Prospect Info: Mason West - Michigan State commit & state HS football champ

[u2wojo]

Nathaniel Bott (@Nathaniel_Bott) on X I cant pull it up on my desk top but a MSU hockey writer wrote that despite the Trade West is still coming to MSU in the fall.

So Portland is gambling he won't get ice time and they have a chance to get him later

so Portland is throwing away a 1st round pick just for the hell of it?

seems odd to say the least

There's no way they are that incompetent. There has to be more to the story

I think it’s a conditional pick.

Conditional first. If he plays with Portland they move the first. If he doesn’t they only lose a 7th.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Why doesn't he change colleges?

I went outside all weekend actually, now I’m sunburnt to all hell and inside freaking out if West going to JP us

So then they're not really banking on him coming at all

still, looking at that Michigan roster, I'm really not sure that's the best place for West to be

Michigan state

yeah that's what I'm looking at

Hextall, Potter, Klepov, Belchetz, Lee, Lindstrom, Vansaghi, Romani

West is a 3rd liner at best on that team, and my guess would be he starts on the 4th line

 

[clydesdale line]

Not sure why people are freaking out.

It's the Jack Pridham effect.

which is where the condition on the 1st comes in?

Most likely Portland is just taking a shot at talking him into going there. Little to lose, the condition on the 1st is likely that he reports to the Winterhawks.

 

[MHO]

Maybe there's a small chance he's not happy with his ice time at MSU? I think Duncan Keith did something similar where he went from college to the WHL.

 

[kmwtrucks]

Seems like a odd fit. why would a guy that grew up in Big ten country goto Portland Oregen for a year? he was football/hockey player from MINN. he does not seem like a guy that is afraid of a challenge and understands were he is at. he seems like a guy who grew up wanting to play in the big ten. so he has a slower first year and stays for 2. 3/4th line first year and 2nd line second year. MSU has such better facilities then WHL portland also way better teammates to push and better competition and he starts working toward a degree. I hope im right
