Leaving school to sign ELC with Hawks today

Very happy to get him started on professional journey and to see him get some games with Hawks to end year

Don't think he's fully ready for the NHL, wouldn't be surprised to see him in Rockford for the first half of next season at least. A lot of Gophers fans were disappointed by his progress or lack thereof.

Yeap. Never was a fan of this pick. I would take Moore developing into an energy 3rd line, PKer like a Michael Frolik.

He’ll absolutely be in Rockford to start next year. My guess is a few games with Chicago here to end the season before being sent to the AHL for the playoffs.

I think Moore is much better than his sophomore season. I don’t think he’ll be a ppg guy or anything, but I could still see a 50-60 point two way forward.

Frolik with Grabner speed. Maybe a bit better offense than Frolik which is where the Grabner qualities come into play

I like him and think he can be a useful NHLer, but 50-60 pts seems like wishful thinking to me. I don'r really see the high end offensive tools in the NCAA and doubt this develops in the AHL/NHL.

I think the more likely scenario would be for him to end up a swiss army knife player, similar to Jake Evans.

But hey, I might be wrong...

I’m saying that’s his ceiling, not necessarily that I would bet on it.

I think it’ll really depend where he plays. 3C? You’re probably right he won’t touch 50.

But if he’s playing on Bedards wing in his prime, it’s definitely possible.

I really like Moore, very useful player. His speed alone is going to create rush chances.

I see a grittier, less skilled Haula. Don’t envision him being a 50 point guy unless he is deemed a fit for the Top 6 on playstyle alone.
