The Curious Case of Jay O’Brien - Flyers Nation

Jay O’Brien was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers with former general manager Ron Hextall’s last first round pick in 2018 before he was fired later that year. O’Brien is one of three players drafted in the first round of the 2018 draft not to play a NHL game and only one of two not to […]

Jake Wise signs with Charlotte

 

[Saxon Eric]

Have some more signings to report
Bryan Yoon to Utah Grizzlies
Ben Zloty to Texas Stars
Anthony Costantini to San Diego Gulls
Ivan Ivan to Colorado Eagles

I have 4 players remaining unsigned from the original list
Brett Brochu G London Knights
Sean McGurn C London Knights
Aidan Campbell G Nanaimo BCHL
Spencer Meier RD St Cloud State

Also we should be getting a nice jump start on the 2024 list
I have only 12 Bruins prospects being available for the Buffalo tournament and that includes Lysell and Bussi, though I suppose they could add Beecher Toporowski etc to fill it out ,regardless they'll be some new names to add

More subtractions
Brett Brochu Fort Wayne Comets ECHL
Sean McGurn U Sports University of New Brunswick
Forgot Aidan De La Gorgendier last update, he's still available
And as far as a know Jay O'Brien is the biggest name left for the College Loophole players

Any opinion on O'Brien?

 

[Saxon Eric]

Decent College player, 2 way type, not much sizzle but safe, I'd sign him to an AHL contract

 

[Saxon Eric]

 

[Blowfish]

OMG he will automatically become the number 1 prospect in the league.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Last update before we close up shop for 2023
Slava Demin signed a PTO with Montreal
Spencer Meier was at Washington Capitol's Rookie camp
Aidan De La Gorgendiere was at Colorado Rookie Camp
Aidan Campbell of the Nanaimo Clippers is the only one from the list that hasn't caught on anywhere

At some point the 2024 list will commence

[Johnnyduke]

Now what does this "upcoming" semester mean?



There it is, that's what I thought.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Swankler? What a good name lol.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Probably time for a new thread

 

[The National]

My favorite thread

 

[Saxon Eric]

I'll do a top 10 sometime this week

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Probably time for a new thread

Sweeney at least got a look at his Bruins guys, it was a very short night for Collin Graf who got injured on I think his second shift and missed the rest of the game

I would think there would be a lot of mutual interest between the Bruins and Graf.

He was at tonight's "scrimmage" vs Northeastern

I have more coming, Loophole players and dudes that have been through our development camp

 

[Saxon Eric]

Before I dig in with Loophole and Development Camp players I'd like to add 1 player to the master list

Joey Larson 6'1 RW Michigan State

 

[Saxon Eric]

Development Camp Free Agents
From 2021
Tyler Gratton 6'2 RW Arizona State, not a big point producer, plays with an edge

Mathew Kopperud 6'1 C/LW Arizona State ,disaster of a season last year, seems back on track

Zach Stejskal 6'5 Goalie Minnesota Duluth, beat Cancer, won his starting job back,life is good

2022
Jamie Englebert 6'4 Center Providence, some skill but inconsistent

Tyler Paquette 6'3 C/RW Penn State, Believe he's currently injured, organizational depth

Porter Schachle 6'4 LW/C University of Alaska Anchorage, Free spirit that plays hard, think Joey Abate

Gabriel Carriere 6'2 Goalie Vermont, he keeps Vermont in a lot of games


2023
Ryan Kirwan 6'2 LW Penn State, another decent size forward with some skill,been a fan of his since the Green Bay days

Derek Mullahy 6'0 Goalie Harvard, had a really good development camp but I'm not sure he'll even start for the crimson

 

[Saxon Eric]

Another add
Lynden Breen 5'9 Center Maine
Totally forgot about him, small dude but producing at every level

 

[Bruins78]

Another add
Lynden Breen 5'9 Center Maine
Totally forgot about him, small dude but producing at every level

He's going to have a monster season if he stays on a line with the Nadeau brothers all year. Maine will be interesting, particularly if Artyom Duda gets clearance to play.
