waiting for scouts to start recognizing him....

Good skill
good IQ

projection 2-3 rd round

 

[Daneurism]

waiting for scouts to start recognizing him....

I mean, most non first round projected players just don't get attention on these boards. I'd also love if guys like Massimo Rizzo and Brett Budgell got more attention/viewings, but it probably won't happen until we're a couple months out from the draft.

 

[McMetal]

Players like this really will get buried under the avalanche of top talent in the NTDP this year as far as attention goes, at least in the mainstream. It's just inevitable, the storylines can't handle the strong depth in the program this year with the limited airtime.

I put up two videos on him yesterday if anyone's interested

Looked solid at ivan hlinka. I like the last name, it seemed like every American line had one or two Italians on it

 

[AmericanDream]

played the past 2 games with the USNDP, not sure if he is staying full-time or just until Dexter starts up

He was just filling in at the USHL Fall Classic due to a few forwards out of the lineup. He's playing for Dexter and Muskegon this year.

I don't know how to edit the title, to remove USDP and put Dexter. If anyone knows.

On the right hand side of the page, their is something called Thread Tools which I assume only OP and Mods have access to. It is right next to Watch Thread and Ignore Thread. Click that, and their should be an option to edit the title.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Top-rated HS prospect, no?

John Farinacci Scouting Report: 2019 NHL Draft #67

 

[MMC]

Welcome to Arizona!

 

[William H Bonney]

He didn't really build on his impressive Hlinka tournament but he battled injuries this year and when you decide to play New England prep hockey in your draft year again instead of heading to the USHL, it's going to be tough to stand out.

He's a really good value pick in the 3rd though. He'll need to develop his offensive game but if he can do that, he has a chance to be a really nice #3C in the league.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I feel like he's been the second best center on the American team, and the best of the players who are playing in the bottom 6. He's been a big part of the PK, good on draws, and chipping in a respectable amount of offense with 2G+2A=4 in 4 games without a PP role. He also had a respectable freshman season at Harvard with 22 points in 31 games. His skating could use a little improvement and he's not flashy, but I think he profiles well as a bottom 6 center, likely a 3C.

 

[De Montreal]

He's making a name for himself.

Ted Donato is his uncle. I like Farinacci as a player but he is getting the Ryan Donato favoritism in NHL because of family ties. We see what he makes of his time in Boston.
