F Andrew Kuzma - Madison Capitols, USHL (2023 Draft)

[Frk It]

Figured he had a thread since he was a former #6 pick in the USHL draft, but I didn't see one. He has 6 points in 7 games after getting traded from Des Moines to Madison. Believe he is playing on the top line with Quinn Finley and Miko Matikka. Do not see an NCAA commitment for him yet. Looking to see if anyone has more info on him.

I didn’t think he looked like a draftable player at the Hlinka, but summer hockey and all.

Don’t have much more to say. Sorry, not the most descriptive post.

Goal and assist tonight

 

[Frk It]

Scored 4 goals this weekend in 3 games.

He has 8 goals and 5 assists for 13 points in his last 13 games.

Surprised he has no ncaa commitment yet.

I hope he makes it. The world needs another Kuzma

Didn't get picked, but maybe next year. I'm not totally surprised. A lot of his point totals came off of being the 3rd wheel on a line for a while to two of the best players in the USHL.

My scouting report from his USHL season.

I watched him play at the Hlinka. Didn’t think he was a pick. Maybe I’d slightly revise that to a late pick. His puck game with his passing and quick decisions with the puck stood out. He’s also a center that isn’t a bad skater or lacking in size at about 6’0. I just don’t see a whole lot that stands out though to be anything more than a late pick. He was playing on a line with two of the best players in the USHL (Finley and Matikka). He was very definitely a passenger on that line. That doesn’t mean he’s not worth a pick because he’s leaching off those guys for points, but those guys aren’t exactly sure-things to be good NHL’ers either, so being a passenger compared to them says something.
