Haven't heard much about him lately, but it seems like he's picking up where he left off last year. 3G-3A in 4 games for St Cloud so far. Anyone gotten eyes on him this year?

He'll be playing on FSN+ tonight. Might take a gander.

Wi + Gophers doubleheader tonight?

Wi + Gophers doubleheader tonight?

Yeah. And BC (Boldy) is on NESN if anyone has access.

 

[TaLoN]

I posted this in the general prospects thread on Saturday

 

[Wabit]

My first thought was, "Which Nintendo is that?"

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

He scored.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

And a couple helpers.

Not bad.

Another goal in the 1st against Princeton. Kid's unstoppable.

I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but I’m starting to not regret us passing on Pastrnak.

So, he has already matched last season's point total, 20, in about 60% less gp. Feel like we aren't talking enough about this guy, especially considering team needs. Decent size, RH C/W(?), tearing it up in a better, more defensive league than the CHL.

Anyone with eyes on him this year that can comment on his game? Has he just been lucky, or is he really good?

Oh, and just realized that most of the Hentges i know have had shoulder surgery, also.

None of the people that watch/know him have spoken up, so I've been forced to pencil him in at 2C next year.

KaprizovSaveUs knows, but refuses to talk about him. I think they call it "recusing"...very ethical poster.

I think that’s a logical conclusion.

 

[MuckOG]

As a youth player he was extremely small, but very aggressive. He was the kind of player where the puck always found his stick and he had a knack for goal scoring. Once he hit high school he grew about 6 inches and with that he was able to play a more physical game.

 

[StateofCelly]

 

[thestonedkoala]

YES!

Is he going to stay at center?

 

[AKL]

Not sure how much upside he has, but glad we got him signed instead of letting him walk. Does anyone that watches the NCHC know if he still plays center?

I've seen him on their game day lineups listed at RW and LW, but not at center in recent memory.

Thank you. Kind of figured that would be the case with him. Still good to have him signed. Iowa has no surplus of young players.

 

[57special]

mildly intrigued.

 

[Sota Popinski]

Hentges is a player. I bet he plays some NHL games before this contract is up.
