Recruits 2014

[Trotsky]

Every time I see his name, I really wish it were spelled "Stymchyshyn."

I always think:

"How's it feel to be an Independent, Schoenstein?"

"How's it feel to be an asshole, Niedermeyer?"

"What did he say?"

Comparing Heisenberg's Fall '13 and Fall '14 lists:

On '13, now on team: Anderson, Weidner, Freschi, Coon, Lewis, Kubiak, Gillam, Buckles, P McCarron, Sade

On '13 and repeated on '14: Vanderlaan, Angello, Ott, Rauter, Bliss

On '13 but not on team or '14: Booth, Hackett, Cimetta

On '14: Fiegl, Otterman, Tschantz, Wedman, Strenshein, Starrett, Yates, Hoffman

Not yet on '14: Stewart

Are all the players in red gone?  Cimetta as discussed above disappeared.  Booth and Hackett are off BRPH.

Hard to believe that Rauter will be there next year.  Looks like he's no longer on a USHL roster, he's moved on to the NAHL.  Rauter stats

Needs another edit. Stren is the line I throw off the stern when fishing.

Is the NAHL a better league than the USHL?  (i.e., are you saying he's developed beyond the NCAA route, or that he's regressed?)

The USHL is significantly better. The NAHL has many players who could not make the USHL, e.g. RPI recruit Charlie Manley.

Thx.

Interesting that Rauter's star has fallen.  IIRC when he was announced there were people saying he could be a real stud.

I believe Rauter's still coming. I saw an interview with him after he got to Wenatchee and he mentioned getting recruited to play at Cornell as being his biggest thrill.

[RatushnyFan]

I was one who thought he would be a real star...........saw him play as a midget, he was a sniper.  For whatever reason, it didn't translate at the next level, probably a speed or strength issue.  Maybe he'll come around, and scoop I'm sure he still wants to come (who wouldn't) but I think it's at least a question mark now as to whether he'll make the team.  I hope that he does, he seems like a great kid.

Well, it's not like we're drowning in scorers.

Sounds a little like Matt Connors.  Sometimes guys can't make the jump, sometimes an injury comes along at exactly the wrong time in a kid's development.  At least it isn't a case of attitude or academics or ESL, each of which can be indicative of future problems.

I hope he makes it and thrives (of course!)

Final list is out for the NHL Central Scouting. Below are the CU recruits I noticed:

#79 Beau Starrett
#114 Anthony Angello
#142 Jared Fiegl

Seems like the rule of thumb is the final draft position maps to about 2 x the final CS rank.  That would put Starrett in the 6th round and Angello on the bubble for the 7th.

Follow up on one we lost. Union recruit Shier named OJHL playoff MVP.

Link's not opening for me.  Is that Pete Shier's son?

[Jerseygirl]

Yes.
