Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 3

Jack Eichel ripped a one-timer in overtime to give the U18s a 4-3 win against Michigan State. Second consecutive 2-goal game giving him 30 goals, 33 assists in 37 U18 games.

Fellow 2014 recruit AJ Greer scored a goal and an assist for Kimball Union in a 4-3 win over Brooks in the Small School Prep semifinal. KUA takes on Dan Donato's Dexter School team in the final.

When I saw him on the U-17 play Lincoln last year, it was obvious he was on another level from just about everyone else on the ice. He'll make lotsa noise next season for BU.
 
Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 3

I saw Eichel after the WJC with the under 18 team and he was still on another level...legit star if he gets to BU

There are whispers elite 2015 prospect Jack Eichel may consider not going to BU if he could play head-to-head in OHL vs. Connor McDavid.

Talk about the possibility of a kick in the nuts for BU.

A CHL team GM could have just thrown that out there to take a shot at him. No real reason to believe he won't be at BU in the fall. He already turned down two teams in the Q

Because he wants to play on a good team in the O. Notice how top draft picks always $omehow end up on the top teams.

From what I understand, he'd have to clear waivers in the Q first before any O team had a shot at him. So basically, every single Q team would have to pass on him before this outcome would even be a possibility. Most of what I've read make this seem like an enormous long shot.

Edit: And there you go: Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonCHN 13s

Spoke to Darrell Young, GM of the Saint John Seadogs: "There is no way we're ever going to let [Eichel] go to the Ontario Hockey League."

So, it would appear if he's going to go anywhere in Canada, it'd be to a Q team.
 
Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 3

Stranger things have happened in the CHL. It's a shady, shady place. We'll see. Personally, I don't expect him to play college next year.
 
Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 3

And now we see just how good Quinn and co. are at keeping top talent committed... I've had a feeling in my gut that this was still far from a lock. Just would love to see this guy in a BU sweater.
