Time to Retool... again...
Going to Northeastern next year... following footsteps of Gaudette and Madden.
This is a Judd Brackett special Big LW. from Cape Cod Whalers.
right in Brackett hometown. best friends with Jack Rathbone

Good intel - Northeastern seems to have had a good program for the past few years, hopefully he’s able to thrive there.
Yep, lifelong pals with Jack Rathbone....of course Rathbone isn't signed yet and McDonough has to considered a bit of a wildcard in earning a contract, unless he lights it up at Northeastern. But probably increases the odds of the Canucks eventually signing both.
Old, low-producing USHL guy is superficially not encouraging but will give Brackett the benefit of the doubt here. Did have a strong finish to the season - 36 points in his last 32 games - and a strong playoffs.

i want the bartkowski thread back
This is a really interesting pick when you look at his developmental curve.
Was only 5'8" at age 16 then seemed to have quite a growth spurt. Seems to have transitioned from High School to the USHL pretty seamlessly and his rate of production got better as the season went on.
I watch plenty of Northeastern anyways, so I'll definitely have the chance to see him play lots next season.

Walk It Like I Tocchet
Just stat watching but he started slow but then got bumped to Madden's line and has 3G 5A 8P in 10GP (including the 2 assists from tonight). Need to keep in mind he's 3 days older than Madden.
Interesting stuff but well over 80% of our 7th rounders didn't even ever have interesting minor league careers, probably more than that.
Dixon Ward (88) and Doug Lidster (80) are the best 7th rounders in Canuck history the 3rd best is.....Jason King and Brandon Reid....yikes.

McDonough with a three point effort tonight on a line with Madden at Northeastern....How does Brackett do it? Does anyone else wonder why another NHL team in the States hasn't poached him by now.

Well there are only 31 NHL Director of amateur scouting positions and Brackett occupies one of them. Despite "rumours" being spread about there being a rift between Benning and Brackett they are unsubstantiated rumours. It's a cushy job and Brackett has been working for the Canucks for over 10 years. I wonder what Brackett and his USHL scouts thought of Caufield and Boldy. Caulfield has had a seamless transition while Boldy appears to be struggling to adjust to the college game.
Anyhow, McDonough is looking like a solid bottom 6 forward prospect that is badly needed in this organization (especially if Lockwood doesn't sign here)
