Re: Boston University - 2017-2018 season - thread numero uno
Tkachuk is still growing into his body. In 3 years he's grown from 5'10"/155 to 6'3"/194. Looks very awkward at times physically against more mature competition.
If it wasn't for other departures, he would have played another year in either the BCHL or USHL. I think the same could be said for Cockerill and Crone.
If JFK & Bellows returned, and Andren hadn't transferred, I think we would have only seen one of the 3 (between Amonte, Cockerill, Crone) on this year's roster.
Great skater. Unfortunately that's where it begins/ends. Skates much faster than he sees & thinks the game, hence the lack of productivity as well as a defensive liability.
Would much rather have an average skater w/ high hockey IQ in the lineup.

Amonte has been decent, though I think he's one of the guys that could've used another year of development before coming to college. I don't think either one got here on his last name, a la Eruzione's kid, nor do I think either is a major factor contributing to the horrendous play over the last month.

For the life of me I cannot understand Quinn's insistence on continuing to suit up Cloonan each night, he's a total nonfactor.
