To our 3 biggest flight risks:

Please stay one more year at UND!  We love you guys!

[LetsGoSioux!]

Ask Hextall, Gregoire, Parise, etc about staying vs. leaving early.  Work (pro hockey) will be there when college is done.  I think any of us who went to college would say they were the best years of our lives. Imagine if we had been college hockey players for UND in the town of Grand Forks!

[passit_offthegoalie]

I want everybody to come back including the seniors.

[ticklethetwine]

I have a feeling the only real flight risk at this point is Kristo. Brock is awesome but one more year in college and he will be really awesome and the same goes for Forbort. I guess time will only tell but in my opinion Kristo is probably gone, he  can sign with the team that drafted him in 2008 (Montreal) now, refuse to sign and become a free agent this summer, or return to school for his senior season as a free agent. So you can guess which option Sioux fans would want him to take.

Can we add a tag line for Aaron and Andrew to please stay as well?

I'm getting the feeling that all five will be in a North Dakota uniform next season.

What about Corban Knight?

How does everyone forget about this guy?  Most underrated, under-the-radar guy I have seen at UND in a long, long time.

Most people seem to think that he is coming back for sure.

We know how good he is, our saving grace is that he is drafted by Florida, the team with arguably the best prospect pool in the NHL.  He has 4 or 5 center prospects ahead of him right now.  As good as he is, he probably wouldn't play more than a 3rd role on their AHL team next year, you really shouldn't leave early for that.

It sounds like Hextall already did his part over Xmas break by telling the team that he regrets leaving early.
Hopefully he convinced a couple underclassmen to give it another year.

I don't think Kristo will see Hextall's chances as comparable to his.  Hextall was good for the Sioux, but he didn't have the tools Kristo has.

I hope you're right Ham , with the experience the guys left standing were forced to get this year and hopefully all the walking wounded back we would be a force to reckon with.

Let's hope they put on the green and white for one more year.

If I'm the Toronto Maple Leafs, I'd rather play and have Andrew Mcwiliam on my team and play a shut down role D than play the most overrated defensemen in Luke Schenn, who turns over more pucks than a Pee Wee player.

He is so underrated they forgot to announce him as the starting center.  Or was the NCAA politics making sure we start the game on the PK

And the Panthers are telling one of those prospects that he only needs a 1 way ticket to Florida next week.

WMU Sophmore defense has decided to stay in school. I forget his name but was the most coveted free agent this year.

Are you referring to Drew Shore?  He is a better prospect than Corban Knight in almost every aspect of the game.  I would be very surprised if Drew doesn't spend time in the AHL before making it to the NHL full time.
