He has a TON of hype in USAH circles and has already signed a contract with the NTDP.

@chrismpeters: MA-born D Noah Hanifin committed to the NTDP U17 team for next season. One scout told me Hanifin was best D he's ever seen at NTDP tryouts.

 

[Skylimit]

actually drafted by Quebec Remparts in 2nd round.

 

[Kirk- NEHJ]

Best player I have seen in New England prep ranks at his age, period.

(Does not include Leetch, Roenick, Amonte, etc.- did not see them play at that level)

 

[Mathletic]

So far there's no sign of him wanting to come over. That said, still plenty of time to make him change his mind.

Remparts also drafted goalie Calvin Booth who's thought of as having good potential. Also said to go the NCAA route.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

The Remparts convinced Duclair, Erne and many others before them.

They'll get him and Booth.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

The list of players they didn't convince is way longer than the list they convinced...

Chances are probably pretty slim. Duclair, being a Quebec native, probably wasn't as hard to convince.

Booth also is a Qc native. Only left last year

Touché !

Duclair had a strong commitment, Montreal and QC were the only places he would play and he wanted a deal that covered his BC.

 

[Cedream]

I think Booth will report to QC

 

[Mathletic]

Hanifin family has met with the Remparts. They're waiting for the announcement of the Remparts new HC/GM early next week before making their decision. Philippe Boucher is rumored to become the new HC/GM.

 

[jboyz]

Any more word on Hanifan going to the Remparts?

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Nothing so far, but if he came it would be a big boost to the Remparts Mem cup hopes.

He and Herzog coming in, plus a "rebound" from Duclair and another step forward from Erne could mean a big year for them.

 

[Mathletic]

Named to the U17 team. Can't tell if he turned down the Remparts offer for good though.

[haelwho]

My guess is he will jump to the U18 team pretty early in the season, if he shows well early. They could use a big guy with skill on the back end. He could still move to the Q in a year or two.

 

[jfb392]

Not surprising, but he's not on the Remparts training camp roster.

Also absent is the second American player drafted by the Remparts this year (Joey Dudek, 12th round) and 3rd rounder Callum Booth (Salisbury Prep).

As a Rempart fan, what can I expect from him if he plays in the Q next season? .I don't know this player at all.

 

[hockey365]

I don't think these players will be coming to Qc city. They are heading towards very strong hockey structure who'll help them develop fully. Therefore, what does Qc offers more??? Not much!

Perfect example: Gillies!

One NHL scout said he's the best defensemen he's seen at the NTDP tryouts since he's been going (which would mean he saw Jones, Trouba, Faulk, Fowler, Shattenkirk, etc.)

OK!!!!!!!!!!!!

A no. 1 Quaterback defenseman is what we needed last 2 years, gosh I hope he plays for us

Duclair had a strong commitment, Montreal and QC were the only places he would play and he wanted a deal that covered his BC.

The Q stepped in and limited the amount teams can offer for education packages to players. I believe it's $10K max now, before there was no limite. Teams can no longer compete against US college scholorships.

Unfortunately, he won't be coming to Qc. He will be well surrounded with a very strong structure, nothing additional the Remparts can offer to convince him. Unless he's unhappy with the US program.....

I find those who left the NTDP and US colleges, are those who stumbled uppon problems and things didn't go their way. Hope this happens with him
