Sullivan Mack got his first pro goal yesterday.

Hopefully he can gain some momentum and have a good season for Bloomington. Pretty unlikely he gets called up to Hartford unless there's a trade with the amount of NHL contracts in front of him.

Quote from: BearLoverI suggest everyone check out the highlights of the Colgate games from this weekend, available on YouTube. Colgate goalie gave up a goal from the red line in BOTH games. I can't recall ever seeing a (non-EN) goal scored from the red line. Two in consecutive games???

Colgate's goalies are both bad so they've been splitting most weekends so it wasn't the same kid who gave up both. Still crazy.

Quote from: SwampyIzzy Daniel is taken at #18, in the 3rd round, by Toronto in the 2024 PWHL draft.

The link seems to be a list of only college players who were drafted. So, for example, only 3 names are listed for Round 2. But the Pick column consists of consecutive numbers. So, take Izzy's ranking with a grain of salt until someone can clarify things.

The ECACHL did pretty well. tOSU had 8 picks, followed by Toothpaste with 6 and Clarkson with 4. Princeton's Sarah Fillier was the #1 pick.

18th Overall is Correct. Toronto had the last pick of each round as the team with the best regular season record.

Was it a slash? 100% even though from my angle at the opposite end of the rink I couldn't really tell but I'll go with those who had a better angle.

Should it have been called? No shot. There were ample opportunities for these refs to do their jobs and actually enforce the rules all game and they didn't.

A penalty is a penalty and should be called no matter what in my opinion but I'd rather there be consistency within the game rather than a random application of the rules.

Quote from: BearLoverNotably, Gio is our only recruit who was listed in the Central Scouting Midterm Rankings, and I believe that a team must sign a drafted player within four years of the draft or that player becomes a free agent. Which means, if Gio is drafted and he plays a year of junior hockey, and the team that drafts him wants to sign him, there will be tremendous pressure on Gio to sign before his senior year even starts, and we'd potentially lose a year of his services. Someone more knowledgeable about this should let me know if I'm wrong—but if I have this right, then we really should be bringing in drafted players ASAP.

The rule is 2 years or they're eligible to be drafted. For college the rule changes and the team retains a players rights until they've exhausted their eligibility. We've had a few of guys that it's happened to, though most of them haven't signed with their original team. My best example is Steven Fogarty who played a year in the BCHL post draft then spent 4 years at Notre Dame before signing with the Rangers who drafted him and held his rights.

Quote from: Give My RegardsI'd sure like to know where ESPN+ got the idea that Cornell was 11-4 in the ECAC.  The women are 12-5, maybe that sort of explains it.

Every broadcast is school-produced. I won't get into the minutiae but they forgot to change them from last Saturday's women's game.

Quote from: TrotskyInteresting they took Stienburg too.

Their prospect pool is incredibly thin up front. Not too surprising they signed one of their own draft picks.

Quote from: From the ReleaseOne of Vaughan's most impressive achievements was leading the program to the ECAC Hockey tournament on a near-annual basis. In his three decades at the helm, Colgate made 27 appearances in the playoffs and reached the ECAC championship weekend on 14 occasions.

Not exactly the most impressive stat.

Stienburg signs and will join Malinski in the AHL for the rest of the year

Dirven signed with Wheeling in the ECHL

Sam Malinski signs with Colorado



Big news, confirming probably a couple of guys we probably knew were gone.

Malinski to Colorado is awesome. Makes me think Stienburg will probably sign with the Avs as well if they're still interested.

Berard on an ATO to AHL Texas is promising as well. He'll most likely end up with an AHL deal next year.


EDIT: Trying to format this was ass

Quote from: TrotskyI'm a little surprised Kaldis hasn't gotten a look in the N yet.  Anybody know what the issue is?

He's on an AHL deal.

Myself, my father and my uncle will be there Thursday.

Quote from: arugulaInteresting about Steinburg. Wonder whether that means he's not interested in Colorado or vice versa.

I would imagine the injury has complicated Colorado's evaluation of him. If I were him Colorado is a good spot to be. There's going to be some turnover in that bottom 6 and with an expensive core locked up they'll need cheap ELCs to fill the depth.

This may be a bit premature, but I figure this is  the best place to put this Free agents for NHL teams 2023: Top college, CHL and European players

Here are the relevant bits for those looking to get around the paywall.

Quote2. Sam Malinski, RHD, Cornell-ECAC: Malinski has been a top defenseman in college this season. He has excellent playmaking ability. He makes a lot of difficult passes in the offensive zone and has the ability to run a pro power play with his vision and shot. His skating is solid too and he can create with his skill and feet. Malinski isn't the biggest defender but he competes well enough that I think he has a shot to be a good pro.

12. Travis Mitchell, LHD, Cornell-ECAC: Mitchell has played a large role for Cornell this season. The senior defenseman and team captain often lined up on both special teams. He's a big-body defenseman who competes well and could be a solid pro defender. His skating is fine for his size but not a major selling point. Whether he can move pucks versus men will be Mitchell's main challenge as I wouldn't call him a natural offensive type.

Steinburg is also listed as a potential free agent.

Whatever people think of Pronman, (and I have mixed feelings) it's nice to see our guys get some love.
