There are multiple Chicago/London connections. I expect him to play in London this year.

 

[ReLyT]

Was a bit of a rollercoaster. Sportsnet aired a special on the NDTP and Nazar was talking about how he thinks its the best development program out there. Then he gets drafted by the Hawks and we know he idolizes Kane. So... I'd say there's a decent chance now.

Nazar to Chicago…Mark daughter sending a favor to her dad?

Meghan Hunter is Mark & Dale's niece.

 

[Matt93]

Not many Knights drafted this year. Brochu passed over again.

 

[LDN]

how does Sim get picked and not Crane?

What type of players is Jackson Edwards? Just inquiring as he was drafted by the Bruins.

Hey Bobber,
Rushing D-man possibly being groomed for PP (Hunter experimented with this in pre-season when kid was a rookie). Feisty, chippy, gets under the opponent's skin. Wish he was more disciplined.

Bujold - Columbus
Brochu - Vancouver
Edward - Boston
Nazar - Chicago
McGurn- Toronto
Crane-?

Flores to Detroits camp

I don’t see Flores on the Detroit roster

Surprised Gazizov didn’t even get a camp invite

COLUMN: Logan Mailloux's second chance begins now

"I hope that she does understand that this is something that I live with, I think about it every single day," young defenceman says.

Next Knights star!

 

[nelli27]

Mailloux's shoulder still hasn't healed. With Habs, non-contact.

 

[cupcrazyman2]

Still a little upset with return for Colton Smith but they need to get the Finnish kit to come over. He will get scouted here more and help his draft status playing in OHL. I hope whoever drafts Nazar wants him in the OHL

Kid sounds like he's a pretty good player & it would be good to see him over here.

Bujold isn't top 9? Is he that big of a bust?
