To be clear, Moore is only a top 3 pick if he commits, goes without saying that if he indicates the USA route, that he will be a mid round pick
Don’t think he’d be a mid-round pick, even if he attends, and makes the NTDP. I think the talent is worth the risk in the first round.

If he commits, great, you get one hell of a talent. If he doesn’t you announce the pick as defective and gain an addition first round pick the following season.

Mid first round is what I was referring to. I’d personally take him over Schaefer if he committed to the OHL, but knowing what I know about the kid, USA route seems to fit perfectly.

Wonder if Saginaw gets the Memorial Cup hosting duties if they’d be the type to take a flyer on him in the first? Getting to play with Misa in one of the highest profile events would be a heck of a recruiting tool.

Yeah, I think Sawchyn sets a precedent that a player can go USDP and then CHL. I think for a team to take Moore that there'd have to be some sort of deal in place like Dickinson last year.

Sawchyn was a very weird situation though. Have no clue why someone who has no US citizenship was allowed to play for the NTDP. Wish we could get an explanation what happened there or what the plan was.

I think in his thread it was mentioned that his parents could have a problem with the ntdp and thats why also switched

Yeah I'm not sure what happened there. Apparently he is American but has Canadian citizenship. The USDP even calls him a Minnesota native but EP says he's from Alberta. Guessing his family either moved or lived there.

Anyone know if there still a $50k buyout a player needs to pay if they leave a year early?

Yes they moved to MN
Which is weird because reportedly he holds Canadian citizenship. How he was eligible I don't get unless the USDP isn't focused on being for just homegrown players, which benefits their chances with NHLer sons who's dad spent 3 months in New York after a trade, they just can't blame them internationally.

While I don't think we ever had a definitive answer on what happened with Sawchyn, he would be the first case of a player being on the NTDP without American citizenship that I can remember in nearly 2 decades of following the program.

Never say never but I'd be surprised if he didn't have citizenship. He was a good prospect for the program but certainly not of the elite variety where you'd imagine the program would be tempted to do something they've never done. Or if he didn't have citizenship, I could see it if it was a case where he was already in process of trying to obtain citizenship (a long-term process he would have had to have started long before), all parties believed it was something about to happen so they selected him, it fell through for some reason, and they mutually parted ways.

Yeah, all I know is that he had Canadian citizenship but he either didn't have or was applying for American Citizenship. I still think Moore could do the same thing and play for the U17 and go to the OHL depending on what happens with his rights.

If you see notable names on the Camp roster but not competing they're outside of Moore likely injured
