I would add Frankie Mork from AHA also.

Look at any team that has a poor record. That's where a lot of the under rated or unnoticed players are.

Sam Rothstein I believe mentioned before is the most underrated player. He makes more happen for Tonka than the other higher profile guys on their team. Great player

Maybe my head is in the sand, but I feel like Jake Guentzel from Hill Murray gets little press and watching him play the last 2 yrs in HS and last fall in the elite league, he is a great talent. Maybe Hill having a down year has something to do with it, but he has to be one of the best juniors in the state. Kid can flat out play. Super smart on the ice too. Great instincts. (Dad and older brothers probably didn't hurt that

)

Regarding the NWSC Sophomore players that belong to a struggling team and not all teams list the grade level of all players so I am just basing my information off of Hockey Hub and have seen the 4 players listed play for quite a few years. Coon Rapids has a Sophomore Seth Johnson which has recorded 18 points and there team is winless in the Conference. Comparing him to Blaine, Andover and Elk River that have a much better record Kline (Blaine) 20 points, Tomberlin (Andover) 19 points and Zerban (Elk River) 19 points. One would think Johnson would fair much better with more talented players surrounding him. Otherwise, there are not too many teams (including ours) with Sophomores within our Conference accumulating as many points as these 4.

When I think of under rated player here's some good play makers to watch and compare, Justin Kloos, Mick Dhein, Aaron Rich. Sorry, but I didn't agree with you, nothing personal. You have anyone else or just the one son playing?

Louie Nanne. Edina. Kids a snipe. Bet Hakstol and Sandelin wish they had offered him.

Underrated? He's committed! Are you implying his commitment isn't based on his talents?

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not, sense you also ripped on home in the thread about his injury.

Jason Samuelson from Rochester Lourdes. He has 55 points this season according to the hub.

Yes. It was sarcastic. Edina will get to the X with or without him.

Nate Flynn from Hastings. Great speed, Geat shot did pretty well in elite league too

Nice call. He is a nice looking player. He getting any USHL/College consideration?

Michael Greenberg from Armstrong! This kid stood on his head in the upset over EP with 49 saves, and kept BSM to only 4, Including stopping Besse on 3 breakaways and multiple great scoring chances. First team to keep him off the board in 12 games. Greenberg didn't have the best team in front of him and thats why his season stats aren't as good as they should have been. This tender is solid though.

#37 Junior Forward Hogan Davidson for East.

Fastest skater I've ever seen at the high school level, he is probably the peskiest player in the state, hes always after the puck.

Seriously, the kid is unreal

Throw Evan Peterson from lakeville north into the discussion. Think he hit 50 PTs this yr. good player. Complements winicki well.

C.j. looked as good as anyone from the 7AA semis. I thought the 2nd line from East played very good also.

I would put 10th grader logan von ruden in this group, very talented defenseman for an un-noticed northfield team. Higly skilled and determined.

I haven't seen him play too much since I live in the twin cities, but is he faster than Nic Simpson from Blaine because he can move his feet faster than any player I have ever seen at this level.
