      Seems like a real nice get. Troy Stecher was an elite college defenseman, probably among the top few in the game at his time. Ardanaz is smaller and a good skater, with offensive numbers at DHA, but that is still a lofty comp. Happy to take your word for it, but what leads you to that name?? Any particular performance or evaluation??

          From June 2018:
          Head scout and Assistant Coach of the Vipers, Kevin Pedersen had this to say about the commitment (to Vernon):
          “The decision to commit to Nick a year out was based on his development as a player. Nick is a gifted skater with dynamic edges and ability to control the puck. He has great vision and excels in the offensive side of the game.”

            No thanks. No need for anyone bigger than 6'2. Let's focus on skating skill and puck skills.

              Height does not disqualify one from bing able to move around the ice or move the puck. Greenway is hardly a statue. At worst he gives you what Wyse gives you (a huge body with steady play and solid movement). With upside.

              https://www.eliteprospects.com/playe...james-greenway

              When I look at the group of D UNH will have the next couple of years - JD would have fit in very nicely. If were talking 02's and beyond - Ill take all the 5-8 puck movers you can find in the Ian Mitchell or Troy Stecher mold if that's what they prefer. When you're last-minute shopping, you can't be as picky. If Gildon leaves this year, who replaces him in the top-4?

              Wyse-Maass
              MacKinnon - Verrier
              Bahn - McElhaney
              Hickey

              That's a group that could use another D - and a steady, older D with two years of NCAA experience who is moving pucks at a high-level in the USHL (3-8--11 in 17 GP) and has done the same at the International level would have been a great fit. He also wouldn't have clogged up future scholarship money to target elite puck moving prospects sooner rather than later. Not sure they can find much better right now, unless there's another early summer decommit...

                Tim Stuzle looks like he will be a good one, I wonder if that recruiting battle is over or he's still mulling over the major junior route or another school?

                  Yes, indeed. UNH fans are crossing their fingers (and toes) hoping he comes to UNH. Guess we'll find out!

                      So, nothing but crickets on Engarås. Didn't even come up as a topic around being shorhanded (injury madness) of late. Maybe he's actually in town and cleared, just not good enough to be on the ice.

                      That said, if he's still serving his NCAA penance, and UNH is footing a scholarship, well, that's a huge waste for a team that needs all it can get. In the real world, it's a due diligence fail regardless of the reason (admissions, pro$$, whatever...) and somebody gets a spanking.

                      Seems we'll need to do some discrete wire tapping to get any intel...

                        Well, he's def in town; I've seen him a few times at the 'Whitt. And I listen to the pressers (most of the time all the way through) and his name is never brought up. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that. I don't know why they don't bring that up I'd be wondering. As per him not having the talent to be on the ice? I've got no clue about that. My inkling is he IS good enough to be skating with the 'Cats...? Of course this is a college team not the Bruins so we don't have the luxury of knowing all of these things, but, I'm kind of surprised his name isn't brought up at the weekly presser. My only guess is he's still not cleared I'm doubting his talent keeps him off the ice. But...crickets; that's for sure....

                          If someone in the press had a pair, they'd ask Coach Souza for some insight. Simple, no?

                            Agreed. Why not ask the question? Maybe they know and don’t want to rock the boat. Totally plausible.

                              Stutzle apparently suffered an upper body injury and will miss the 1-A U20 tournament, which begins Sunday in Germany. No idea how long he may be out...

                              EDIT
                              It appears he tried to fight through it - and productively, returning and posting a goal and assist in a pre-tournament game against Norway - but will not be on the final roster...

                                Just to put some context to Stützles stats:

                                16yo seasons in the German youth league DNL:
                                Leon Draisaitl: 56 points in 35 games; Points/game = 1,60
                                Dominik Bokk: 71 points in 41 games; Points/game = 1,73
                                Tim Stützle: 55 points in 20 games; Points/game = 2,75

                                I don´t know anything about the strenghts of their linemates. But these numbers should give you an idea, how special his season is so far.

                                They even changed the maximum age from 19 to 20 this season. Pretty sick to lead the scoring race as a 16yo by such a large margin.

                                From what I have seen in the few youtube videos, he has a great shot and very good agility.

                                If he keeps scoring like that, he goes Top10 in 2020 imo.

                                Does anyone know what his plans are for next season?
                                Draisaitl bounced from that season to two years tearing up the WHL and is currently a PPG player in the NHL. Bokk jumped to Sweden and is now a SHL regular at 18 (and was a first round pick by St Louis)...

                                As we all know Stutzle's current plans involve a year with Sioux City in the USHL and then UNH. Though his development timeline continues to speed up rapidly...
