BU Recruiting Update--Part 5

[Genxhockey]

While I think only about 3 players should depart for the pros after this season I could easily see it rise to 5-6
However if you look at recruits for next year there are supposedly 11 coming in
This either means more turning pro, others exploring the transfer portal or some deferring for a year

I am trying to come up with who is ready for the pros on this roster and I am coming up blank. I think there is a ton of talent that could use another year of development. Eiserman has come so far but I still think he could use another year.

The Athletic projects Tynan Lawrence and Caleb Malhotra as the #2 and #3 centers for next year's Canada WJC team. Malhotra is 3rd in OHL scoring, first among rookies.

NHL Central Scouting has issued its midterm rankings for the 2026 draft. Six Terrier recruits were ranked among North American skaters:
#5 Caleb Malhotra,
#7 Tynan Lawrence,
#17 Egor Shilov (photo),
#37 Luke Schairer,
#50 Braidy Wassilyn
#90 Rian Chudzinski.

2027 recruit Brady Knowling is the top-rated North American goalie.

The Athletic's comments:
Scott Wheeler: "Malhotra’s ranking (No. 5 in North America) aligns with what scouts have been saying about him for a while now: that he’s firmly in the top-five mix."
Cory Pronman: "Lawrence is a bit low for me. I had him No. 1 overall a few weeks ago, so obviously, I’m going to think seventh in North America is off. His offense may not be elite, but he’s a much better play driver than several of the players rated ahead of him due to his skating and work ethic."

Regarding Lawrence. (Still odd to see that name on the back of a jersey again. You know, #25... My son's health teacher. ) - He needs to get on the score sheet this coming weekend. Have drive and work ethic is fine and good, but... Teams don't draft based on drive and work ethic. Not in the Top 10 anyway.

Caleb Mallhotra and Braidy Wassilyn play in tonight's OHL Prospects Game tonight. 7 p.m. ET. Free stream on FloHockey's YouTube Channel. Malhotra has leapfrogged Tynan Lawrence on several draft rankings.
Luke Schairer and Jamie Glance (2027 recruit) will play in Thursday's Chipotle All-American Game at 7 p.m. ET NHL Network.

Just like in the CHL-USA series, Glance was impressive in the All-American Prospects Game. THN:

Although he isn't eligible for the NHL draft until next year, Jamie Glance was impressive all night long. He was one of Team Blue's most dangerous offensive players every time he stepped on the ice, accounting for most of their offensive generation through the first period and a half of the game. The Boston University commit has the shiftiness in tight areas and the speed in open ice to be a very impactful player.
