BU Recruiting Update, Part 4

Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 4

When does the Q have their draft, because we'll be saying the same thing about Wise, no? These guys are high end talent they are not going to drop very far just because they have opted for the NCAA route at this point. There were some comments from the team that drafted Weiss, and it wasn't the "we feel very confident that he will come to the OHL" type. It was more along the lines of "we know the situation and will do our best to get him to come to our team".

Q draft is set for June 4. DeBoer was picked in the second round by Oshawa. His dad, Sharks' coach Peter DeBoer, is a part owner of that OHL team, hence Mookie's "nice knowing you." We'll see. He did accept the NTDP invitation for next season.

Keller, with a pair of goals yesterday is up to 93 points (33-60). With at least five games left in the World U18s, he could become only the third NTDP skater with a 100 point season. The others: Auston Matthews (114) and Patrick Kane (102). Just four assists behind Bracco's single-season record of 64 and five points behind Phil Kessel's all-time points record of 180.

Oh please break that assist record.

With at least five games left to play--seven if Team USA reaches the World U18s gold-medal game--both the assists and points records are reachable for Keller.

Central Scouting's final rankings were announced today. Among N. Americans:
McAvoy 6; Keller 9; Bellows 10; Fabbro 18; Krys 53; Harper 143; Amonte 201. Oettinger is for the 2017 draft.

Wow, McAvoy jumped. But Krys fell quite a bit.

A very good chance at 4 in the first round.

Why is Harper so low? Too small?
 
Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 4

Well Keller had at least 1g and 1a today, so I guess he now owns the all-time points record. His goal was pretty slick.

He had two assists and the first, on Fox's goal, was pretty slick, too. One assist in the Sweden game was (correctly) taken away, but he's now tied with Bracco for most assists in a season with 64.
 
Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 4

What's going on with the younger Greenway? I see he is listed as the second d-pair, ahead of Krys. Would love to see him commit to BU.

We could cut Fortunato.

The inability of certain people to see Fortunato's value as a player is mind blowing. Also, cutting guys already in your program that you recruited is not a good if you want to continue to get top recruits like BU is

A defenseman who doesn't play defense and doesn't get the puck up the ice out of his own zone has very little value.

Unfortunately, every school does it. That would be the best plan with Fortunato
