Congrats to the kid, undrafted to ELC out of camp as an 18 year old like this is virtually unheard of.
Just out of curiousity... Bobo Carpenter had similiar PPG in the USHL last year to both Letunov and JFK who are both second round draft picks. Yet Carpenter doesn't get drafted at all. Why is this? At 5'10, while certainly not large, isn't tiny either and I doubt he would be overlooked since his father played in the NHL.
His speed and skating ability are questioned by NHL teams. He's got a heck of a release and a heavy shot, but NHL teams are worried he's too slow to get open at the next level.

Hmmmmm. Sounds a lot like what pundits said about Nick Bonino. He worked out.
Shush you!
.Jake Wise (BU) is good role model for how other top young prospects should play. While some coast through shifts, he brings it each shift
Wise's skill and physical tools are undeniable but his vision, hockey IQ and motor are off the charts. Really impressed me at Select 15s.
There are so many stories on Piccinich/Cloonan going around twitter right now from "reliable sources" it's hard to figure out what is going on right now until the dust settles.
Cliff notes?
