Older birthday with less than 10% involvement on his PREP team. The race to the NHL between him and Matteo Mann will be fascinating.

When's the last time a prospect drafted from high school made it to the NHL?

 

[Strawberry Fields]

The Reading Royals will be unreal in about five years or so.

I think Noah Cates was drafted out of high school.

I think Noah Cates was drafted out of high school.

He was but without the cameo in the USHL he might not have gotten drafted.

Scott Morrow is probably the answer. Played 8 games over two years in the USHL but stayed at Shattuck and went right to UMass and then the NHL.

 

[Appleyard]

Asked a couple of people who should really know about Moline... (since I dont know basically anything)

Basically the read is that since ~2020 when he was considered potentially higher end he just has not developed that well.

Good skater. NHL physical tools.

BUT his hockey IQ has been lacking at every level and his puck skills etc have just not really came on much since he was 15 or so.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

Should be challenged in an offensive league like the BCHL. Don't see anything wrong with this 7th rd pick.

 

[CerpinTaxt]

Hmm Austin Moline who is that *checks stats* Dman 6'4" 200lbs. Ah, checks out. I mean 7th rd pick and all but geez is this org easy to predict.

6’4”, so better than Buium, right?

Why

 

[GKJ]

This will be an interesting study because his BCHL team is one of the ones moving over from the AJHL. Of course there is so much turnover in that league as it is.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Brooks is always dominant. Don't think the league change will matter much for them.

Didnt Brooks win the BCHL after they made the mid season jump?

Brooks also has like 90% plus of their roster committed to D1. They aint no joke.

Pull up the Mann thread from last year. Same thing.

No need. Not the same to me. So no real reaosn on yoru end? Just love the crapping on a 7th rd pick who 99% never heard of or seen play.

Lets here who you would have taken.

I think it was an unofficial tournament. They didn’t switch leagues in the middle of the season.

How about the players on his own team who were better? Just like with Mann.

they left the AJ. unofficial or not, Bottom line is they will do very well when next season starts. they always pull in the talent.

Such as? Surely you have a scouting report no? Throw out some names. I am done as can see a ban will be coming for disagreeing.

It's amazing how many people here think I ban people for disagreeing. I rarely even warn. I typically delete. It's never happened.

Other mods take action and I take the blame rofl.


Also, Drake Murray for dmen. Like with Mann, Moline's not even one of the better players on his team. They're just taking guys based on size alone without a care for actual quality

 

[FLYguy3911]

At least they can play the long game with this pick unlike Mann who is going to play in the Q as an overager in his D+2 and likely won't get a contract when his rights expire next year.

Drafts are about future potential/upside, not right now potential. Nothing wrong with the pick.

He doesn't have have future potential or upside. Like Mann. That's the whole problem.

Says the guy who never heard or seen him play. He is a 7th rd pick. So there are zero expectations to begin with. Again nothing wrong with the pick.

You could pick better players instead of size. It's shit process. Zero attempt to luck into someone
