My memory must be shot then. I recall Hammer playing both sides quite a bit, but I don't recall him playing the left with Campbell.

Pridham looks like he could be a steal. Really like his game.

It's honestly incredible how rapidly Rinzel has developed the past 2 years. I can guarantee even the Hawks brass didn't think he would be at this point already. Probably had him ticketed for 3 maybe all 4 years of college. Now you can arguably say he might be ready for Rockford next year.

He probably will add 20 lbs still . The final product might be incredible .

He might end up being the best draft pick this management team has made if we exclude Bedard which was a gimme
As to Ronzel...no question he has developed faster than Hawks brass originally thought...they said has the tools justcraw..but now after 2 collegiate seasons he is one of tge top dmen in the ncaa..
Maybe okay hom 1 more seson in school at Minnesota...But his decision to stay or turn pro afterthis his Sophomore sesdon coukd depend on who Minnesota loses ofc the team after this season.. if The loses of key players too great then Rinzel may think a younger team withca lotvofvibcomong freshmen will not Dowell next sesson..in that case best forchom either to keep developing in Rockford OR use the transfer portal to join top contender for an NCAA ChMpionshio run if he wants to play his Junior year in the NCAA....

Another year at Minny won't move the needle much for Rinzel, especially offensively. He has some things he'll need to clean-up in his own zone but that's best served in the AHL.

Another guy that's been on fire is Aidan Thompson 14 GP 10 G 12 A 22PTS he's 22 years old but still looks promising to at the very least be a solid 4th liner .

What an unreal pass by Pridham. You can see what the Hawks scouts saw in him playing with less than stellar BCHL talent.
#2 Ty Henry (another Hawks pick) also got a good look at that pass too.
Honest question here not trying to be a smart ass. How does points production for a 180 lb 22 year old in college lead to a 4th liner? Don't you want your 4th liners to be bigger, grindier guys who kill penalties?
I have no idea what his motor is or if he has good defensive instincts but isn't it more likely that he, or any high scoring light 22 year old in college, either becomes a top 9 guy in the NHL or top 6 guy in AHL/Europe than a 4th liner in the NHL?
