Bryn's following list is a good peek into who he is interested in. For instance, Dayne Beuker (longtime target) and Nolan Fitzhenry (would be a major coup).

Something hockey pundits keep mentioning regarding CHLers going the college route is that they may find the grass isn't greener and rejoin their MJ team mid-season. Players seeking the biggest payday seem like the biggest flight risks.

Laurila mentioned. https://www.nhl.com/news/10-players-on-draft-radar-passed-over-in-2024

Stecher in the lineup tonight for Klingberg.

The last 3 Chicagoland commits prior to Strathmann never made it to campus (Rowe, Reid and Rowe; sounds like a law firm). I'd include Matheau but that's probably a born there, not from there situation.

Gersich's mom is a Broten

He was one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players" list for the 100th anniversary. With nearly 300 players in the HOF, he might not be a lock but he has a good chance.

One time all-star, nowhere near a PPG average. Fan favorite but doesn't have the resume.

Bonus points if the eastern school is BU (revenge for the Fargo Screwjob) or Cornell (Wodon's mea culpa would be incredible).

Watch him take the Dallas job! Haha

ABC is a pipe dream for that time of year on a Saturday night. They already have to shape it around avoiding NCAA BBall.

Wodon needing to "explain himself" after the interview was a good indicator of who won the debate.

Carle does not hold back on Wodon. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0I04dqRgJ0bWMBKoU8BMRS?si=4P_WqkQ5Ta2t36M9GhU0qw

It's very possible the coaches suggested it to him after getting traction on CHL kids.

Former NAHL GM. Every Juniors GM in North America owes Chyzyk a meal/drink for improving their career prospects overnight.

With no HoF or Icebreaker exempt games, what are we going to do this year to get more games? Another BC exhibition trip? Or a weekend in Anchorage/Fairbanks?

What you described is the definition of slated...? With the respect I have for the man I kept it vague. Based on the below quote from this article, he was allowed to leave with grace, and from what the whole article says it sounds like he dodged a bullet. "When Charlie was let go and Ken came in..." https://thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/more-pwhl-minnesota-staff-dismissed-from-toxic-and-unprofessional-environment

Drake to Switzerland

Charlie Burggraf coached Gopher women hockey as an assistant and was HC at Bethel (D3) for a long time. Both men's and women's I believe. Was slated to coach in PWHL but stepped aside before it started. He coached me in Little League and was awesome. He LOVED antagonizing over-enagaged opposing coaches; got a ton of laughs out of his team, our parents and the umps.

Is there any concern of Zmolek being especially susceptible to injury? There was talk he might have to hang up the skates last year.

Well well, how the turntables have....... turned. The number of errors suggests it was published without editing or scrutiny (Grand Forks Gazette hyperlink that literally says Herald in the url!), but the premise of expanded pay to play MJ is a sign of panic. https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/junior-hockey/victoria-royals-lose-two-top-players-to-ncaas-north-dakota-whats-next-for-whl

Spenar or whatever the Czech goalie's name is played WHL until his 20 year old season.

Had the same question; we beat out two schools with much bigger war chests, we had to offer something.

Morrow was ready but sounds like he burned bridges in Fargo. Spicer and Donovan were definitely not ready; both stepped away for mental health purposes not long after the realization set in that they should have listened.
