Wonder if O'Neill or Lindberg are among them.

Shaw not living up to expectations was more noticeable with his dad on the bench.

The potential for locker room issues having the son's kid on the team needs to be negated by blue chip status, which he does not have. He might get drafted with a throwaway pick.

As predicted, Bauer Berry to UST

Hockey isn't the marquis sport on their campus; they've got a high ceiling, but that doesn't mean they'll be displacing blue bloods any time soon. More than anything it's an alternative to Dinkytown to play a quality schedule while living in the cities; Gophers have more to worry about on the recruiting trail than we do.

Coltyn Sanderson came from a similar league, earned a consistent role as a senior and scored one of my all time favorite goals against Michigan with the drop-tip. I hope to look back at this guy with a fond memory too.

Swankler goes to a D3 school. Quite the odyssey he is on.

He's already off some teams draft boards as it is, yikes.

I meant current college players in the transfer portal.

Then DU gets another Stanley Cup parade. Not to mention the Nuggets won it all last year. Denver is catching up to Boston for most spoiled sports town.

End of an era with Parise, Toews and Oshie done in the show.

Gaber probably regrets not signing an NHL contract after his junior year. That's too bad the previous offers weren't there any more.

I'd like to see some former Force as portal targets, they've lived in the area already and obviously have the Eades et al connection.

RIT's other top scorer in the portal.

How many NTDP kids transfer? Much more recruiting value in the current landscape than before.

Kato series and @ Bemidji on Flohockey, Cornell on ESPN+, and whatever is on CBSSN. Otherwise NCHC.tv for the rest. Might have already been discussed, but no NTDP. If it means an NCAA exhibition instead, great, but with the portal it's good to get blue chips here for a game rather than Manitoba.

Broz signed.

As a rule I try not to put down players currently on the roster on this site. I've slipped before but won't say anything negative now. If Benoit wasn't drafted with a throwaway pick we wouldn't be having this conversation. There is a whole new recruiting landscape. We may or may not have recruited a player saying if he proved himself elsewhere he could come here afterwards. Less risk all around, but keeps the have nots from keeping those diamonds in the rough.

Do we risk having a liability on the ice hoping he will develop, or do we cut our losses on the Wade Murphys and Harrison Blaisdells of the world? Roster management is very different than it was a few years ago, clearing room for proven commodities is part of the game.

Benoit had the single worst shift I saw this season. Took a bad penalty and missed an assignment resulting in a goal on his delayed call.

If you blinked you missed him.

Emerson to Merrimack
