He is a 5 year stash player.
Going to BCHL next year and then U Mass after that.
Military school kid, so not surprising he tested extremely well at the combine.

5 year stash? Count me in. Always the chance he doesn't sign with us but him coming into a good situation in 5 years is very believable.

Kind of understand these lottery tickects, where you buy very much development time.
Guys drafted from Canadian CHL ? You have to sign them on ELC in 2 years, or you lose the player rights. And all are still developing and you should force them to GR etc. Still struggling against men. If they pan out from taht route, they are still too young to NHL, but the salary raises come in to play. That's a bad formula. You have to hit big if getting CHL defenceman, or avoid them totally, imo.
But long-shot lower-round players going to college, there's those longer lasting rights. And if the player will pan out, you get a cheap late bloomer, which takes his cheap ELC starting not until he is what, 23-24 year old ? That's a good deal. If there's no free roster spots at Red Wings defence, someone in cap hell will trade after these projects.
Those kind of possible cheap add-ons help on the era if you are a contender. You are starting to go against the cap, thanks to success, and this kind of possible cheap guys could help on your 3rd pair or something to enter in. You don't have to pay 3-4M for a 3rd pair defencer.
You just need to draft multiple ones (like Wings did) and then only one has to hit. It's very very long-term-sighted building.

Lol, there are a lot of hockey players who’s dad or grandpa or uncle played hockey.
The Tkachuk family is terrible at hockey. Can't win meaningful games with all that bloodline.
