The Chicago Steel had an outstanding season. Led by Sean Farrell, Matthew Coronato, Josh Doan, Erik Middendorf, and Ryan Ufko, the Steel had a very talented roster. They dominated the USHL and won the Clark Cup. One prospect who flew under the radar on the squad was Mackie Samoskevich (sometimes listed as Matthew Samoskevich). Playing mainly a middle-six role, and serving as an alternate captain, Samoskevich put up 13 goals and 24 assists for 37 points in 36 regular-season games. He also added one goal and nine assists for 10 points in the eight playoff games during the Steel’s run to the Championship.

Samoskevich played prep school hockey at the famous Shattuck-St. Mary’s program. He was drafted in the fourth round, 63rd overall, in the 2018 USHL Futures Draft. However, Samoskevich didn’t see significant USHL playing time until 2019. In 2019-20 Samoskevich scored 13 goals and 34 points in 41 games with the Steel. He also scored one goal in four games for Team USA at the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup. Samoskevich committed to join the University of Michigan for the 2021-22 season. His sister, Melissa Samoskevich, is a top young player in the NWHL.

No lol, but I like him more than Raty at this spot. Samoskevich is pure skill. His nickname in Chicago is The Stingray.

Highly skilled winger, dangles for days type player. Very high offensive upside but also a lower floor than some and higher bust potential. Very creative offensive talent, similar to Kent Johnson but just not as tall or mature. This is a pure skill type player, he's gonna need some development and a lot of work on his defensive game.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

Where’s our defense?

 

[FinlandPanther]

this feels like borgstrom....

Borgstrom was ranked nowhere near the first round

 

[Gentle Man]

Hire Tallon.

Actually I don't care lol.
