Now, let’s look ahead to Team B.
Two free agent forwards to keep an eye on with this team are 25-year-old Martin Ljungh from Sweden and Alexandre Fortin, who was eligible for the 2016 NHL Draft but was not selected.

Anxious to see Debrincats game next level. My guy that im watching is STILL Soderberg. Hopefully he can take a step and turn into a legit prospect, at 20 and a defenseman with size and skill he has great upside.
Love to see how Radke looks, guys got some size and had a solid regular season up at Barrie, not so good playoff run this year, but might have some potential.
Watched some of Debrinkcat living up here and paying more attention to the OHL/WHL than ever before (QMJHL doesn’t interest me as much….) and that kid for his size just seems to always be in great position. Hard to teach or explain, but he’s in the right places and has a damn quick release too. Thing about scoring goals is that regardless of the level, you’re generally shooting for the same areas of the next (top corners and 8″ off the ice above the pads). If he can shoot like that, he can definitely translate to the next level.
Tuulola for me.
Jimmy Schuldt was a fantastic leader for the Omaha Lancers and has continued to impress at St. Cloud State. Good to see the Hawks are keeping tabs on him.
SS-Air Force goalie… BIG with some great numbers…
I am guessing- D Cat is going to impress versus Prospects
