Dexter Southfield’s Sean Keohane focused on prep, defers USHL journey until 2023 - New England Hockey Journal

Sean Keohane, a Milton, Mass., native and Harvard commit, plans to play in Tri-City in 2023 and is one of the area's top prep school players.

He's headed to Tri-City and then Harvard.

No idea where he's committed to for college.

EP talking him up as a mid-rounder with good physical game. I'll pull the quotes.

Kid has a few years of development time before we even have to put him in the AHL. Good deal. Just hope he's not like a couple other players out of Harvard who refuse to sign. Keohanewatch starts NOW.

BIG BOI.

A theme.

High schooler who was captain and is 6'4". Works for me.

Sean Keohane is creating his own path!

Whaler Sean Keohane has been on many people's radars heading into this season. Keohane has opted to stay and play this fall at Dexter Southfield instead of playing for the Tri-City Storm. This past spring, Keohane was taken in the third round, 38th overall, by Tri-City Storm at the USHL Phase II Dra

EP Quotes:

At first glance, Sean Keohane’s numbers at the USHS Prep level look underwhelming. Averaging 0.5 points per game, even as a defender, doesn’t inspire much confidence. The reality is Keohane is much more than these numbers suggest.

Part of a low-scoring Dexter Southfield School roster, Keohane represents upside in its purest form. At 6-foot-4, the Milton-born defender towers over his competition. What makes Keohane particularly interesting is how he blends his skating with his frame. A capable mover who quickly gets in motion on the rush, Keohane also flashes nuanced defensive skating, allowing him to push an absurd amount of aggression defending the rush.

“Fluid in the backwards crossover, Keohane actively blends his plus mobility to be aggressive while defending the rush,” Crossover scout Daniel Gee wrote in a December game report. “Most of his stops are off of aggressive neutral zone pushes on perimeter puck carriers. Where the mobility [really] flashed was when Keohane combated rush-pattern adjustments. In the first, as a man cut across the defensive zone, Keohane was able to push laterally, guiding the threat to the outside with his stick.”

When he’s at his best, the American defender is leveraging his mobility to defend the dotted lines, using his long reach to probe and knock pucks to the perimeter and disrupt releases. He’s physical, jumping off the net front to punish attackers on the end boards and tries to clog lanes with anticipation-based reads, pushing nastiness after the whistle.

At his worst, Keohane is abandoning his check to sprint at a downhill shooter on the off chance he is able to disrupt their possessions before they release. A dull puck-mover, Keohane had issues in our viewings with finding the best options in transition. He lacks a manipulation element, both on retrievals and while he works north-to-south, which hurts his projectability as a puck mover. Even when Keohane exits with control, he’s only really good for one large-ice manoeuvre before his hands lag behind his skating. When they don’t he dumps every puck deep

With him heading to the USHL for a year before he heads to Harvard, he is a prime candidate for "he's going to walk as a UFA" freakouts if he develops well.

I mean we just need bodies for the meat grinder on the third pair.

Seriously - perfect pick in the sixth round. Draft for potential at this level and you can hit. Look at Rousek, Kozak, Olofsson, Levi, Richard...

And he's a long way off. Stashing guys is a real thing too, though I'm sure we should post the "leave the complaints about if he signs" in the OP so we don't have 50 pages of non-player talk and 10 pages of player talk like the Johnson thread was.

I'd make it an instaban until two months before he has to decide.

Rochester not going to be pushed around anymore in a couple years

 

[Cirris]

Gives me Brendan Gulhe vibes. Fast,big,raw hoping Keohane can put decision making under the pluses also.

 

[Woodhouse]

In Pronman's draft grades article, he noted that Keohane "played all year with a hurt shoulder."

 

[MarkusKetterer]

I like how in the first two posts, one shows a RHD and a LHD. He’s apparently going for the modern day version of “Gordie Howe switching sides on a breakaway”.

This was amusing -



Mostly because I found it via Will Vote's twitter.
