Helleson then Benoit then Tracey or Warren or Luneau.

 

[FiveHoleTickler]

Maybe 4th time will be a charm for me? Helleson again.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Luneau, clang next

I wonder when Sam Colangelo starts getting some love. Finally healthy in his short two-year NCAA career, Colangelo was nearly a point per game player as he scored 27 points in 29 games and finished second on the team in scoring. He needs to stay healthy so his development can be consistent.

I think lopina is overlooked. He profiles to me as a defensive matchup player who will be an important fixture on the PK.

He was quite invisible when I saw him

He is money on faceoffs. We will be pretty bad this year at that, so I wonder if he could have an outside shot for a cup of coffee. It would be crazy, but who knows

He was quite invisible when I saw him [Colangelo]

When did you see him?

He was injured in his D+1 season (played only 8 games) and the early part of his D+2 season (played in 29 games). Here's a year end review for this past season from North Eastern Hockey Blog:

Sam Colangelo broke out in his second collegiate season, putting up 27 points (12 goals) in 29 games, showing to fans the skillset that made him such a coveted recruit and high NHL Draft selection. Colangelo, with his 6’2″ frame, showed elite ability to keep the puck on his stick and get off an NHL-caliber shot. Assuming Colangelo returns for his junior season, he will pair with McDonough to form one of the best high-end scoring combinations in the entire NCAA. McDonough and Colangelo will be joined on the wings by returnees like speedy sniper Gunnarwolfe Fontaine, who improved both his goal scoring and overall point production over the season.​

I feel like Colangelo will get a bigger look this year - especially with Verbeek saying he's been having a bigger eye on the guys in college. His size and ability is the type of player Verbeek wants

Some random games here and there.

He seemed to be coasting a bit and waiting for someone to do the dirty work for him which I didn't like.

I certainly am no expert or have seen enough of him tho.

Went with Luneau but I almost went Colangelo, he'll be next. Not that i've been impressed with his development so far, but I always considered him a long term power forward. He could be valuable if he continues to grow into his body and learns how to use it to his advantage.
