“That’s a very interesting one, a right-handed shooting defenseman who hasn’t really done anything yet but has lots of upside,†said Thompson. “The big thing for Stewart is that he just got a scholarship to an NCAA school (Nebraska-Omaha). That gives whoever takes him in the draft, four more years to let him develop. He has the tools. I think he’s a candidate for the late part of the draft.â€

Nebraska Omaha recruit? What?

 

[ScJeff]

Good hard working guy. Love this pick for you guys. He has the talent. I am from Portage so maybe I am biased but I can see him really growing in NCAA.

I doubt that.

I'd guess he either tweaked his analytics categories to get new data points, or he went "all-in" on analytic results (no other factors).

D is D is D, we'll just have to wait and see....

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

Interesting, I mean, at least some real scouting had to have come into play with this pick

 

[Flyotes]

Good pick. Has a lot of skill just needs to fill out more. Let him play in college and bulk up. His base skills are solid.

Nebraska Omaha recruit? What?
