Harper,
who was second in scoring for the Terriers last season—37 points in 38 games—and
a Hockey East All-Rookie, is ranked the Nashville Predators’ #18 prospect by Ontheforecheck.com
.
THFB contributor Neal Boudette spoke with incoming freshman and second generation Terrier Brady Tkachuk.
Brady Tkachuk: Relentless
By Neal E. Boudette
Brady Tkachuk has not yet turned 18, hasn’t
played a game of college hockey and won’t be drafted for another 10 months. But
he’s already emerged as a rising star in American hockey and a likely pick to
make the USA world junior team.
In preliminary games at USA Hockey’s World
Junior Summer Showcase, the incoming freshman has a goal and an assist, but
seems to create a scoring chance almost every time he’s on the ice, either with
his skills or his intense, relentless, physical play.
One NHL scout told me Tkachuk is “an absolute
lock” to make the USA team.
Even before the WJSS, he was projected to be a
2018 draft first-round pick, with Future Considerations
ranking him at #6.
