Ugh. Berchild to Denver

What is the upside for Canadian junior A? Their niche right now is retaining eligibility for NCAA, seems they are in the same boat as USHL and NAHL. NCAA could assist/incentivize Liberty, Navy, SFU, URI, Syracuse, Delaware and anyone else where the rink is already there to make the jump. D3 schools are a big winner here too.

Possibly the quickest decommit and recommit ever. Committed to Princeton last month.

Yep. They both played too much too young, repetitive stress injuries were almost guaranteed.

Sorry for the garbage link.

He dropped in the draft due to injury concerns is my recollection.

I'm very much on board with this rebranding of FSN rather than Bally Sports.

NIL and roster management? Just follow college football's lead.

Who can we make our GM?

Michigan State getting more blue chips is the most notable shift.

Bill Masterson wasn't a special player, but the tragic death is why he's memorialized. Gaudreau coming back when he was NHL ready and being the most clear cut Hobey winner in my lifetime is also worth something. 80 points in the modern era is like 120 points in the 80's.

Yost is high on my to do list; can anyone confirm if it's as special as it seems?

One of my favorite articles ever written about college hockey, worth revisiting today. https://www.si.com/nhl/2016/03/16/johnny-football-manziel-johnny-hockey-gaudreau-career-timelines

Good to know, figured if he's testing free agency it was of his own volition. Don't get me wrong, what he did was a slap to the face of teammates and fans, but anytime a player goes the Wheeler/Vesey/etc. route it is bad for everyone in the game but that player.

Weatherby signed after being offered a spot because of a strong development camp (which was delayed because of the pandemic). Pitlick is burning the team that drafted him. It stung to lose Weatherby but what Pitlick is doing is bad for the game.

#neverforget

Their dad played for st cloud, some good old fashioned upward mobility!

Listening to it, I've gotta admit he's got a voice for radio.

Source/context? I.e. future or previous cycle?

If Bob doesn't want to deal with a hyper-engaged parent that means he has too many on the plate already. How many of their divas from Edina/sw suburbs are the kids of alumni?

Three high schools in three years. Would be great to see some stability in Fargo from him for the next few years.

He chose us over Omaha and Augustana! We reign supreme on I-29

Unlocked for the occasion. Worth a read. https://neutralzone.com/2024/07/31/ncaa-prospects-august-1-watchlist/

Miami got him
