College Hockey College Free Agent talk

[Fenian24]

Watched PC vs BC twice this weekend, once live the other on TV
Parker Ford was the best Friar, he was all over the ice, he's a must have

Nick Poisson impressed, quick,nice hands,crafty
Looks bigger than the 5'11 190 that he's listed as
He went to the Golden Knights Development Camp this past Summer

Jamie Englebert did ok, good size but I question his intensity level

Liam Valente I didn't even notice

Elsewhere

Might be time to move Hunter Mckown into the top 10

Matt Basgall and team had a tough weekend

I still think Umass Lowell's Carl Berglund would be a sneaky good get

Questions?

Your opinion on Ford's top end, Noel Accari or Max Domi?

Colorado College vs Nebraska 930pm on AT&T Sports Net Rocky Mountain

Also I'm working on rankings
D and Goalies are done
Forwards still a work in progress ,hopefully this weekend

 

[Saxon Eric]

For these rankings I started with 150+ undrafted College players,some are still draft eligible so I left them out of my rankings also I leaned heavily on players that have been in College for a few years
I ranked 13 D
10 Goalies
And will cut the forwards off at 20
With that..

Defenseman
1. Jake Livingstone 6'3 206 R Minnesota State
2. Jacob Bengtsson 6'3 203 L Lake Superior
3. Anton Malmstrom 6'4 203 L Bowling Green
4. Zak Galambos 6'2 190 R Western Michigan
5. Travis Mitchell 6'3 207 L Cornell
6. Zach Metsa 5'9 181 R Quinnipiac
7. Brendan Bushy 6'2 230 L St Cloud State
8. Spencer Meier 6'4 220 R St Cloud State
9. Justin Lee 6'0 195 L Denver
10. Akito Hirose 6'0 170 L Minnesota State
11. Bryan Yoon 6'1 180 R Colorado State
12. Derek Dascke 6'2 195 L Minnesota Duluth
13. Marek Korencik 6'4 213 L U Mass Lowell

Galambos will be 26
Dascke gets points but his +/- is questionable
Metsa has his detractors
Korencik plays both sides well, I like his game and think there's upside

Goalies later

Questions?

 

[Saxon Eric]

Hunter Mckown

Goalies
1. Yaniv Perets 6'1 180 Quinnipiac
2. Cam Rowe 6'3 203 Western Michigan
3. Gabriele Carriere 6'2 185 Vermont
4. Henry Welsch 6'2 200 U Mass Lowell
5. Gustav Davis Grigals 6'2 202 U Mass Lowell
6. Ryan Bischel 6'1 190 Notre Dame
7. Tommy Scarfone 6'0 175 RIT
8. Chad Veltri 5'11 187 Niagara
9. Blake Pietila 6'0 175 Michigan Tech
10. Liam Souliere 5'11 180 Penn State
11. Dylan St Cyr 5'8 170 Michigan State

1-6 Is pretty strong
7-11 is more organizational depth
Yes there are better goalies that I didn't list but I don't think they're turning pro this year,we'll see

Boston probably won't be involved in the looming Erik Portillo sweepstakes

Wow only one guy 6”3. Lots of shorter goalies. Interesting

Ryan McAllister leads the NCAA is scoring as a Freshman but I think he stays in school

Collin Graf I really like but is still draft eligible

Wilmer Skoog, heavy boots, disappointing production

Matt Kopperud, NHL shot,rest of his game is meh

Ondrej Psenicka massive 6'6 211 player but guys at Cornell generally stay in school

Louis Boudon is interesting

Max Sasson is having a great year but is it him or his line mates?

I like Cam Thiessen, maybe he leaves with Lorhei

Brendan Fury should be ranked so we'll give him #21

@Saxon Eric

If you had to pick 3 names for each position who you think Boston signs, who would it be?

Example:

F: Parker Ford, Wilmer Skoog, Carl Berglund


Not saying they sign every name you list but who would be your predictions at each. A little different than maybe your hopes?

Just judging from the past

G
Carriere, Rowe Grigals
F
Ford, Dornback Lebster

Watched Cornell vs BU yesterday
I'm guilty of sleeping on the Cornell guys...
I already knew about Travis Mitchell, the smooth skating, big,L shooting Dman that wears the C, he impressed
As did Max Andreyev 6'0 182 Center
Really liked Ondrej Psenicka,a massive 6'6 211 LW who moves particularly well for his size
But who really blew me away was Gabriel Seger, 6'4 216 Center, great hands and vision,skating looks good and plays with some jam

 

[bruinmann77]

i am sure DS will be on top of some of the Hotter FA

 

[Saxon Eric]

Higher end Loophole candidate's for August 2023
It's a good list assuming they don't sign with the team that drafted them

Jay O'Brien Center BU
Aden McDonough LW Northeastern
Jayden Struble Left D Northeastern
Ryan Johnson LD Minnesota
Erik Portillo G Michigan

Added Jackson Lacombe to this list
6'2 205 LD was Anaheim 2nd round pick in 2019

They'll be others too...
