Prospect Info: 2024 92nd Overall - Jack Pridham

[ClydeLee]

All these prospect threads are so rude and full of nonsense. Why aren't you guys just posting that in the draft thread and leave these to actual info about players.

Well good that he gets to go to BU next year from a lower league. Get right to it

Mustard and now ham. On our way to a pretty tasty sandwich.

I stand corrected.

Looks like he's going back to BCHL next year. Also looks like Greene won't be his teammate after all unless Greene goes back his senior year @Kevin Musto

 

[Kevin Musto]

Not good enough for the NCAA

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I asked in GDT but does that mean we will get additional year holding his rights if he goes to NCAA for 25-26?

Could be good for Hawks on that front if case

5 years now until his rights expire

Come on. Most post-2nd round draft picks or high school players head to or back to their development leages before enrolling in the NCAA. There are exceptions but it's the norm.

Pridham is a 5th rounder at best

L for Kyle

Kyle's thinking outside the box !! He can use the kid to squeeze the Leaf's on future deals

Both BCHLers.. Hoyt and Suniev were 3rd/4ths and played NCAA following year.

 

[Canucks LB]

I’ve seen him play many times, he is so good, his talent is off the charts, just an incredible pick for you guys

 

[WarriorofTime]

He could play in NCAA next year if he wanted to play for a lesser team, but with BU, it'd be hard to get ice time and it's better for both sides to take another year of Juniors. There's really no rush. If anything, too many kids that get drafted in the middle rounds are too eager to get to NCAA right away, when the norm across NCAA is to wait until 19 or 20 before entering for the vast majority of players. Recall that Rinzel played in the USHL in his D+1 and only entered Minnesota in his D+2. It's not a race.

having to read your posts is an l for all of us.

 

[Kevin Musto]

We could've had Kevin He with this pick

Kyle Davidson is cooked

Leading the OHL in scoring btw

Jack is leaving the BCHL and joining Tri City of the USHL

I wonder what the reasoning behind that is.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

I wonder what the reasoning behind that is.

To Tri City in particular, because they drafted him a few years ago.
Why to the USHL? Dunno, maybe he sees it as a step-up and to be better prepared for BU next year?

 

[Kevin Musto]

Had to leave Canada after realizing he'll never reach the heights of Kevin He

Shameful

 

[giza]

Too good for the BCHL, but not quite good enough for BU at this point?

I don't think you can join a college team mid year no matter how good you are. Scholarship situations can be complicated.

 

[Teemu]

I wonder what the reasoning behind that is.

Could be related to the shuffle of players due to the new CHL/NCAA agreement. A lot of players are expected to swap leagues, especially USHL to OHL

This would be my guess.
