College Hockey College Free Agent talk II

[Mione134]

Can we sign him now?!

We might have to

 

[TobanWest]

We might have to

I'd take someone with a mean face at this point. Maybe we could sign Gritty?

f*** it. He'll probably do the job. Get the keys and I'll grab the cash.

Ryan Humphrey formally of the Hamilton Bulldogs,London Knights and Niagara makes his USHL debut tonight for Green Bay
He attended Bruins camp a few years back

 

[GordonHowe]

Sweeney better be on top of this years class and next. He’s going to need some free agent kid to come in. With no top picks in the draft, seems like his ace card.

It's one of his strengths.

It would be nice if he brought in size and you know what. (I'm tired of using the P word.)

So Mike McMahon of College Hockey Insider posted a thread on advanced stats that's normally not available to peasants like me,I'm not going to lift the entire post but will add a few players stats that are on the list

Time in ice
Not surprising Ryan Chesley and Lane Hutson lead the country with 26:25 and 26:24 respectively but the next 2 are interesting
John Driscoll of Army at 26:14
Chris Hedden of Air Force 26:04

Net team xG (expected goal) per 20 minutes
Jake Richard (Buffalo pick) UConn leads the nation with .99
Gleb Veremyev Colorado College at .86

Scoring chances per 20 minutes
Matt Kopperud Arizona State 5.31
Cutter Gauthier BC 4.78

Hits per 20 minutes
Chase Bradley (Wings pick) UConn 5.45 leads
My guy Winter Wallace Cornell at 3.45
Jamie Englebert PC at 3.40

D zone takeaways per 20
Tucker McIntosh St Lawrence leads with 9.41
Jacob Bengtsson BC at 8.48
And old friend Dustyn McFaul comes in at 8.03

This is the most frustrating UMass Lowell team in over a decade. 0 offensive talent at all

I think he’s hurt right now but this kid can fly, could be a good loophole player to watch

Next year's list

Ahh that’s right, hopefully he slips thru

A bit down on the proverbial food chart - and certainly a small sample size - but is there anything to see in St. Thomas goalie Jake Sibell?

Remember him being one of the NAHL's better goalies when he played for Aberdeen.

Spent two years with Niagara before transferring this year.

Obviously a long shot but with the current state of goaltending is he worth a look?

Always worth a look,I would assume he stays another year,I haven't watched St Thomas this season yet
Ryder Donovan hurt or more anxiety issues?

Michigan Tech leading scorer Isaac Gordon is a freshman born in 2004 (and I believe still eligible for the 2024 NHL Draft).

The CCHA players tend to fly under the radar but seems interesting.

New Hampshire's own

Time to check on who's top 10 in scoring in the NCAA that's not drafted
Not counting Celebrini or Buium who will be

At #4 Luke Grainger Western Michigan 5'10 181 C/RW 7 goals 18 assists in 16 games

#7 Dylan Wendt Western Michigan 6'1 185 C/RW 13 goals 11 assist in 16 games

#9 Jared Westcott Lake Superior State 6'1 201 C/LW
12 goals 11 assists in 18 games

#10 Collin Graf Quinnipiac 6'1 195 C/RW 10 goals 13 assists in 12 games

#11 Carter King University of Denver 5'10 190 C/LW 10 goals 13 assists 18 games

Massimo Rizzo University of Denver 5'11 174 C
7 goals 24 assists 18 games leads the Country in points was drafted, now property of the dysfunctional Flyers and a prime Loophole candidate but we won't get ahead of ourselves

Top Free Agent Goalies
Of note only 1 Drafted Goalie in the top 10,also of note guys I thought that were having a good year their stats suck
Want to shout out 2 local guys

#4 Henry Welsch 6'2 200 U Mass Lowell
2.02 GAA. 928 save% in 12 games

#5 Jason Grande 6'3 201 Holy Cross
2.07 .926 save% in 11 games

Word on the street has Minnesota not signing Marshall Warren 6'0 181 Left D Michigan
Solid player,superior human being

 

[Saxon Eric]

They go through all the conferences and pick a surprise player in each, only 2 of 7 were already on the list, my ego is in shambles...

Brian Kramer 5'11 181 Left D American International, 9 goals +13

Ben Robertson 5'11 181 Left D Cornell, point per game and only 19,making him eligible for the 2024 draft

Pierce Charleson 6'2 194 Goalie Alaska Fairbanks 2.16 GAA .918 save%

Garrett Schifsky 5'9 174 Center Michigan
8 goals 8 assists in 18 games

Jake Sibell 6'2 205 Goalie St Thomas, leads the NCAA in GAA 1.65 and Save % .940
@Jersey Fan 12 guy

Jack Musa 5'10 172 RW U-Mass
7 goals 11 assassists in 16 games

Dylan Wendt 6'1 185 plays multiple positions for Western Michigan, he's in top 5 territory for free agents

This is a very strong class of potential free agent goalies

Still hoping the Bruins can land Collin Graf...not only is he top 10 in scoring but he's missed a third of the season and leads the league in points per game

Not having many picks to battle with for a spot has gotta make this a more appealing place for college free agents

 

[JoeIsAStud]

I don't know if he is an NHL defensemen or not, but I am quite sure the Bruins scouts have seen a lot of him the last couple years
