Gajan has faced 40 shots already. He's made some unreal saves too. Couple breakaways. He's so athletic.

 

[MTU34]

No videos yet but a couple of primary assists for Boisvert. 4 points through 2 games against quality competition to open the year

That’s a great release.

Very limited sample size, but in the first two games for North Dakota, SB is tied for the team lead with 4pts in 2 games. The guy he's tied with is 4 years older. Outside of those two, no player on that team has more than 2 points so far.

Musto is crying himself to sleep tonight.

Should be a good test for Adam Gajan.

Went to the game tonight…wow! Just wow!
MINN outshot UMD 23-3 in the first and built a 4-0 lead, they scored on first shot on Adam Gajan…but he was the best Bulldog…second period was a slight edge in shots again for MINN, both teams scored, Sam Rinzel scored their 5th goal…third period was fun to watch, Gajan kept it 5-1 while his team was outshot 37-12, UMD scored two and then unfortunately Gajan was beaten two more times, Oliver Moore scored the 6th goal(also had an assist) making the game 7-3…Dominic James scored UMDs 4th goal and assisted on their 5th goal with Gajan pulled…7-5 final, shots were 42-17 Golden Gophers!

Overall I’m excited at the possibility of seeing all three play as future Blackhawks

Gajan showed that same ‘overwhelmed’ play he did tending net for the ‘overmatched’ Slovak

James is a good penalty killer and surprisingly a team leader by example

Moore is such a smooth skater, reliable defensively and an excellent passer offensive threat

Rinzel is the real deal folks! Can’t wait to see him in a Hawks jersey

One of Boisvert's assists tonight.

I’m gonna say Rinzel but Levshunov is right there too. I think Rinzel just has more fluid tools

Although not an apples-to-apples comparison regarding age and pre-collegiate background, I tend to agree and said as much last season.

Yea I think it's close and I'm one of the biggest Rinzel fans here. Levshunov is the better skater and stick handler. Rinzel has the better shot and is bigger. What will separate them both is hockey I.Q. which is what I think Rinzel is a better thinker of the game. But I don't believe Levshunov's hockey sense is bad like some others do.

I watched the Minnesota game as well. Moore doesn’t look as engaged as he usually does so far. He was as quiet as you can be in a 1+1 outing. I have slight concerns about him being top 6 skill/play driver but he seems to be a slow starter so I’ll wait until January to really worry.

There are no worries with Rinzel. He’s mean, he’s fluid, he’s engaged. He’s too good for this level. Will get games with Hawks by end of year.

Gajan is fun to watch. He’s kind of all over the place in a good and bad way. He’s great post to post. He needs to learn to attack shooters and take more net away. He plays a little deep for me. But he’s got a long runway and the physical tools are certainly there.

Dominic James is the best player on UMD but he’s old and I don’t really care. We have a lot of James’ already but he could be a Slaggert type path

Going Levshunov, Rinzel, Jones down the right side could be nasty by 2028.
