RW Bryce Brodzinski - HS-MN, USHL (2019, 196th, PHI)

[gopherman23]

Thought I would start a thread on him since he is still a bit under the radar.

Height- 6'0
Weight- 197lbs
Shoots- Right
College- Minnesota (committed)

Stats 2018-2019

HS- 26gp, 35g, 49a, 84p
USHL- 8gp, 3g, 7a, 10p

As you can see he put up massive numbers for his HS team and was over a ppg for his USHL team back in the fall. He'll have a good shot to climb the rankings if he puts on a good showing in the MN State Tourney and the USHL after his HS season ends. He is very likely going to win Minnesota Mr. Hockey as well.

Had him on my radar for a late pick.

Great numbers and easily worthy of a pick, but you need to consider that he’s an overager.

Yeah he is. He'll be 19 when he steps on the ice at Minnesota next fall. It will be interesting to see where he does get picked. Has a chance to raise his draft stock in the next couple of months.

His status as an overeager doesn’t move the needle too much for me. He has put up great numbers everywhere he’s gone, and he’s a senior and high-school. Could be a good pick IMO, He doesn’t have a part of his game that would hold him back from being able to climb the ranks, but he has to prove he can be a good player with a bigger sample size.

Being 18 years old as a HS senior makes you an over-ager?

Being eligible for a previous draft and not being selected makes you an overager...

He's an overager by a little more than a month, so it's not that egregious. He turned 18 last August and to be eligible for last years draft you had to turn 18 before Sept. 15th.

He will be getting some eyeballs on him over the next few days as his team, ranked 2nd in State, enters the MNHS Tournament. 16,000-18,000 people will be in the stands watching him , and all the games will be televised. I would think he would be worth at least a 7th round pick. If he shows well on the big stage, who knows?

The title of the thread should be changed to 2018 undrafted. Its misleading to list him as 2019 draft.

Asked the same thing on the Flyers' thread.

Any articles?

There is a tweet in this article that essentially says so.
