Herter was never going to come here for a lateral move. -

No -
It’ll get signed, that’s 100% certain. I’m just curious what the reasoning behind this is.

With a veteran coach like Jax at the helm, I like it. -
He hasn’t. Agreed to a term sheet. Contract is not officially inked. https://www.wdayradionow.com/sports/unds-jackson-yet-to-sign-contract-as-next-mens-hockey-head-coach/
-
So Jax hasn’t officially inked his contract… weird.

8 applicants. But I imagine Smaby had the job if he wanted it after being a finalist for head coach. -
Yet they know people will still pay for it because it’s the only way to watch out of market games.
-
I wonder if Komzak ends up withdrawing from the portal… I saw a picture of him in a team workout recently.
-
The schools will lose money on this so I don’t think it’ll happen. They’re more likely to just keep NCHCtv with Sidearm sports and forego Nationally televised games.
-
Schlossman says the schools make most of their dough from the regional streaming broadcasts through NCHCtv, not the CBS games
-
Seems pretty odd.
-
Appears that the rumors of a rift in negotiations between CBS and the NCHC were true. Sounds like the NCHC is likely to go without nationally televised games for the next 2 seasons as they want to negotiate the streaming and national deals at the same time. ESPN+ in 2027?
-
Schlossman says he’s an NHL pick this summer. I guess we’ll see. Interesting a guy who gets passed up for 197 other junior player would be drafted.

Play him with James and Rickwood and it won’t matter -

I’ve seen multiple highlights of how Zellers can throw off a goaltender in close. Has a really good shot, but also really good hands to score in close. -

They’re not going to find that in 1 player. This is going to be a tough, deep team, not a high scoring skilled team. I would be shocked if they have a 20 goal scorer next year. -
Those guys aren’t CHLers though. Michael Misa, Matthew Schaefer, Porter Martone, Caleb Desnoyers etc are unlikely to play college next year. But if this rule had gone in effect for this past season, I’d imagine they would’ve considered playing college the year before their draft. It doesn’t matter when their birthday is, it’s about playing college before they are drafted.
-
Yes. I’m saying the top picks will not come to college after their draft year. They are likely to come before and play a year before the draft.

@RhettRingers mentioned he may be in the ineligible boat the other day -
This better not be for an auto bid. That’s a joke if it is.
-
I think the top picks are likely to do more what Celebrini did and what McKenna is rumored to do. Graduate high school early and play college before your draft year.

Yep. They’ll be in their ear for the entire process. Ultimately the player makes the final call, but if someone is telling you what’s best for you that you trust the whole way, you’ll probably have that as a heavy factor. -

Swanson is a pass first, undersized forward. He was destined to have a rough freshman year.
