Re: Northeastern Huskies 2016-17 Part II: Postseason Edition
I've seen Aidan McDonough a handful of times this year and last. I couldn't figure why he hadn't been nailed down by a School yet. Good size, good hands, makes good plays, gets around the ice with no problem. Doesn't have a 'burner gear' that I've seen but is no slouch skating wise. When I saw that he committed to NU today I tried to think of a comp for him. I know Jeff Cox compared him to Ashton-Reese but my comp was John Stevens or Matt Filipe (who came on strong as the season moved along). The difference being I hadn't really seen the 'nasty' from McDonough that Ashton-Reese or Nolan Stevens show. It's possible that Cox has seen this edge from McDonough in venues other than Prep. Aidan will be a very good player for NU.
