Les autres Estapa intéressés?

Not the most sexy stats in NCAA

He plays on Michael Hage’s team so they definitely saw him play a lot this year. Throwing darts

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I was sorta expecting us to give Martin Lapointe's kid a tryout, I guess they felt Estapa is the better prospect ( which I think he is , from my few viewings at least).

It's an AHL PTO don't think they see him as a prospect. He's 23 they're probably just looking for a guy who will grow in the org and give it all for the AHL team. A guy who wont be a journeyman but someone who will be part of the AHL team like Condotta.

 

[Habs4Life]

why not a guy like Quinn Huston instead of this guy?

Boston University's season isn't done.

He can also play another year in college if he wants and probably has a lot more offers on the table.

I'm using the term prospect in a very general sense here, trust me '' A young-ish guy they can use'' , if you prefer.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

So he can play regular season games but not playoff games.

4 Years of college with the same stat line is wild tho

I guess we can say he's steady

From last year, but gives you an idea what type of player Estapa is:

Mark Estapa's position versatility giving Michigan depth

Junior forward Mark Estapa on the No. 11 Michigan hockey team is a vital asset to the Wolverines through his faceoffs and physicality.

Not every 'signing' is a MUST HAVE CANT MISS prospect who will turn an NHL team into a contender
People have trouble with that unfortunately

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

What's his personal connection to Hughes or Gorton?

Family friend?

What's his personal connection to Hughes or Gorton?

Family friend?

He played with Hage, so they probably just liked his game. It's just a PTO. There's zero commitment.

There’s A LOT of Michigan fans very happy for the guy, don’t know his story but it looks he didn’t have it easy.

You would still expect a player in his final season to improve the numbers he had in his second season.

They see something in this kid...I hope it works out for him.
