Top Potential UFA NCAA Prospects

[CheckingLineCenter]

Anyone know much about Jackson Pierson?

Kid hopped straight from prep into Hockey East and has done well statistically on a bad team. Every report cites athleticism. Not super old.

He could (and almost definitely will) go back to school but just a guy that’s always intrigued me from afar. Was curious if anyone had followed him more closely.

EP indicates that he has considerable NHL interest but will go back to school.

Alex Limoges, Penn State

Was just checking out the Nittany Lions to see how Aarne Talvitie was doing and noticed their leading scorer isn't drafted. Looks like he has decent size and is originally from Virginia but I don't know much about him.

Signing a PTO with the san diego gulls according to the anaheim board.

just a PTO for Limoges ... really?

According to PuckPedia... the Ducks have 52/50 contracts (how can they have two over the limit?). I guess junior contracts slide?

My guess is that teams are right up against the contract cap this season.

Yep, Drysdale, Tracey, and Perreault all slide eligible

Steeves just signed with the Maple Leafs

Thoughts on Dryden McKay and Adam Scheel?

Would think tonight's shutout would confirm McKay status as being a legitimate prospect.

Any rumblings as to which team signs him?

Hope Detroit, their goalie prospect group is quite empty

I’d love him in Toronto. Everyone knows we need goalies

Anything on Kiersted?

Nick Blankenburg, D, Jr Michigan

Undersized and overshadowed by underclassmen like Owen Power.

But has he ever been in a development camp and does he have pro potential?

I was pretty impressed with him last year. Less so this year. Could get an AHL deal, but I don't see more than that.

Friedman seconding the earlier tweet indicating that Florida is a likely landing spot for Matt Kiersted.

Here is some perspective on what all of UND's seniors, and one junior could do. Been right on Kawaguchi and probably Kiersted.
Projecting the future for the 8 UND Men’s Hockey Seniors plus one junior

Anything on Kiersted?

He is making his NHL debut in FL vs CBJ tonight.

Any other players projecting to sign ELC's, either drafted or not?

Ben Meyers and Blake McLaughlin look like worthwhile gambles, but they are also eligible to head back to school.

Here is a UDFA about to go to college, son of Dmitri,Alexander is a really smart player that has gone through a lot to get to this point, and is a player on AIC worth watching. He will eventually replace the UDFA they lost, Brennan Kapcheck Alexander Tertyshny: Learning, growing, and leading

 

[Breakers]

Any other players projecting to sign ELC's, either drafted or not?

Still 4 teams left

Ben Meyers: He's available right now but is weighing options. Quite a few teams in on him

Akito Hirose, a mobile d-man for Minny State would probably be considered the most in demand prospect left.
he's a freshman but an old freshman.

Dryden McKay who is going to win the mike richter award and is a finalist for the hobey is a goalie who should get a contract.
Not sure how the NHL views him with his undersized nature.
I'm 90% sure hell get a contract and not a Tryout.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Any chance for Carl Berglund and Ludwig Stenlund to get a AHL contract? Their stats are pretty good and they have size.
