C Logan Cooley - Arizona (2022, 3rd, ARI)

[Favin]

I am now VERY curious as to the results of the next McKenzie poll. If NHL scouts agree with the CSB scouts on this Wright/Cooley issue, we’ve got an interesting draft here.

Sounds like Cooley has had the momentum for a while now. I do believe a big part of his appeal is the success he has had against older competition where his game clearly rises to another level.

Looking like we could have two-man race, which will be fun. McKenzie poll will be interesting.

He`s the 1 OA, make the screenshot

What do you think is his ETA to the NHL? 1 or 2 years of college

Something like that. Two has worked better for most, but one could also work.

I think one for sure. Whatever team drafts him will be pining to get him on their team after his first year at Notre Dame. He has the IQ and skating to be a good player early in his career imo.

top 5 at best. might be the best available center not named Shane Wright this draft. Should stay in ND for a few more seasons to tune himself

What are your thoughts on a second line of

Stutzle-Cooley-Greig

Stutzle-Cooley-Greig

If all those players even approach their potential, that’s a simply absurd second line…which will quickly price itself out of being utilizable as a second line.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Great consolation price at 2, for sure. If Habs don't pick #1, Logan Cooley is a no-brainer.

Wright - Suzuki that would be perfect, but Cooley - Suzuki... it's pretty good too. We are going to be set for long time at C with Wright or Cooley. (Even Savoie).

Who would be a good nhl comparable

i mean pretty crappy if Cooley and Grieg bust and Stutzle doesn’t take another step.

 

[mphmiles]

Who would be a good nhl comparable

IMO

Upside: Brayden Point. Bit undersized C who can really skate, competes at both ends, and do a little bit of everything at a high level.

Lower end: Bryan Little.

 

[Bonin21]

Looks like he's committing to the U! Ya baby!

Joining Snuggerud, Lucius x2, Chesley, and hopefully can get Knies and Faber to come back an extra year!

 

[William H Bonney]

What a huge, huge coup for the Gophers. Wow. I'm not surprised he left Notre Dame as they can never get their top recruits on campus. It would have been cool to see him go to Penn State too since he's a Pennsylvania kid, but he's not long for NCAA hockey anyway.

Logan Cooley has changed his NCAA commitment to the University of Minnesota - Daily Faceoff

Logan Cooley, a top prospect for the 2022 NHL draft, has changed his NCAA commitment.

Cooley was originally committed to go to Notre Dame in the fall of 2022 but he’s now committed to the University of Minnesota. Daily Faceoff contributor Chris Peters noted that Cooley had changed his Instagram bio to say ‘University of Minnesota commit.’

Cooley’s Instagram story also featured a screenshot of the University of Minnesota’s logo, the golden gopher…

Earlier this month, Peters ranked Cooley as the top prospect in his 2022 NHL mid-season draft rankings, taking the spot from Shane Wright of the Kingston Frontneacs…

“I’m starting to view the Cooley-Wright debate similar to the Jack Hughes-Kaapo Kakko debate, only this time they’re both centers,” Peters said. “When push came to shove, who was the more explosive, dynamic player? It was Hughes then and it feels like it’s Cooley now. The reason he has challenged and now surpassed Wright on my board after much debate is that he’s simply the more dynamic player and has enough qualities that leave me more confident at this point in time that he projects more favorably as a top-of-the-lineup star.”

At this point he's become the clearcut choice for #1 IMO

 

[Bonin21]

We're hoping our top line next year is:
Knies - Cooley - Lucius
or
Knies - Cooley - Snuggerud

Great get for Minnesota of course.

Man, Notre Dame has been getting raided left and right these last couple years.

They raided the Gophs for Jake Boltmann last year. What goes around, comes around.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Sick news, I really like Cooley, from what I have seen, his IQ is fantastic and looks every bit the part of a future winner.

The Gophers would make that trade every day of the week. Notre Dame has a horrible track record in keeping their top commits.

Yup, though the point still stands that ND is not an innocent victim that doesn't indulge in the same sort of behavior that MN is being accused of(by some).

Boltmann does seem to be doing well this year, though.
