Drew Elser and Mac Wiseman are no longer committed.

Ilya Usov decided to play in the WHL so his eligibility is gone.

Anyone have any projections on Schandor? Immediate impact, needs to develop but high ceiling, relative ranking, anything? He's a bit of a mystery to me at the moment.

>>... Schandor was acquired on July 22, 2019 from the Bonnyville Pontiacs. The former Salmon Arm Silverback was immediately named an assistant captain upon his arrival, and has been one of the leaders of the team throughout the year. After former captain Cody Schiavon was traded to the Trail Smoke Eaters during this season, Schandor was unanimously named captain by his teammates and has led ever since.

Hudson’s leadership has extended onto the ice, where he’s posted 11 goals, 20 assists for 31 points in just 34 games played. Schandor’s already tied his BCHL career high for points this season, in 7 fewer games (31 points in 41 games last season). For his career, split between the Silverbacks and the Eagles, Schandor has 36 goals, 48 assists, 84 points, and 77 penalty minutes in 125 BCHL games.

Hudson was elated when he was able to talk about the news. “I’m so happy and excited to be a part of such a prestigious program. I can’t wait to carry this momentum into our next game, and stay hot with the Eagles.” Schandor explained the process from his perspective, “I was getting a few hits from a couple of different schools heading into the season. However, it was clear right from the start of pre-season that UCONN had stepped forward… I got a really good opportunity to check out the campus, all the guys, and the coaches. All the people I talked too spoke about the feel you get when you step onto [UCONN’s] campus, and I was lucky to enough to have that feeling right away.”<<

From Connolly article above:
>>Previously, Bowes was committed to Michigan, making him the third member of UConn’s 2020 class who flipped to the Huskies along with Nick Capone (Maine) and Johnny Mulera (Providence).<<

So looking at that grid, in terms of impact players we're only losing 3 - Freeman, Payusov, Newpower. Is there any reason to think anyone of the drafted kids would flee to some AHL team already?

In my opinion Ruslan Iskhakov would be the player most likely to sign, it depends on what the Islanders want to do with him

 

[huskymedic]

Daniel Connolly of The UConn Blog is reporting that John Spetz, a class of 2020 offensive minded defenseman, has committed. From the brief write-up it seems that he is a great get. One of the top defensemen in the class.

That would be the biggest mistake Ishakov and islanders could make. Ishakov is so not ready for pro hockey. Both physically and skill wise. He would not be able to compete at the AHL level, never mind the NHL.
