I´ve seen a topic about Hartzell already. I´m wondering about Slubowski in goal and Brendan Rempel, Spiro Goulakos and Steven Seigo on defense. Could anybody help me out here?
Thx in advance!
Goalies that I like are Troy Grosenick, Andy Ilse, and Parker Milner. I'm sure there are others.

All three have had their struggles this season, particularly Iles. His struggles coupled with the fact that he's so small may not attract a whole lot of NHL interest.
If Grosenick and Milner can return to last season's form (or close to it) for the remainder of the season, they will continue to get NHL interest, probably more so.
To the person asking about Slubowski. He's not a big goalie, but has real sound fundamentals for a college goalie. He's been a little off his game of late, but I wouldn't consider it to be anything to get worried about unless he really begins to slump - and I just don't see that happening. Slubowski is very calm in the net and has shown that he can step up in big games and/or at key times.
Sustr definitely, but Schmidt's size might deter a few teams. Just saying....
DeKeyser is still on just about every NHL team's FA wish list too.
Some other collegiate FAs that NHL teams are looking closely at (and keep in mind that not all of these guys are seniors and this is NOT a complete list nor are the players listed in any particular order):
F Antoine Laganiere - Yale
F Eriah Hayes - Minnesota State Mankato
F Drew LeBlanc - St. Cloud
D Shayne Taker - Notre Dame
F Rylan Schwartz - Colorado College
and F Ryan Walters - Nebraska-Omaha (from what I know/have heard, there are only a handful of NHL teams looking at him right now, but since he currently leads the nation in scoring, I've included him)
Schmidt is 6' 195, which is decent size, I could see him being a Keith Yandle type of player. I didn't realize teams were looking at Leblanc and Hayes, but Schwartz and Walters would not surprise me at all, they can both really play.
Any chance Dean Chelios, a forward at Michigan State and son of Chris, gets a contract? He's been to some development camps with the Wings but his brother, Jake a junior defensemen may be better.

I imagine they'll both get invites somewhere on their names alone.
Dekeyser's former head coach, Jeff Blashill, is an assistant coach in Detroit now and I feel like I read somewhere that there was some connection between him and Jim Nill, the Red Wings' Asst GM, although I'm not sure on that.
Haven't seen him mentioned earlier but it seems like he flies under the radar but just keeps piling up points. Will not overwhelm in anyone area but plays tons of minutes for the Saints and has been steady throughout his NCAA career.
Realize his measurables don't compare favorably with some of the drafted prospects in college hockey but his production would certainly merit at least a look in someone's camp.

His shot is overwhelming. In my years participating and watching college hockey I have never seen a player with a singularly better wrist shot than the one he has.
If anyone has any particular interest in a long write-up on Carey, Flanagan, Hughes, I would be glad to provide one. Watched them all for their full careers.

On Carey for sure...
Guy who scores 2 vs. Quinnipac... Always impressed when good players can perform against good teams.
