Sam Colangelo was part of a dominant Chicago Steel team in the USHL this year. His 28 goals and 30 assists for 58 points in 44 games helped the team to a 41-7-1 record and first place in the regular season. When the USHL season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were also awarded the league championship. With a +32, Colangelo led the league in that statistic. In 2017-18, Colangelo split time between three teams. He had three goals in 11 games for the Steel. He also put up 19 goals and 48 points in 28 games playing prep-school hockey for Lawrence Academy. Colangelo put up seven goals and eight points in nine games for the Boston Little Bruins U18 club.

Colangelo also represented the US on the international stage. At the 2018 Hlinka-Gretzky Cup, he scored two goals in five tournament games. He also played at this season’s World Junior A Hockey Challenge, scoring one goal and one assist in six games and picking up a silver medal. Colangelo is committed to playing hockey for the Northeastern University Huskies next season. If he changes his mind and goes the CHL route, his rights are owned by the Charlottetown Islanders.

Love this pick. He needs to on his skating but his skill level for such a big body is awesome. Good shot and net front presence, good passing vision and can make cross ice passes on his forehand and backhand, and has soft hands. Absolutely could be a complementary top 6 guy.

"His plus 32 led the entire circuit as well. Among top 60 scorers Collangelo holds a ridciolous lead in even srength points per game at almost 1.1, the next three players are at .94, .91 and .86."

If skating and compete levels are his biggest flaws, I don't see why he can't improve upon those. Seems like he's got all the tools so can't complain about this one.

It does seem like he has some heavy feet.

Excited for him but definitely a project. Shouldn't see the NHL any time soon but could absolutely be a key complementary player for us if everything goes well.

He ranks as the 5th best RW prospect with The Hockey Writers top-10 RW list: link

On that same list, Perreault ranked #2. So Perreault is the scorer and Colangelo is the bouncer. ha!

Colangelo has also been invited to the USA WJC summer camp. He is a very late 01 birthday (Dec. 26), so this is his last chance to make the team.

Passing on Gunler, Khusnutdinov and Mysak for him? Not so sure about this one.
