Updated our recruit stats again and the top uncommited/unsigned 04's since the 1st round of the CHL playoffs is over with. I also removed Nate Tivey (Quinnipiac), Ryan Abraham (Michigan Tech) and Andrei Loshko (Seattle Kraken) from the top uncommited/unsigned 04's table. Moved Peterson to 2025, Motew to 2025/2026, Johnson and Shea to 2026.

Noticed that Tyler Fukakusa of RIT has entered the portal. He was picked for 3rd team all AHA team. He lead RIT in scoring. He won 56% of his face offs after winning 407 face offs this year which ranked him 3rd nationally. His face off stats are nearly identical to Harrison Scott’s.

He is a 5’11” 180 lbs. left shot center with the following description: Speedy, dangler, smooth hands, elusive, crafty, good stick handler, great work ethic, good back-checker, good penalty killer

Seems like a great fit for what Maine needs. Wonder if Maine is contacting him?

If Maine could get him they should ask him to bring Matthew Wilde along with him.

This would be a great pickup.

Matthew Wilde now in the portal too, so that would work out well. Wilde was 2nd in points on RIT, but 1st in points per game. He lead RIT in goal scoring. He has played with Fukakusa since the last four years in junior hockey even. So no doubt they would like to go to the same team.

Matthew Wilde is a big LW at 6’2” 205 lbs and was all AHA first team despite missing first 8 games due to injury. He is described as high skill, quick release, great hands, plays heavy, physical, srong at the net front, elite shot, sniper, high hockey IQ, gets to open areas, long reach, protects puck with his body, needs to improve foot speed

This seems like two types Barr would love, Barr type player. Could see Wilde bringing what skill set Makar did to the line up. Fukakusa would be bring what skill set Breen brought to the line up.

Not sure which hockey east team is after Fukakusa and Wilde from transfer portal, but would think this is a natural fit for Maine given what Maine graduated and the opportunity for LC and LW. Maine graduated 3 left shot forwards, 2 centers and one winger in Breen, Scott, and Makar. Barr has been good at finding good mutual fits from the transfer portal.
