A couple of names I want to see more of as I think there is more there than their current rankings:
Caleb Malhotra: which you guys have already talked about, but is showing a strong two way game, seems like a really smart player.
Alessandro Di Iorio: I think I am higher on him than most, but another smart player, seems like a very good skater. Hasn’t gotten into many games this year, so we will see how his game develops.
J.P. Hurlbert: The numbers jump off the page, but yet he is a player I haven’t heard many people talk about. I will have to dig deeper to find out what the concerns are with this player.
Brady Knowling: I was pretty surprised by his play, big goalie, moves really well, very athletic. He could be one of those goalie’s that get drafted in the 2nd or 3rd that go onto be a star goalie. The US is turning out some top notch goalies lately.
