Seeler vs. Molenar

I will admit, I only saw the games that these guys played during the State tourney, but I will ask this question to those who have seen more from these two.

I noticed that Seeler made the All state team, (not that it truly matters) and Molenar didnt. From the 3 games that I saw EP play last weekend, I was much more impressed with Molenar.

Can anyone elaborate on these two?

It's actually Molenaar.

Molenaar is more flashy and likes to line guys up, but Seeler is steadier will probably go further in hockey.

I didnt see enough of either to really judge, but I did really like how Molenaar played

After hearing a lot about Molenaar, I went to the HM vs EP game and he didn't do much to impress me. Then I found out he was playing hurt, and that is very difficult to do, especially with hip problems. I wish him the best in his recovery.

Are either of these players already hooked up with a team for next year?

Seeler is committed to UNO, not sure about Molenaar

I don't know how much EP hockey you watched this year but I watched a lot and it's definitely the absolute opposite. Molenaar came out of his shell a bit at state but usually Seeler is the guy who will go out and throw is body around more. Personally I would go with Molenaar because he is an unbelievable puck handler and not quite as over-aggressive offensively than Seeler. You can find Seeler pinch all the way down behind the net if you watch him. Molenaar also has some more big time experience, he captained a USA U16 or U17 team in Europe a couple years ago. You can't go wrong with either though, they both are great players.
As far as what Molenaar will do next year, it was rumored that he turned down an offer from UNO with Seeler because he wanted a better academic school. Again, just rumors, but my guess is that he plays juniors next year and looks for an offer from a good school.

Both amazing Offensive skilled players. I'd say Seeler is a touch better in his own zone, and a more intense player. Molenaar was a captain and Seeler wasn't this year.

I think Seeler is a hair better of a player, and love how he plays with a huge chip on his shoulder....think molennar will play d-1 but I would rather have seeler on my team if I was a coach.
