Wow. Carter Hart a goalie. Best goalie in the draft though probably.

Holy poop are we loaded in goalie prospects.

With as many picks as they have, glad they used one early on a projectable goalie

Never have too many with talent. Never

I love the pick of the Russian kid. He very well could be the next Datysuk. Now go get Rick Nash and lets win the whole damn thing

Allison, Wade RW - Tri-City Storm (USHL) 6’02”, 205
HockeyProspect.com Ranking: 58

Wade has become somewhat of a late bloomer in this year’s draft class, after a pretty average Rookie season In the USHL last season, and fighting the injury bug early in the 15/16 season, Allison had really come on in the 2nd half of the season and became a key piece to Tri City’s Post Season run and was the Team West’s MVP of the USHL Top Prospects game in January.

Allison likes to play a physical Power Forward style that will go into any puck battle and plays with an edge and physicality that his teammates feed off of, create energy and can get under the opponents skin. Wade likes to drive the net and bang home dirty goals but also possesses a lethal shot that comes off his stick quickly. He likes to push the pace and come into the offensive zone with speed and drive straight to the net, he doesn’t like pulling up with the puck or trying to find the soft area’s to get a pass, even when that might be the play that’s warranted in that situation. On the fore check Allison is a pest, always finishing his checks and working to keep pucks alive and create turnovers. Allison doesn’t just work hard in the offensive zone; he battles in his own end and takes pride in blocking shots. Wade is a energy player who does all the little things well to help his team win but can also bring a level of skill and finishing ability. He will be off to Western Michigan next year where he will join a very talented recruiting class.

Quotable: “I always look for hockey sense and although he has good size and some great tools I just didn’t see the smarts on the ice I like to see, so thats a bigger stopper for me.” - HP Scout Mark Edwards

I'm fine with the G but no swinging for the fences, very disappointing.
