Re: Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. IV - It's all coming together

Shay Donovan just committed to UW per his Twitter. I assume he is the other defenseman for next season.

Thanks for the info. I've added him to the sheet for '19-'20.

Adding a 20 year old defenseman can only help next year.

Todd Milewski just confirmed it is for next year. He is Ryder Donovan's older brother.

The talking heads over at NHL.com have their draft predictions up:

Adam Kimelman
Buffalo picks Caufield at 7
Philly picks Turcotte at 11


Mike Morreale
Detroit picks Turcotte at 6


Guillaume Lepage
Detroit picks Turcotte at 6

This is what scares me and why I call them one and dones. I really hope i’m wrong but the last few highly regarded players UW had like Frederic, Kunin and Turriscall left way too early.

McDonagh was smart as was Geoffrion. Stepan proved me wrong.

Having Badgers playing for the Rangers makes me want to throw up in my mouth.

Come on! D Steph, B Smith, McD, Ritcher!!!, Driver just to name a few that popped right into my noggin. I was always the Rangers when I played Blades of Steel.

I LOVE getting a 20 yr old D as insurance, the kind of guy that can make a simple play and who is a mature force in the locker room.

Love the Badgers, hate the Rangers. Have to dislike them the second they get on the team. Such a sad state of affairs.

That makes me ache inside. So it's ok to hate Suter for being on the Wild? I just pretend he doesn't exist.

Of course not.

There is nothing wrong with playing for the Wild.

Actually, for those of you Philistines that hate the Wild, you should love Suter being there.

His contract, along with Parise’s, has completely shuttered the Wild’s ability to be anything but middling.

Re: Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. IV - It's all coming together

You guys are weird. The only thing I care about the NHL is supporting the Gophers out there. I don't like the Wild because their two highest paid players right now are a Whioux and a badger. Winnipeg has a Gopher captain, so right now I'm all Winnipeg and Pittsburgh (Phil the Thrill + Bjugstad - Schultz)

Back to the "recruiting" thread. I would guess that means Lamaster is moving to 2020 after being injured this year. I like the older defenseman, but he really hasn't shown any offensive skill in juniors. Hopefully he is a super solid lock down defenseman.

Plus, it’s not like the NAHL is on par with the USHL.

Neutral Zone tweeted this about him....

Shay Donovan to Wisconsin. Mostly stay at home D who shuts down the rush and closes gaps quickly at 6'3". Adds stability in the back, makes a firm fist pass & trusts his feet. Gets shots off quickly. Still a bit raw but athletic w/upside as a 1998.

Curious about the Lamaster change as well. Haven't seen that he's moving back a year, but it would probably make sense.

This. Was so happy when McD was traded to the Lightning.

Recruiting young isn't just restricted to hockey it seems.
