Any idea on what round Brady is expected to be drafted? Wonder if nyr try to get berard bros.

Looks like he plays with Milan Hejduk's son, who is also set to be drafted in the middle rounds and is set to play for Harvard.

 

[egelband]

Uniting brothers is typically more fun in theory than in the actual results

Yeah. That’s well said. everyone defaults to that but I’m the end it’s kind of not a thing.

Unless you are Chicago last summer apparently, getting the Jones boys and Dach's younger brother.

 

[nyr2k2]

Vierling stays warm with 1+1 in the first period.

Ollas hasn't allowed a goal thus far.

Kjellberg has a goal.

 

[nyr2k2]

Ollas played great all night but crushingly allowed a goal with 9.6 seconds left to lose 1-0. He stopped 27/28.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Any intel on Jack McBean? It was mentioned in between periods during the Oilers/Canadian game that he might wait till August and declare himself a free agent.
His father is former NHL player Andrew McBain.

Jack McBain at eliteprospects.com

having a productive Sr year for BC, played for Canada at Olympics

"Clearly, the Hockey Canada brain trust subscribed to the philosophy that inexperience can prove costly on the Olympic stage. And it turned out that Jack McBain — one of five college/junior-aged players on the Canadian roster — committed a costly turnover in a 2-0 loss to Sweden in the Olympic quarter-final.
With the game tied 0-0 midway through third period, McBain attempted a drop pass at his own blueline. An opportunistic Lucas Wallmark swooped in and ripped a shot that deflected off Eric O'Dell's stick to give Sweden a 1-0 lead."

McBain is big, physical, and also has nice hands. As with most guys who profile like that, the skating is what holds him back from being a high-end prospect.

I'd take a flyer on him, but then I'd be signing 5 NCAA guys every year.

Same here. Just hand out contracts to 4-5 UDFAs every year. What's the worst that can happen?

50 contracts.
Logjam of kids who need development.
Trade requests at the lower levels as a result.
Headache.

- Rangers are usually at 45/50 after signing 2-3 UDFAs

- If your draftees can't outperform UDFAs, you stick with the UDFAs

- Trade requests are already happening in Hartford the last few years

More development staff then. More hours. More rink rentals. More of everything. Zero more attributable revenue.

It's a business yo.

 

[nyr2k2]

More donuts for Henriksson, though he did get a SOG! In his last 6 games he has played about 30 minutes in total, after playing 1:43 today.

 

[Leetch3]

vierling with another goal today. short handed

 

[Leetch3]

make that 2 goals today

Most of the college FAs never amount to more than AHL players as we’ve seen lately, but it’s still a good strategy to supplement your farm system in the hope they pan out. Even though a guy like Khodorenko or Richards hasn’t done much, those were still good moves to see if they could find a way to become useful depth players

 

[cwede]

Girardi and Zucc were UDFAs. You add some, each year, so you get that lucky sometimes

Tyler Johnson, Yani Gourde both undrafted, Mathieu Joseph is another

Even if you get a fringe NHLer out of it, it's a hit. Like if we signed someone this summer and they turned into Greg McKegg, it's a good move.

 

[RonaldNeptune]

Berard is staying at least one more year in college so he can play with his brother. Othmann has to play in juniors or the NHL next year, so odds are he'll be back in juniors.

could Othmann play professionally overseas ?

 

[kovazub94]

These are exceptions to the rule that just support the general rule that @Mac n Gs outlined.

 

[cwede]

could Othmann play professionally overseas ?

I had thought of that, him returning to Swiss league again, where he played during Covid last season,
but recently here, someone, maybe @AmazingKreiderman, left a post which said that,
per the OHL contract terms, OHL team would have to terminate the OHL deal before Othmann could play there

in Auston Matthews pre-draft season, he had no such restrictions, coming out of NTDP, so he could go play Swiss

 

[nyr2k2]

Kjellberg has 2 goals today. He has 4-7-11 in his last 11 games. If RPI loses today (which they are, 3-2) they're out of the ECAC tournament and their season is over.

 

[GAGLine]

could Othmann play professionally overseas ?

My understanding is that he can't, due to the transfer agreement. @Amazing Kreiderman would know better.

speaking of UDFAs, Brodzinski has UDFA brother, playing a 5th productive season at St.Cloud (C0vid added a year of eligibility)

Easton Brodzinski at eliteprospects.com

will be 26 by training camp, but strong hockey roots, (Dad and all 4 of the brothers play(ed) NCAA in MN
maybe a candidate for post-NCAA AHL deal? a la Giutarri/Whelan/Sanchez/OLeary/Berzolla

Pack recently gave a brief PTO to another pro brother, the only D-Man among the 5 Brodzinski's

the youngest is Flyers' pick, a Jr w Gophers
