He is a big (six-foot-three, 181-pound) forward who has had seven games in the WHL over the past two seasons. He put up 58 points in 67 games for the Silvertips last year and turned 20 a few months ago. Did Ryan Hoffer really hit a guy with his back, deflect an oncoming hit, and then draw a penalty all in the same sequence? Yes. Yes, he did. #BearWitness x #WHLPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/6WZiEK8nlv — Everett Silvertips (@WHLsilvertips) April 26, 2022 David Gucciardi – LHD, Michigan State (NCAA) With the 213th pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, the Washington Capitals are proud to select David Gucciardi! #CapsDraft pic.twitter.com/cvv40nqpz9 — Washington Capitals (@Capitals) July 8, 2022 Gucciardi is another overachiever who went undrafted last year, played his first season at Michigan State and is now part of the Capitals organization.
