Of course they will. It's not some magicians trick where this kid could only do this in the NCAA. This kid is a rookie. He keeps embarrasing Seniors. Guess what's going to happen when it takes a year or less in the AHL for this kid.

 

You could only have a negative opinion of him if you never watched him play.

Wow. Jump down someone's throat eh bud? I do not have a negative opinion of him at all. If anything I have been one of his biggest fans/supporters.

Not so sure moves like that are going to fly at the NHL level. Then again most people didn't think EP40 would translate to the NHL so quickly. Not saying Madden is EP....

Awesome! Canucks have back-to-back beanpot winners.

I have not seen Northeastern play before. I enjoyed tonight's game. Madden looked great, especially considering he is only a freshman.

I am probably guilty of home bias, but he looked to me like the best skater on the ice. On his assist he reminded me of Quinn Hughes - great skating with quick changes of direction to set up a quality scoring opportunity.

 

I was also interested to see him trying to play a physical game. I saw him attempt a hit against a guy who must outweigh him by a good 50 pounds. He sort of bounced off but he still made an effective defensive play.

 

He could have made a better play on BC's second goal (I think it was the second goal) but he looked great overall.. Maybe Benning should have said "why has nobody taken Madden", when he was still there in the third round.

 

I was happy to see Andrew Alberts doing commentary between periods. I always liked him. He had his career ended by a sucker punch and resulting concussion and the guy got a one-game suspension, which I thought was outrageous, It should have been more like 10 games. Anyway, glad to see Alberts looking healthy.

Pls don't mention the AA story(Alberts)..the media have decided it's unimportant. Better to forget about all them concussed, peripheral, grit types. Heck, they're suing this great league..sorta' enemies of the game! Wasn't his missus a lawyer? eegads..trouble there.

 

SNet of course have been focusing on McGratton tellin the young guyz to put down that beer can...NOW mister! Now that's newsworthy! Featured him on the boobtube & website, of course! Then the next moment, some beer company is selling you(& your buds) a flashing red light for when your team scores!

 

Ads, false narratives, lackey complicit culprit/heroes(with a lil' revision) & dirty media wh*res. It's a maze of conflicting storylines, so thankfully THEY tell us who the "good guys" are.

Madden looks to be another steal by JB's scouting team (Bracket etc). His dad was a high compete, high character, integral defensive specialist for the Devils, also had great wheels.

 

Once this kid puts on some muscle, if he continues on this trajectory he may be better than Guadette. He's showing better at an earlier age. My guess, 2 more years in the NCAA, end of the 3rd he's signing. Looking forward to watch him develop over the next 2 years.

From a Q&A with Corey Pronman at The Athletic (LINK - need subscription though):

 

Q: Where does Tyler madden get drafted on a redraft?

A: Mid 1st.

Madden will become a top six winger for us, if not a top two center.  Guy is super smart, super skilled, and super competitive.  I would expect him - in a couple years - to make one of Bo or Gaudette expendable in trade for a top four (younger) D man.  A lot of teams usually need top two centers.  JB, or whomever our GM is in two years, will be trading one of our top young centers, and getting us (from a team like the Flyers, who have a lot of young top quality D) a top younger D man.

Gaudette+Juolevi for Provorov? ::D

Serious question Alf: how many times have you actually watched Madden in a full game?

 

I honestly think you have not watched any but I may be wrong and feel free to correct me.

 

You are comparing Bo and Gaudette in your post??!!  That is friggin horrible at this point in time. Maybe Gaudette will continue to get better but right now he can continue to carry Bo's jockstrap around the locker room....because he has not shown very much to date.  I hope that changes.
