    A few weeks before the Draft I figured he'd be Drafted in the late 4th or late 5th round, then after watching the NHL Network for a couple weeks leading into the Draft, I thought with so many goaltenders available that he would not even get Drafted and if he did it would be late 6th or 7th round....either way he did get selected which means some team or teams saw something they liked....next he needs to heal up on his late season injury, get ready for the MJHL { possible @ USHL?} play and head to Maine to team up with Swayman in 2019-20 season.

      Exactly. With the increase in talent and depth at the NCAA level over the past decade-plus NHL teams are happy to let drafted players develop in NCAA. Pearson is a good example of that - 15 years ago he leaves after sophomore year. Also, players who go un-drafted are realizing the power of patience when it comes to negotiating and not jumping at the first offer. 10 years ago Tralmaks jumps at his first or second offer and maybe plays one or two seasons in NCAA. Instead players like Zack Aston-Reese are proving that if you wait and drive your stock up over a 3 or 4 seasons that more teams start bidding for services and you can get a better offer and situation. Even drafted players are more frequently waiting for graduation so they can become free agents and choose the best situation for themselves (much to the ire of major juniors). The post 2005 NHL-CBA world initially favored the teams but now the player's hockey advisers and agents have figured out how to sway deals in the player's favor. I think this is good for college hockey as it has a positive feedback on talent and competition on the ice. Although, I do expect a future CBA to curb some of this - even though NHL headquarters moved to New York the CHL still has a lot of clout.
      Speaking of Tralmaks, evidently he has been invited to 10 nhl development camps.

        He has the talents, he tends to be a streaky type player {imo}….points of the game he is in all there plays and then there are times he's not visible….he still needs seasoning and a good place is College Hockey for another 2 season, this year and next.

          Not sure, this article claims he's back in MJHL for another season. My guess is Dubuque gives him a shot to play into the roster early in the season. But, who knows.

            Let's hope you are correct. If you are wrong you owe me a beer. If you are right Walrus owes me a beer.

                    This article by Larry states Thiessen is playing for Dubuque(USHL)

                    Bhall44, do you think Drobot is coming in this season? I saw you have it that way on your roster projection chart. But I saw he attended Fargo camp, and he is considered the top returning center for them.

                        The only way Thiessen is not in Dubuque this fall is if he doesn't want to be there. Drobot is likely to head back to Fargo but as this point is not a lock - by end of July we will know for sure, if not sooner. To remove the "guess work" out of the roster projection I require pretty overwhelming evidence from both media and industry colleagues before making a change.

                          Ok, sounds fair. Are the others listed as USHL locks at this point? If so it is encouraging to see so many playing in what is the best league for NCAA recruits.

                            Actual "Locks" don't happen until first week of October when teams have to drop rosters down to 23 before start of regular season. July 9, when USHL teams have to submit 30 man protected lists, is the next best thing to a lock. I have listed, to use legal jargon, "beyond a reasonable doubt" locations. A lot can happen between now and the start of the season.

                                That is a good read. Thanks for the link.

                                I see Thiessen is on Canucks camp roster.
