I was excited about his hiring last summer, but looking at it closer, Sheahan has the potential to turn Notre Dame into a player development machine.

I saw a tweet from the USHL which named all the top-five NHL picks in recent league history. All of them either played for the NTDP or were on Sheahan's Chicago Steel teams. He takes players who are passed over for the highest level as young teenagers and turning them into NHL/NCAA top prospects.

Consider Josh Doan. He came to Chicago with an obvious pedigree, but was just a sixth round USHL pick. He then had a mediocre debut season and went undrafted in the summer. Year two under Sheahan, Doan becomes a surefire prospect and a second-round pick. Now he's in the NHL.

There are a handful of other stores just like this one. I'm excited for the Sheahan era.
