7th round pick who chose to forgo his prior commitment to play in the NCAA immediately with UConn and has been extremely productive and likely their best player since pretty much the moment he stepped on the ice. Great skater, and works insanely hard. Plays a PWF hybrid-style of game with nice hands, and a good shot he should use more.

The Leaf fans that have been paying attention have loved him for years. One of the last cuts for Team Canada this past WJC.

Really glad they signed him. Was a bit worried because his production didn’t skyrocket or anything but I love the style he plays.

Love the upsell though!

You seem like a guy who has watched lots of UConn so im obviously very interested in your opinion. I mean, you clearly know what youre talking about after googling his height and weight. Did you quickly check twitter for a highlight package too? You seem like an expert, so I have to assume you did.

Got an opinion of Matthew Wood too? I'd love to hear it.

You read my opinion. He’s not a power forward. You gotta be a Leaf fan to believe he has that ability! lol

Any idea as to why Toronto pulled him out early ?

End of his junior year. Not an unusual time to turn pro.

UConn is out of the Hockey East playoffs — losing in the quarterfinals. That plus their 4th place regular season finish would make them an unlikely pick for the national championship tournament - 6 conference winners + 10 other teams make the tourney.

Nice, I'd imagine they plunk him in right away with the Marlies. They could use someone with Tverberg's skillset.

Yes. He has apparently signed an ATO (Amateur tryout) contract with the Marlies for the rest of this season. Then his NHL ELC contract will kick in.

One of their other players has also signed an NHL deal. I wonder if they already know.

EDIT: Sorry, not an NHL deal. Roman Kinal signed an ATO deal with San Jose Baracuda

I would have figured they'd send him back for one more season given that he can.

Then he can wait a couple months to go straight UFA. If you like a kid, you lock him up in his junior year, and in the case of someone like Knies, you do everything you can to lock him up at the end of his Sophmore season, so he doesn't have some ridiculous season next year and then decide he can play the extra year like Vesey did and choose his team.

I guess if you can get him on a 3 instead of a 2 that makes sense, but it's not like he absolutely crushed the NCAA.

Just curious that they would try and get him and some other teams asap

I mean if they don't sign him after this season and leave him in school that walks him to FA....why would any team want to do that? It makes no sense to not sign him now.
