Probably true but I don’t know if he’s a high end goal-scorer at even strength since 6 of his 10 goals were on the power play. But he had 21 assists so it seems like he’s also a good playmaker and that’ll be especially tested and hopefully true if he’s on a line with Simpson and Kernan. I assume he’ll get a look on the power play; maybe they try him on the right flank since he’s a lefty with a heavy shot.

lol updated, good catch

It’s the time of year to start guessing so here we go Swanson-Reschny-Zellers Magnussen-Kernan-Simpson Croal-Ollie-Lindberg (shutdown line) Zakreski-Malinoski- Davis Menghini- B. Schultz-A. Schultz Carels-Emery Laurila-Verhoeff Mackenzie-Boser Dumanski-Lindberg Spoons Heil Scheiwiller I feel decent about my D pairings but this forward group is tough, especially trying to figure out who is going to sit. Kernan played great at center but could be lethal at wing this year. I’m not sold on Malinoski yet so I put him bottom 6. Predictions: Reschny, Swanson, and Magnussen a will each get 25+ assists this year with their playmaking skills. Zellers with 25+ goals, Kernan and Simpson each with 15+ goals. Good luck to the bottom 6 forwards going to war each week to stay in the lineup.

Snagging some pros is the only way they're going to be competitive in the NCHC the next couple of years.

I don't think I remember the last time we swept them in Denver. Been at least 20 years, right? which is truly wild

Fully agree with you. He will be top 4 wire to wire. And I’d assume top pair for at least the first 2-3 months since no other dman on the team is a better pure defensive dman. He’s going to be the first one on the ice any time we are protecting a late lead .

So we traded Malinoski for Homer. It's a win-win because we both got what we needed haha.

I was thinking the same thing for a while but he seems to have popped again lately

I would have guessed he was going to end up scouting or admin at the pro level. Even USHL GM would be fitting. Or better yet, stay close to the Cities and watch your son play college for a couple of years.

As time moves on, that 2013 natty just gets weirder and weirder. At the time I was a little surprised but at this point I’m just bewildered. Talk about taking advantage when you had a glimmer of hope. Thinking of the scary good teams of college hockey the last 20 years that didn’t with a natty yet somehow Yale did it with a decent team.

Can’t blame him too much for taking the opportunity to play with his brother. Guessing it didn’t hurt that Nodak will be the much better team on paper

Up until 2 weeks ago I was assuming Davis was going to be riding pine a fair amount of the season but now it’s anyone’s guess. We are going to have some great college guys sitting out each night.

Kernan will be a big offensive threat too. Guessing he will tuck 15+ goals as a top 6 guy this year

He's getting the C, that's my guess. Second guess would be Swanson. I'd go Croal with the C, Swanson, Reschny, and Emery get the A's

Looks like they've found a new song for pre-game warm-ups
