Daniel Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Articles on Miles Wood and Santini at the World Juniors for those looking for a small ray of hope. http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=34921 http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=34878 And a question that maybe has been answered here before: has there been a player that has followed Wood's early career path (overage prepschooler that hasn't been on the USHL or US Development Team) that has turned into an effective NHLer?

Here is that article if anyone is interested. Some quotes on Wood: "You see his size, just his physical stature is unbelievable," Osiecki said. "But his skating really, you notice. You wouldn't look at (his age and still being in prep school) at all. He jumped on the ice and fit right in, so that's hats off to him." "I know his camp with New Jersey went well, so the more we thought about it we said we had to get him to this level of competition and see if his game rises up," Johannson said. "For us, these first four days are really critical for him to be playing at this level but also to see what kind of impact he can make here."

thefiestygoat Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Would be amazing if he can somehow make the team since that would be the only opportunity we'd get to see him play. Fortunately, BU has the game archived and available to stream on their site here. I'm going to try to watch it tomorrow or Monday. Some other prospect (mainly Wood) news: http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/2014/12/20/7426067/usa-world-junior-team-bu-standouts-miles-wood-noah-hanifin-jt-compher Miles Wood - Not sure if he'll make the roster, but Friday night's performance certainly won't hurt his chances. He was lined up with Eichel on several shifts and looked very solid. As Mark Osiecki commented after the game, he didn't look like he's been playing against prep school competition all season. He's a real good skater and plays with an edge. http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/2014/12/20/7427565/2015-world-juniors-who-will-be-the-last-four-cut-from-us-world-junior-team That probably leaves forward Miles Wood on the outside looking in. Wood has acquitted himself well at camp, and proven worthy of his surprise invite, but it's a deep group at forward. 2015 OHL Trade Deadline Preview As the calendar year approaches its conclusion, that can only mean one thing. The OHL Trade Deadline has almost arrived. This year, overage players must be dealt by January 8, while the deadline for all other players is January 9. Ryan Kujawinski - Kingston Frontenacs Every year, there's an OHL trade deadline move that leaves a few people shaking their hands. Quite often, a player is moved that people don't anticipate. This year, my pick for that player is Kujawinski. Kingston is a decent team, but they aren't likely to make much noise in the playoffs (don't have the depth). When Sam Bennett went out for the year, it really ruined the chances of Kingston to be a big player in the East. The team still has a decent core of 96's and 97's who could make the team quite strong again next year. Kujawinski has never really developed into the player Kingston thought he would become when they acquired him (for Ryan Spooner). But he's still having a decent year and should have a fair amount of value (because I expect him to be back in the OHL again next year). He could be a great pick up for a contending team looking to add offensively (I look at London, Guelph and Niagara especially). Prediction: Kujawinski goes to Niagara for Zach Wilkie and draft picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefiestygoat Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Miles Wood scored against Germany on Sunday. You can see his goal at at 1:04 of this YouTube video. The US takes on Sweden tonight in the final pre-tournament game and Wood is listed on the fourth line which is certainly better than being the extra forward. He's made it to the final cut so hopefully he plays well tonight and earns a spot. Santini isn't playing tonight but is expected to be cleared fit for the tournament.

Triumph Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Yeah I watched 2 periods - Wood was the extra forward so he hardly played. Looked decent when he did, but so did everyone, since BU was basically crushed. Good to hear he may be earning the coaches' trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 USA defeated Sweden 10-5. Looks like Miles Wood made the team as the last 2 forwards cut were Jeremy Bracco and Cole Cassels. The US still needs to make the last cut on D - I suppose they are waiting till they find out that Santini is 100% good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
