Not opposed to trading 3rd to grab him (Had him at Hawks #138 in several mocks)

We shall see if he becomes something down line or if it's just a small gamble that doesn't pay off

if the BCHL sucks so much compared to CHL i see lot of players moving over doing great . they don’t see to overwhelmed lol
I don't see many folks on here saying the BCHL "sucks". There are a lot of CHL/USHL caliber players in the league. Pridham is a 19-year old 3rd round NHL draft pick and a commitment to a major NCAA program, he should be performing well in the OHL.

Just curious. With the new rules is he still planning to play college hockey or is he set to sign a pro contract?

I wouldn’t be surprised if he trys to make AHL next year and if Chicago thinks the best thing for him is to return to Kitchener for an OA year he does that. With this new rule he has lots of options between AHL, OHL or NCAA.

I bet he goes to college as he wouldn't have gone to the OHL right after the agreement allowing him to play in college went through. Regarding the AHL vs. college, what's the rule on CHL players being eligible for the AHL? Don't they have to be at least 20 at the start of the season to play in the AHL if they played in the CHL? Don't know the exact rule.

But here's the other thing. If your choice is between living in Rockford and riding buses between crappy cities in the midwest or living in Boston, being a bigshot on campus for a year, and getting a chance to get somewhat of an education, what would you pick?

He would be considered an overager next year in the OHL which means he can go anywhere he wants really.
