Prospect Info: 2021 Entry Draft #223 - Sam Lipkin (LW)

[rt]

It seems like turning pro makes sense in his particular situation. He’s 20 years old and can’t go back to the WJC, he’s playing for a pretty old college team that’s likely to lose much of its core and take a step back, and he’s already played a huge role on a championship team, winning the title and scoring a point per game. Plus he’s already very big and strong and mature. I just don’t see what another year of amateur hockey can do for him. I’m not sure why he’d even consider it.

Is he going back to University for a sophomore season next year? No talk of him joining Tucson?

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

I mean what does he really have left to prove in college aside from taking on a bigger offensive role. He could probably slot right into Tucson’s top 6.

What a pick

How does he compare to a McBain or a Smith? Talent, skating etc.

late bloomer but he looks to be right around the mark of Nathan Smith. Likely plays on 3rd/4th line. Big player so would pair nice with McBain in time. Played with Doan (and Fantilli) in Chicago. Watched a ton of him last year.

That's interesting.

Which one is line 1 and which one is line 4?

Probably one reason Sam is returning.

Part of the ask from the Flames?

Too early in the rebuild to be dealing our prospects.
I like Lipkin better than Jenik, Lutz or any other LW prospect so I would really like to hang on to him.

agreed, Lipkin would be ideal 4th/3rd liner...plays big, great defender and has some offense

Even better than our newest LW, Logan Cooley?

Ah, c'mon! We have 2 7ths in this years draft! All kidding aside, you've got to give to get and he is still in Hamden!

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

If he doesn't want to sign w/us then you definitely trade him...but Lipkin will be in the NHL and just seems to be a perfect fit for our "Big, Burly, Skilled" team.
