[AmericanDream]

We already knew this.

Powers just tweeted it out, thought it was newsworthy

I'm just saying we've already known that he was going back. We've talked about it in various threads the last two weeks.

Not a big surprise even when it was first being mentioned a couple of weeks back. He could use another year there, I think.

The surprise, at least for me, in the the Powers write-up is that "Barratt will be out 2-3 months after undergoing an undisclosed surgery, but will be ready to play by next season".

Might keep him out of prospect camp.

Tough crowd.

The injury made the decision real easy. And, yeah, up until Powers' article, Barratt's injury was not disclosed. Still don't know the nature of the injury.

Injury must have happened during the U20 otherwise they would not have selected him.

I do remember Barratt taking a pretty rough hit after the WJC, not sure what game but it could have been that. Either way he dipped in the second half of the season but STILL had a massive year..I believe he can be in the running for a Hobey Baker, so can Mitchell - pretty f***ing sweet if both of them are in the top 10 finalists for the Hobey and Turcotte is rookie of the year at Wisconsin lol...

Turcotte going to be paired with Caufield. UW will have an incredible freshman class next year.

Dylan Holloway and Ryder Donovan are going to UW as well. Should be a good team.

it is a stellar class coming next year- though Holloway is 2 years away I believe..

He’s a late September, 2001 birthday. He’ll be playing at UW in 2019-20.

Nice. I love when top prospects are in the NCAA for their draft year. Really shows you what they can do.

yep, looks like you are right, not sure why I thought he wasn't going next year..oh well, either way, get ready for Wisconsin to dominate NCAA hockey again.

agreed, just like Quinn Hughes and Tkachuk.

it is odd for a top kid like him and Newhook coming from up North to play NCAA hockey...kind of like Jost and Fabbro did..

Probably because he’s not draft eligible till 2020. Point per game is hard for freshmen but if anyone could do it, it’s Turcotte and Caufield. If Holloway ends up on that line with them, look out rest of the NCAA. I’m most interested to see how many goals Caufield has his freshman year. Wahlstrom only had 8 goals his freshman year and I was very high on him in the 2018 draft. Caufield is the better goal scorer though so I think he surpasses that total.

They should be a force, for sure.
