Seems like a good low risk, long term potential pick up. Even if he can become a beiga, its a good signing.

Fills in an age gap, we can pretend, in hindsight, that JB had an extra 7th round pick in 2016.

Most undrafted players have unimpressive stat lines.

It was the regression from the previous 2 years that caught my eye more than anything

Oh ffs! Another alt, man. Really?

True, but one bad year out of three doesn’t sound like a trend. The bad season seems more of the outlier than the two good ones.

But don’t get me wrong, the chances of this kid being an NHL player are very slim.

Lol. And we’re off to a blazing start.

Morning hate has strength today.

I thought Pressy was still stuck in the last thread arguing with all his other alts?

This isn’t new, at least not newer than the others.

Except that it comes at the end, where he is older, more mature, physically stronger (should be anyway) than his younger peers. It would be like a CHL player dipping in his 4th season.

Yeah this is what I was getting at. Playing worse in a college league as a 23/24 year old than you did when you were 21/22 is a red flag

True. But how many 'I hate Vantel' alts does a guy need?

True, but what do the numbers tell us? Lots of players have awesome amateur stats that don’t translate into NHL careers.

There’s a whole forum dedicated to it, what’s a few extra burner accounts...

No idea, I didn’t even look at the stats. I have no desire to wade through the rubbish bin looking for a half eaten éclair.

I agree, in the end it’s still scraps. Like a hungry dog, JB loves his scraps.

I forgot that it was actually 'old' recent standards. Fun times when the wheels fall off the bus.

We've gotten some good ncaa guys in the past. Stecher is the most promising of our young guys(for a few more games until quinn shines) and was. As was Tanev. Seems like a strong avenue, im all for it.

Boeser?

Boeser was drafted. Stetch and Tanev weren’t, I think?

Was a draft pick not a free agent, were talking ncaa free agents

I think Vancouver comes out smoking against the Rangers. EP has a big game. I dont think we see Quinn until the weekend at the earliest.
