He may actually be able to step into the NHL. Was a ppg at the Olympics which is basically AHL level competition, and is 22. Also everyone raves about his elite hockey iq.

His college stats don't get me too horned up tbh. But hopefully he's a player. Or a useful trade chip at the very least. I agree though, at this age he's probably close to a finished product.

I don’t think he has high upside, but good bottom 6 center upside. And probably a pretty safe bet.

 

[Preston]

Center would be great. I assume most center prospects turn wingers in the NHL. I'd take either. Cheap depth is good.

Does he have the wheels to keep up? If he doesn’t end up in a deal before Monday give him a look

Big and mean. Wow

Big and mean. Wow

Definitely hoping that he turns into a good and viable 4th liner

Am I missing a joke re: Gabriel or something? He's not with us anymore.

No idea if it'll be on TV here, but there's Zeke's favourite player's Frozen Four bracket

Also, after looking at the freshmen numbers of most NHLers who went the college route … I think Knies’ numbers are totally fine. There’s a ton of good players with comparable or worse.
