20 y/o, already completed his freshman year

 

[wej20]

Probably another two years at Michigan State for him. Decent numbers for a guy who was 19 for most of the season.

 

[MTU34]

I go to school at Michigan Tech and cover recruiting for a site that writes about the team.

Figured I’d pop in to offer insight/answer questions if you guys have any

 

[deakka]

We really swinging for the fences this year! Ranked around 200 or not at all, double overager, description "just solid". I'm so excited!

Care to give a bit of a scouting report? Anything more than "just solid" would be appreciated..

Was just reading last part of the EP description. So I'm as underwhelmed as you!

It's not like I expect a lot from a pick this late, but from what I've read so far, this guy just seems like the definition of "meh".

To be honest “just solid” kind of sums it up from an nhl prospect standpoint. He’s very much a jack of all trades/master of none type.

Skates well, projectable frame, adequate puck mover, good defender. I think there’s a bottom pairing D in there if everything goes right.

As a mid sized program that doesn’t get a ton of high end recruits, it’s pretty rare for us to bring in guys before they age out of junior (though thats changed with our last couple of classes). Chase came in at 19 and was immediately our all situations #1. I think that speaks volumes

 

[The Old Master]

i got nothing.

 

[Ryder71]

The Pens beat writers are doing us all a disservice. I seriously doubt any of them know who these ppl are. Haase, KIN and Yohe haven't mentioned much at all. They seemed focus on Logan Thompson. Just pathetic!

i got nothing.

Same with with the beat writers, just trash.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Michigan Tech had a very good season last year, so I would assume that Pietila played a part in that.

A lot of tough NHL players have come from Michigan Tech. Randy McKay, Andy Sutton, Jujhar Khaira and John Scott immediately come to mind.

The diminutive speedster Chris Conner was also an impactful player while he was there.

So, if we can turn back the clock to 1999 when those kind of players were worth something, we should be excited?

 

[wej20]

I don't know if it is true or not but I feel like we absolutely love drafting players who are teammates of current prospects.

 

[chethejet]

A bigger, stronger Chad Ruhwedel type that adds depth to the system. Pens need RD in the system so why not.

 

[Jacob]

We could kind of count him as a Finn.

Because he doesn’t even have the upside of Ruh…he’s not gonna be a NHL player lol
