2024-25 USNTDP U18 Discussion

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Now won five in a row against USHL teams.

Team isn’t so bad after all.

I’ve bashed this team but they have been lot better in last 4-6 weeks . Even Moore playing with more urgency and looking lot better. I want see them against better ushl teams coming up but they are playing good .

Good lord does this American class look weak.

I think Murtagh and McKinney are by far the two best players on this team. One 3rd or 4th round player I like is Belle. Moore, Tretheway, and Amico I just don’t understand. Especially Tretheway, the poor guy can’t break a puck out.

yesterday all star game i thought ushl kids look lot better than ntdp kids - just one game but ntdp lacks any real high end skill at forward and dmen are not great . i think murtaugh is a poor man’s leonard and will go mid - late first round . Mckinney is just really solid but not great at anything or high end but he will go late first - early second . No dmen will go in the first round in my view

Finally lost. A lot of guys out of the lineup though.

Schairer and Nelson got their first game with the 18’s. Berchild continued to play with the 18’s, as he seemingly has for weeks.

I watched the game on flo and they are looking better pace wise . I thought Mckinney is looking great lately and could slip into first round . Mooney was flying out there and has looked dangerous . The defense is nothing to get excited about and starting think mid second - third round for trethaway and phillips because huge will be third round . Amico is like Schaefer in that he hasn’t played and by default scouts will take him second round because it’s weak dmen class . lol

Why aren't the u18 and u17 not playing for 2 weeks?

Apparently they're playing at the 2025 U18 Five Nations, and they're getting killed by Sweden right now.

In addition to Mikey Berchild (2008, NTDP u17, Minnetonka, MN, Denver commit) playing up, they've added Sam Spehar (2007, Sioux Falls Stampede, Chaska, MN, Denver commit) & Kade Stengrim (2007, Youngstown Phantoms, Brainerd, MN, St Cloud State commit) to the roster.

They probably would’ve added one or two of the younger players they’d want to audition for the team in normal circumstances, but they have a tournament in Finland while the U18’s have one in Sweden. Tells us Berchild is a lock for this team right now, and the other ones aren’t. I don’t see how Spehar or Stengrim stick beyond this tournament. This is probably to give them some additional draft exposure.
