Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. IV - It's all coming together

Re: Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. IV - It's all coming together

Todd M has another read about Liam Malmquist. Interesting that he's going to play in Penticton (BCHL) rather than the USHL Capitols. Maybe he can convince some Western Canadians to re-open that pipeline. He's small in stature, but so is Sean Dhooghe and we're happy with him, eh?

I like the idea of him heading to Penticton. I feel like he will develop better offensively in the BCHL vs USHL. Isn't there a Badger alum associated with Penticton?

Ron Vincent is the Managing Partner

A GREAT reason to send the future Badger up there. Ron will take great care of him.

Ron played 1 season for them....65 games; 74G 104A and more amazing that his scoring are his 161PM! Cary Eades and Andy Moog were on that team.

From the article.....

"He was drafted by the United States Hockey League's Madison Capitols earlier this month but instead will play next season in the British Columbia Hockey League with Penticton, where former Badgers defenseman Patrick Sexton recently was hired as an assistant coach"

Double dose of Badgers up there, I love it. I hope Sexton is a great recruiter. I also hope he doesn't harbor any bad feelings about the way his role on the team diminished over time.

Caufield is WAY too short to play in the NHL. If he plays 4 years for us he may grow 3/4" and all will be right with the NHL world.

I like your thinking Tim! Can't wait for the season that is only 4 months away......

Alex Turcotte and Jack Hughes were on location with "NHL LIVE" tonight before the Bruins @ Blues game #4.

Alex said he'll soon be in Madison for conditioning & training.

Agree Tim. Hopefully the coaching staff can get him to be physical and he isn't overwhelmed.....

Re: Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. IV - It's all coming together

I've been seeing lots of profiles and mocks lately.

Here are a couple:

The Athletic ($)
Mock Draft with your typical Hughes/Kakko at 1/2. Turcotte at 3 to Chicago and Caufield to Vancouver at 10

ESPN+ ($)
Chris Peters put together a "How all 31 teams ace their picks" mock.
Turcotte to Chicago in the first (3)
Caufield to Detroit in the first (6)

Turcotte following Toews' path?
Third pick in the draft, a year in college, then off to the Blackhawks to eventually be captain. Toews did it, can Turcotte?

Combine Results
Caufield with 16 pull-ups, tied for first; 6th in the vertical; 7th in the bench
Lindmark third in peak power on the Wingate

Toews played 2 years at Nodak. I believe Oshie played 3 fwiw.

None are as "diminutive" (as I have heard others say) as Caufield. He gets 3 years. Turcotte seems like a sure fired 1 year guy. Holloway will probably be a 2 year guy, maybe 3.
