After a down year as a sophomore at Northeastern he has started the year with six goals in his first 10 games after transferring to Western Michigan.
With so many young forwards emerging in Anaheim is there still a place for him in the Ducks' future?
You mean down year in his junior year. Colangelo needs to be scoring at a bit higher rate than this at his age. He went scoreless in his last two games this past weekend.
The Ducks are in need of a scoring RW and a PF player is a plus. There's a pathway for a middle six role for Colangelo with the NHL club since we're lacking top-6 talent in the system, and soon in the NHL. At the summer Dev camp, Colangelo looked like a youth hungry for an ELC. Physically, he's ahead of many of the young forwards in the system.
Freshman, Northeastern: 8 games; 0g + 3a = 3 pts ( 0.38 ppg); -3 rating
Sophomore, Northeastern: 29 games; 12g + 15a = 27 pts ( 0.93 ppg); +8 rating
Junior, Northeastern: 35 games; 9g + 15a = 24 pts ( 0.69 ppg); -4 rating
Senior, Western Michigan: 10 games; 6g + 3a = 9 pts ( 0.90 ppg); +3 rating
Colangelo needs to pick up the scoring pace to stand out.
