-large bids at least:

1. St. Cloud State
2. Notre Dame
3. Ohio State
4. Cornell
5. Denver
6. Minnesota State
7. Providence
8. Clarkson
9. Michigan
10. Northeastern
11. Penn State

The 15th and 16th slot will be taken by autobids in the WCHA and Atlantic Hockey. That means three slots are up for grabs.

15. Michigan Tech
16. Air Force

If both Princeton and BU win, then they take the 14th and 13th slot. And that would then affect another team — either Minnesota or Minnesota-Duluth.

13. BU
14. Princeton

I could see him looking better with better players that make it easier for him with better positioning and asking him to only be complimentary not a play driver

McLeod lacks hockey sense...who would have known. McLeod needs to spend 8 hours a day shooting pucks because scoring off the rush will be his only offensive niche, he won't be a PP guy.

Trade him now while perceived stock is high?

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Reilly Walsh improving his skating will go a long way turning him into a top 100 prospect. He needs to be explosive on the back end with his skillset. 4 goals and 4 assist in last 8 games was impressive.

I don't think many teams like him after this season...last summer his stock was high.

Yet Castron suggested Team Canada use him in that role at the WJC. He sees skill in him beyond just being big strong fast and taking faceoffs. You see him more than most of us but so does Castron. At this point all we can do is hope for the best which to me is PZ taking the reins as a 2C next season and McLeod eventually replacing Zajac as an up and down the lineup center.

Yeah, he's had a terrible season

The thing is he has the work ethic and the raw tools you like to see -- same can be said about Wood. So with guys like him, you hope that you can coach and develop him to reach his potential.

I still think McLeod is going to be a valuable part of this team, it's just about what role he ends up in. Does he play a Callahan role? Does he play a Kesler role? Or does he bottom out as a Coleman?

It's going to be interesting how he adjusts to a more structured pro game where he can't just skate around everybody.

I may take BC over Callahan now.

Obviously but Callahan was a very good 2RW for a while.

My whole point was McLeod has the ability to play a variety of roles. Just on his tools alone, there's a good chance he ends up a valuable player. Maybe not a scoring dynamo, but a guy that sets the tempo and plays hard.

 

[Mike27Devils]

Mcleod's hockey sense is much better than Wood's. He's a lot more dynamic than wood as he's a very good playmaker and also is obviously a center. He'll be much more valuable than wood in the future. I don't think they are comparable players other than they both can skate very fast. Mcleod is being underrated on here for sure.
