33 and JBD for Sergachev? Actually I think I'd want a Right shot D-man so not sure Serg is the right player to go after.

We went through this with Wolanin, i think kids playing an extra year of NCAA is something to keep an eye on, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. We have until Aug 2022 to sign him.
Also, UND was the betting favourite to win the the national championship, I’m sure he wants to go back to capture the ship.

Honestly, with the pademic condensing the season, it might appeal to guys to get an extra year towards their degree done, particularly if they are unsure if the AHL will play.
Is JBD taking a legit degree, or is it a case of just going through to motions to keep playing?

Look at their returning players. Every one of last years juniors are returning for their senior year. It’s obviously a tight group and they truly believe they’ve got something special and have what it takes to win a championship. The organization knows it’s only going to be beneficial in the long run for his development. Sure, it would’ve been nice if he turned pro this year and played in Belleville, but can you really blame him for chasing a championship? The sens have a ton of faith in that program and know he’s in great hands with Brad Berry.
Plus, it’ll be great to start developing chemistry with our 5th overall pick

I wouldn't worry. It's not like there are any valid reasons why the Ottawa Senators wouldn't be desirable franchise to play for.

Other teams would easily outbid the sens for that, think Brannstrom, 28, 33 plus a forward prospect.

JBD isn't ditching the team. Let the guy enjoy college for god's sake. So many fresh fruits to pick if you catch my drift.

Yea and we've had great relationship with players from NCAA recently. White, Norris, etc.
Exactly, this. I am a UND fan(North Dakota resident) and I believe if the 19-20 hockey season didn't get cancelled, I think JBD would've signed at the conclusion of it. However, since the season was cut short and with the upperclassmen being very close, I believe they made the decision to return to have a chance of raising a 9th national championship banner for UND.

How are people feeling about JBD right now?
He's one of my favourite prospects and I was extremely high on him when we drafted him. That said, I've cooled just a bit on him and I have a hard time projecting guys that play his style of game. His offense seems to be based around his shot which is very good but not elite, and I wonder how well it will transfer to the NHL level. I had been hoping that he would develop into a player closer to Sanderson, who I see as a better skating, more dynamic version of the same kind of two-way talent.
Personally, I see his ceiling as a #3-4 guy and floor as a #5-6. Or possibly as a guy who can play in the top 2 as a "safe" partner for a more offensive-minded guy like Brann.
Agree?
Disagree?

JBD is a guaranteed top 4 D who may develop to be able to play second fiddle to Chabot on our top pair. He plays like Redden with a little less offence.

JBD is going to be a steady 3-4 guy. Not flashy but definitely not dull. Just the perfect level of spice to make your meal delicious.

My thoughts are that we shouldn't peg him as the future #2/Chabot soulmate that we all hope he might be. That's a huge ask.
And while I think hes an awesome prospect and have reasonable amount of faith that hes gonna be a good player for us one day. I'm thrilled that we took Sanderson at the draft tbh.
Sanderson is basically the player we want JBD to be imo (different sides I know), but hes an elite version of him. Sanderson will be the only dman on our team besides Chabot that can anchor a pairing on his own, and match up well against the NHLs best forwards.
JBD will be able to play some hard minutes and hopefully not look out of place in his prime, likely as #4 kinds guy. Anything more than that will be a huge bonus imo.

Totally agree ... I think he is one of our most over rated prospects by those who pencil him in as a 1-2D... especially when elevated far beyond players like LT.

What are you basing the overrated part on. He led the D on One of the top ranked NCAA teams. He was very solid at the WJC. He’s a guaranteed top 4 NHL D as a floor whereas Thomson is a question mark in my eyes.
