Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

Re: Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

Did Jankus play at D much for Maine? I know he could but only remember him up front. We could use a few guys like him now. I could be wrong, but didn't he score the opener in that wonderful NCAA semifinal against BC in 2004?

i only remember him as a forward as well... and yes, he did have the opener vs. bc

Re: Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

Thanks that's he said to me last night.

------

I haven't seen him play but a Mr. Hockey Finalist in Minnesota and the NHL radar, that's good. Is he an impact freshman, probably not. I think just like Will Merchant it will take a year or two before they make an impact at DI level.

I pulled this from USHR. I watch alot of the high school stuff and for the most part I think ushr.com is the most reliable in terms of player evaluations... They wrote about Glienke a couple times this year---most recently in February and ranked him as one of the top rated uncommitted players:

13. Zach Glienke, F, ’95 (Eagan-Minnesota HS) 6-3/200 — The Eagan captain is incredibly raw, but he has the tools to be a pro. Can really skate for a big man. Has posted a 23-26-49 scoring line in only 21 games played this season. Was recently ranked #115 on NHL Central Scouting’s mid-season Rankings.[/I]

Zach Glienke, F, 12/2/94 (Eagan) 6-3/190 — Big, powerful skater who is undoubtedly a pro prospect. It is not often you see someone this size skate so fluidly. Is very raw right now, but could develop into a big-time power forward. Last season at Eagan he put up a 27-15-42 scoring line in 31 games played. Will be watched closely by NHL scouts this season. Uncommitted.

I was always impressed with that Jankus. Real personable kid. One night after I witnessed Prestin throw a nutty I asked him what is going through that guy's mind. He said to me... I don't know, and nobody does, he is from the prairie and you just don't mess with guys from the prairie. They are crazy.

Travis Wight in my mind was one of the most effortless skater back on D, outstanding command of his lateral positioning. Just a gem to watch his lateral movement and it could go so effortless the average person wouldn't know it was outstanding.

Andrew Tegeler who has been on UMass Amherst's roster the last past two seasons has committed to Maine. He left UMass in the middle of the year last year to join the Vernon Vipers (BCHL) where he had six goals and 15 assists in 28 games. The 20 year old has one goal in six games in two years with the Minutemen.

Yes I knew he was there and then after the shop-lifting fiasco he got traded...from there he was released by Maine & Whitehead,he did call and inform Maine & Whitehead of his young & dumb act...figured someone would give him a 2nd chance...hopefully he learned...the hard way but hopefully this is a wakeup call for him(imo).

I thought teams had to have a players rights in order to invite them to camp. Also, the Sabres haven't released their camp roster yet. The only source I found to support this is Tyler's twitter.
