    Jaxson Nelson too, he’s a big guy. They turned over a ton on D but they’re young guys are studs too. Mittestadt played PP last year so I’m sure he’ll get a look at QBing that top PP. Mittelstadt, koster, Chesley, Rinzel…their D core should still be fairly high end. I’m sure they have some new guys coming in that can play. Gophs are reloading the right way.

    I’m assuming there’s already a home :)

    sounds like either Wisco or maybe msu…but that just reading some Twitter comments

    On CHNs last podcast of the year McMahon mentioned that every portal entrant he spoke with said they want to go to a Big Ten team. Not sure what sort of selection bias was applied, but NCHC seems to be dethroned in the eyes of current players.

    If the season doesn’t go great next year and Strathmann is playing ushl, I’d be a bit concerned that he flips to UM or MSU (home state/B10). Based on what he’s doing in the USHL, he comes across as very ready for the next step. If his team wins it all and he’s logging these huge minutes. Id say bring him in to be safe. 
     

    But as others have mentioned, going back to juniors would not hurt him, he was a bit streaky at times. Could work on his D game more I suppose. His +\- has always been solid bit that metric can have its flaws when assessing players D. I mean…Sam Rinzel played juniors this year and was a 1st rounder. Situation was vastly different however.

    Isn't he from suburban Chicago?

    First thought I had when he name dropped MSU and UND was, I can easily think of a handful of other teams who’ve been equally “aggressive” (aka, active) in the portal. Bentley, Northeastern, Miami, UMass Lowell, and probably many others. So why single out MSU and UND? 

    Howard is a pretty obvious answer. Wodon claims he was expecting Persson to transfer to UND since January, so maybe he heard about something around that time.

  5. A former beer league teammate had a son who wanted to play in the BCHL after SSM but couldn't get one of the few roster spots allowed for Americans. Weatherby had to list his mom's address in the Puget Sound in order to qualify for his spot on Wenatchee, the one US-based team in the BCHL.

  6. Keep in mind that St Thomas and now Augustana are the only private schools with hockey between the front range and South Bend. And CC/ND both have high admission standards. The ability to play close to home at a private school will appeal to lots of suburban skaters in the cities.

  7. If Fenton signs a lengthy contract with penalties for leaving, by all means go forward with it. That means he's trying to make college hockey its niche. Just remember what happened when the Gophers thought they were bigger than the state of MN.
