It’s unfortunate the guy is small, he’s got speed to burn, really good pucks skills; as good as anyone in the 2022 draft and has an amazing motor on him; gives it his all shift in and out. 2 POTG awards so far for USA’s B team at the Hlinka despite not registering a point.
MAJOR sleeper for the 2022 draft.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He’s a good player at the junior level. As @Leaves34 said, his size will probably make a huge difference with the draft. I’m not sure I’d agree that his offensive game is that great, but I think he’s a player who likely is only held back in a big way by his size. Unfortunately it’s hard to see him being anything other than a late pick.

He’s up to 5’10” now via the Windsor Spitfires official website.
Likely won’t be overlooked because of his size if this is the case.

Looks like a long lost Hughes bro.

"Constantly"? Do you mean "consistently"?

Not trying to be a jerk. Just not sure what you meant.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Has been very good as of late, 10 points in his last 7 games.
Up to 31 points on the season.

[Artorius Horus T]

Almost doubled his production from last season already.
0.70 ppg to 1.31 ppg.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Never drafted despite a 31 goal season in 2023-24. Doesn't look like he is committed anywhere yet but seems like the ideal candidate for NCAA hockey if he chooses that path.

Abraham commits to Michigan Tech! Big time pickup for the Huskies!

Nice we always need skill here at MTU!

 

[LeProspector]

Not surprised he wanted to stay close to home.

I think 4 years of the university experience and playing pretty high level hockey is much more appealing than signing pro & riding the bus, potentially going up & down from the A to the Coast, going to places like Wheeling & Greensboro in a sleeper bus making peanuts.

Kid's got a real good heart. He's a battler and has some skill and will do well at Tech in the CCHA. His skating is average and couple that with his size; he would have had a difficult time in the AHL and would have been Coast bound. So yeah, much better for him playing college, earning a degree and having a productive life outside of hockey when he's done.

Nothing wrong with either Wheeling or Greensboro though...both nice towns
