F Carter Meyer - USA NTDP U17, (2027 Draft)

[Mathieukferland]

A lot of American hockey players come from failed former hockey players. It ain’t uncommon my friend. Hutsons Dad is an obsessed Canadian hockey parent, his guidance of what to do and what not to do while developing his boys cannot be underestimated, same with Gauthiers Dad, same with Will Horcoffs Dad, although his dad along with young Perraults (NYR prospect) dad were pretty good Canadian born hockey players.

This isn’t the thread for this

Agreed

Correct. Carter Meyer’s dad Freddy played for the NTDP back in the day. So another “nepo” kid but a second gen American power.

People will always complain about advantages that some athletes have and others do not. They have an impact until they don't. Meyer will be either the top player on the NTDP or somewhere in the QMJHL (probably Quebec) next season. He may not be a first overall talent, generational, etc etc, but he has all of the tools to project to be a great NHLer.

I have no issues with second gen hockey players. It’s becoming more and more there with how expensive the elite track is.

 

[Trojans86]

Great. He has pro written all over him. Really strong skater, two way beast

Awesome. I know the family really well. My kid grew up playing with him.

That’s awesome. Reminds me a ton of Jake Sanderson when he was with the program

Not sure why you guys are talking about the NTDP and Jack Hughes when this is Carter Meyer’s thread- a future Quebec Rempart

Meyer and Nelson feel like guys that have pretty good cases to be draft eligible players on the WJC team next year.

between the two, who do you feel has the highest upside as a future NHLer?

They are on the outside looking in but a lot can change in 10 months. They should both be at camp

I still bang the drum for any kid that agrees to start his career with the NTDP should play 2 years. That's fair to the kids and the program. It runs me the wrong way when a kid makes an agreement and then shuffles north.

Stick to your word or don't come to the NTDP at all.

That being said, I'm glad to read all the positive comments about Meyer and hope he sticks with what he started.

I think Meyer has more upside but probably not as safe a ceiling. Nelson’s game is more complete in my opinion.

I will be shocked if he isn't with his brother in Quebec next season

I hope you're shocked and I'm not disappointed in this kid.

Speaking about Freddy, his improvement over the course of the season has been really impressive. He started the year as the 6th-7th defenseman, without any PP time, and now he's on the 1st defensive pair and on the 1st PP.

 

[Rogie21]

25-29-54 in 55 U17 & U18 games. Top 10 for the 2027 draft?

At this point, you have to think so.

I hope he never plays for USA hockey again. Same for anyone who can't stick to their word to their own country.
