Those are the three I'm most anxious to see play as well.

Re: Top Incoming Players, Freshman players to watch
yes. and I may actually be underrating Rau w/25 possible pts. I wouldn't be surprised if the kid put up 30-35pts or more. Minnesota has underperformed recently but they've GOT the talent. if they play together look out. but...as a UW fan I'm hoping they play like there's 5 pucks out there this year

Re: Top Incoming Players, Freshman players to watch
always a GREAT GAME when the Wolverines face the Spartans.
We lost a lot of firepower up front but you guys lost some key players too.
Wont be long until the Titans of hockey clash!
Go Blue!

Yeah it's tough to predict how some of the new freshmen will do but Rau could be fun to watch, if you're a Minnesota fan at least.

And I think you guys got one he'll of a goaltender in Rumpel. I think that kid is gonna be something special. Both the Gophs and Badgers are gonna be young, but talented. Should be fun to watch

Re: Top Incoming Players, Freshman players to watch
I streamed the HS finals last year and that kid was outstanding. Obviously the hustle on that game-winning goal was exactly what you want your star players to exhibit.
Also 2 kids on Duluth East who were juniors but I forget their names now.
I know WCHA is not a frosh league but I have to believe that w/Hill out (and that seems to have rejuvenated the fan base if not the kids on the team) and Guentzel in, and a talented frosh class surrounding him, Rau could stand out very quickly and collect a lot of points

Re: Top Incoming Players, Freshman players to watch
we're cautiously optimistic on Rumpel. Some people are saying he could be another CUJO (those are big skates to fill). I haven't seen him play but I'm hoping he can be 1/2 as good as the hype and I'd take that for sure.
EDIT - yeah, both teams are going to be fun to watch for sure. I can't wait for the games vs. MN, Nodak and DU. I also love watching the MN vs. Nodak games if/when I can get them on the pc

To the NHL? I don't see many that stick out. Saponari but does he really count? I don't think Grimaldi has the size package to be a 1 and done even if he's the most talented freshman. Doubt Mayfield since it usually takes defensemen longer.
Short answer, none stick out to me as one and dones. If anything I could see someone signing and going CHL but no Kessel's or Erik Johnson's.

Add Hyman to that list he is quoted as wanting a degree from Michigan. You can add Grimaldi too. Both are Panther draft picks and the Panthers have loaded up with vets saying they will be leaving kids in school to develop.

I learned today that all the good players are in the CHL.

You thought a 5th round draft pick might be a one and done?

Re: Top Incoming Players, Freshman players to watch
Chuck, he's no ordinary 5th round pick.. just look at what he has done since the draft- Canadian Junior A Player of the year, Ontario Hockey Associations BJ Monro award for top Pro prospect, lead all of Canada in points per game last season at 2.40 ppg, jersey in Hockey Hall of Fame... we can go on... there's lots of press on this kid... Panthers even project him as a top 6 forward in the NHL.... I'm just glad he's a Wolverine! At least we get to watch him develop and sure hope he stays all 4 years. Imagine how good he will become learning from and playing for Red Berenson.
