Haven't a clue as to what standard NCAA is, but going by elite prospects it must be pretty damn good, as 3 of his team mates from Wisconsin have made the NHL.
I'm hoping this guy turns out to be pretty good for the Flyers.
Signing now confirmed by Fife Flyers, he's now officially a Flyer. ;D

Did anybody really know if Hogg, Haines or Carriveau were going to be any good.
Turnbull hasn't had much professional experience but Wisconsin Badgers are one of the best university programmes in the USA and 7 players from that programme, who he played with, have all gone to the NHL so that tells you the standard he has been at.
Its an opportunity for him, just as it is for the others named here, to put himself in a shop window for his career and it gives us a natural centre for the second line who some Maverick fans are disappointed to be loosing and it will be a wait and see for us with him. Just as it was with the rest of our new imports this season and look how well they have turned out to be

That wasn't having a dig its a simple question to anyone on here that follows hockey in those leagues. I don't want a debate just a opinion from someone that might actually know.

He has been playing 3rd line centre with Mavericks but lately his ice time has been limited.
Here he will be second line and used on the powerplay so his minutes will be greatly increased as will his responsibilities so his role will be totally different from what he is used to.
Probably the answer to your question is who knows until we see him play

Getting on your high horse because someone answered your question with an honest answer + a few details to back it up. If you want to see him play so bad, go search YouTube (no pun intended) or some game highlights! Looking forward to this weekends Sheffield/Nottingham trip, will be interesting to see how podge plays against the big boys and how quickly he settles in.

It's going to take him a while to get over jet lag and get used to the systems. From the game highlights I seen, looks a good signing from a good background

Typical response from some belters on here. Ask a simple question and get slagged by a couple wee fools that would run away greeting if u weren't behind a keyboard. Cheers to the guy who said you've seen some highlights and he looks pretty good.

Ironjaw, you need to be clearer exactly who you are adressing in your posts. I think most on here would agree your consistently agressive tone point to either serious self esteem issues, below average intelligence or both. Unless I am mistaken you are also behind a keyboard.
