Nice. Portal pickups should be complete with that. -
You don’t think that team could still win a championship?
-
They’d be so skilled and fun to watch though

My thoughts exactly. If UND gets Magnusson, then any other portal pickups after that means that a CHL player fell through IMO. -
Nice replacement for Hampton.

These are higher end grindazz to replace our departed grindazz. Chippaz will be announced by end of next month. -

Yeah I'm viewing Lindberg & Magnussen as replacements for the departures of Klee/Littler. If both can provide more scoring punch (and PK skills) from our 3rd/4th lines, that's fantastic and would make them upgrades. If Bryn can lock up two high end CHLers with some scoring punch, our forward group looks stronger/deeper than last year. -
That would be great for us…one less suitor for LD

Talk about a mind-blowing visit coming from BSU.

Wonder if he has a DNC tag on his portal entry? Certainly seems like he would already know his destination. Either way, I’ve never been overly impressed…give us Carels and/or DuPont any day over him.

Brad's article on Lindberg. First bros to play together at UND since the Poolman’s. Also liked to read that Lindberg was CC’s most utilized forward on the PK. Will help replace James PK minutes. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/moorheads-gavin-lindberg-to-join-his-brother-at-und-next-season?fbclid=IwdGRjcARN0TRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeHlvuWA0Cn9hUHlQVpPoA9suZ606F5AAqmLDfSkUs2AuBEHLcGj3IK4jmW4k_aem_gJSal165CzhdZ2e68-VkRg -
If it ends up being Lindberg and Magnussen, those are two good replacements for the Littler and Klee departures. Then it’d be great to get two CHL high enders to complete the forward group.

Added Lindberg. Lindberg was 3rd on CC in points, 2nd highest TOI for forwards, and also led the team in +/-. I wonder what the Lindberg jerseys will say on the nameplates next season? Gavin and Garrett doesn't make it easy...can't just put 1st initial like the Schultz boys. Three forwards and two defensemen to go for Chyz and Co. Forwards (12 of 15): SR - Menghini JR - Croal, Lindberg, Swanson SO - Josephson, Kernan, Reschny, Zakreski, Zellers FR - A.Schultz, B.Schultz, Simpson Defense (6 of 8): SR - JR - Boser, Emery SO - Laurila, Verhoeff FR - Lindberg, MacKenzie Goalies (3 of 3): SR - Sandy JR - SO - Spunar FR - Heil -
Lindberg from CC is now at UND according to Tyler Young.

Welcome aboard Gavin Lindberg! Great pickup for the staff...will be a JR. Liked his game at CC. Might get a little confusing with multiple Lindberg's and multiple Schultz's next season. -
Congrats to Cooper on being a finalist. Guessing that Pelletier gets it (more goals and points), but Simpson should be a good one next season. Adding another guy that can snipe is always a plus.

Wonder if WI losing Finley and Montgomery helps steer Wiebusch their way. Certainly can't hurt with them having a couple lineup spots opening up.

He's a big boy, for sure. 6-5 and he's still only 18yo. Goal scorer, scores over 1/2 gpg in the OHL. Will go top 10-15 in the draft this year. Similar to Carels in that he follows/likes posts related to UND on socials. -
Next year could be sweet. Two Schultz Two Lindberg Two Ruck

Imagine if Strinden could have continued his torrid goal scoring run that he had in the early/mid this season? He was lights out for like a month there and then only scored 4 goals the entire 2nd half. -

Zellers - Reschny - X Swanson - X - Simpson Josephson - Kernan - Zakreski Menghini - Croal - Schultz Ex - Schultz, X, X Wiebusch, Magnussen, Lindberg from the portal would all be good. Ruck twins, Belchetz from CHL, also a guy like Zakreski (more unheralded) would be great for lower lines. -

I'd settle for Wiebusch and Ruck twins for top 9, then Magnussen for lower. Haha. That would be a crazy stacked group.
