Didn't realize my model won the contest last year! Very cool. Wasn't very active here last year due to a bunch of work projects, but I'm back now. I'm planning on having my preview article with the model results up in the next 2 weeks. This year, I don't think I'm going to do my own predictions...
10-15 goals is good but nothing special. Brown had 3 players in that range and had 14 wins. Depth is good but you win with top end talent. Every top ECAC team (Qpac, Cornell, Clarkson, etc) had at least one player over 15 goals. Dartmouth is the only exception but they had 6 players in the 10-15...
I expect 10-12 wins given the strength of the non-conference schedule with 15 wins max if they really exceed expectations. No top end players up front, a bunch of solid middle of the lineup types, which gives them good depth but it'll only go so far. Super young blue line that has talent but...
18-20 wins is insane. Zero chance. Wallace and Tapper are not as good as Hotson and Caron. The only player on the roster capable of hitting 30 points on the year is Tinling. They'll be good eventually but not this year
I don't think any of them are D3 types except maybe Oakenfold. But they're nothing special either. Lots up in the air of course, probably will wait and see how they play
I would cut Shaw. Undersized and did nothing in BCHL last year. Only produced in a weak NAHL. Would also cut Oakenfold. Would wait and see on Lariviere. I still think Ziliotto is good enough.
It's kind of weird to me that a player who has already proven he can play a contributing role in the league can't find a spot. I know it's only 3 per team but Oshawa had room
I think we will end up keeping him. He was a raw prospect when he committed in the first place, and then he had a late growth spurt to go from 6'4 to 6'6. Bigger players take longer to develop. Wouldn't be surprised if he breaks out this year.
This doesn't make sense to me. First, Chemrouk is better than Dwyer, who made his team. Second, he scored 4 goals in the preseason. What more do you want the guy to do?
LOL touche, hope he proves me wrong of course. We have plenty of depth if I am right though. I'm very comfortable with how our 3rd and 4th lines will look but our overall offense will depend on how much offense the top 6 can give us.
I'd also love to hear doc's take. Having hip surgery followed by atrophy sounds pretty serious, but I have no idea how the recovery works. He's been skating for about 9 months according to Lang, but I would assume it's quite a long path to regain all the strength and range of motion. And that's...
