[EXTRAS]

This is a last summer conversation, he is no longer under Stars control.

He's 7th in WHL scoring. I wonder if he gets a contract somewhere.

Might get an AHL deal next year. Not good enough for NHL contract.

Considering it's like his 9th season in the WHL, I would hope he'd be top 10. Dude has children as old as some of the guys he plays against

Congrats on the sex, Connor.

Since it looks like we're keeping our 1st, here's my pick for the boy draft at the sphere -

Terik Parascak at eliteprospects.com

Eliteprospects.com hockey player profile of Terik Parascak, 2006-05-28 Lethbridge, AB, CAN Canada. Most recently in the WHL with Prince George Cougars. Complete player biography and stats.

He probably won't make it to the last pick of the 1st round though

I hope the Stars have a really good draft. I don't know much about last years draft, but none of the prospects seem that great. Can someone more in tune with the prospects give a recap or one of those prospect pyramids or something?

Idk I'm pretty lazy rn but word is that the draft drops off big time after 20 (we've heard this before). I'd really like to see us draft a natural wing like Parascak, but his stock is probably climbing. Who knows what will happen with Kiviharju. Talented defender who was projected to be a high pick years ago but has struggled in the Liiga against men and has injury concerns for sure. Part of me wonders if Nill/McDonnell will look for another D-man to replace Grushnikov and we have no 2nd.

I like Alexandre Blais a lot too. We basically have no picks in this draft though so I don't expect for us to draft anyone I know lol.

I'll put Cole Beaudoin down too. A lot of lists have him too low imo but if he's in that range, I could see Dallas picking him

Angus being greasy

 

[TangoMcBride]

Angus?

Another 2nd round gem from Joey McD!@!@!

Hope he doesn't plan on wearing #12 in the show though cause it's going to the rafters

 

[Satan]

Ertel

 

[Kipper 17]

Ertel

The rage we will get to witness from certain posters makes this signing worth it.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Nice move by Nill to support Joey Macs family friend. Gotta reward Joey Mac for all his draft hits lately by signing a dud he drafted.

Came here to see what @MrHeiskanen posted about the signing lol

I mean, its the only explanation that makes sense.

Conner Roulette, you can walk. Mr. Ertel.. here is an NHL deal! Very curious decision making.

Oh I don’t disagree. I just know it gets on your nerves lol

 

[serp]

Well this one is unexpected.

 

[piqued]

Pretty sure this franchise just got incredibly lucky and isn't actually run by smart people

 

[Elysian]

Who?

 

[Henderson33]

Nill signed a deal with the Devil.

We got Wyatt and Stank but were forced to draft and keep Ertel's career alive by any means necessary.

 

[Smelling Salt]

I predict an Adam Mascherin-like career trajectory

 

[Smelling Salt]

Also, how does a guy that's 6'2" and turns 21 in 2 months not dominate the OHL? He's barely a point a game and 4th on his team in points.

 

[SpezzaNoLookDropPass]

Outsider here that gets to watch Ertel live. Wouldn't have expected him to sign a deal at the end of last season despite his teams success. However he has brought his game to the next level this season. Vital part of the team's success. Been a key member on the PK, great on the back, had a great play this past Sunday where he hustled back and stripped the puck without taking a penalty and sent it up the ice. Much more physical this year, will hit but not a fighter. Only thing that drives me insane is he takes a lot of stickwork penalties slash/hook.

He plays 3rd line minutes on a very stacked team. Top line of the team has 3 kids that have been paired together for their major junior career, easily in the talks for the top line in junior hockey. 2nd line has also clicked at an incredible pace for the team with Florida prospect Sandis Vilmanis scoring at a goal per game rate since that line was formed. That leaves Ertel on the 3rd line with 2 06 born players. One of them being a 5'7 agitator that's has plenty of a skill of course and younger developing power forward. Mentioned previously also a vital member on the PK. Guy's worked hard and his game has improved dramatically
