Mentioned in this video
Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta are joined by David Carle fresh off another National Championship at University of Denver. He opens up about what life has been like over the past month, the evolving world of college hockey recruiting, player development, and navigating the transfer portal era.
Carle also explains what separates great college hockey players from prospects who can immediately help an NHL team win. Plus, he gives fascinating insight into projected No. 1 overall pick Gavin McKenna, breaking down Denver’s recruitment of the phenom and why he believes McKenna is “ultra dynamic” with a “wizard-like” feel for the game — even comparing aspects of his playmaking ability to Nikita Kucherov.
Additionally, Carle discusses some of his favourite NHL coaches and addresses the ongoing speculation surrounding his own NHL future, explaining why he’s currently very happy at Denver despite the intrigue surrounding a possible jump to the next level.
