Might be just me but I don't think the team will depend too much on EJ for offense and shouldn't need to (any added offense will be a bonus definitely) . As long as he can maintain and keep improving his stopping on the defensive end he'll be playing his role to a T. Excited to see him keep taking steps. Him and Zmolek have the potential to be the shut down anchors on the pairs they are on.

As a comparison - I think people forget that a !@#$ ton of freshmen don’t even play in CFB their first year - they either play sparingly or redshirt. And the freshman that do play a lot are freak athletes (really college hockey is a similar story once you look at it)

To expand on what Schloss said he didn’t say it’s a done deal either way. He is just guessing (like yall said) based on the offers that he’s heard thrown around for McKenna. For what it’s worth the gents on the called up prospects pod seemed to think he wouldn’t just take the biggest bag (safe to assume he’s gona make plenty of money in the show) The number one aspect is the school is going to have to sell him on how they can better him as a hockey player. Could just be them being naive but who knows

I’m a little more optimistic than most. Naurato seeming to be kinda incompetent might help us out in the recruitment. We’ll hear his commitment in the next 1-2 weeks after the memorial cup is over. He’s gona get some ridicule for going the NCAA route so don’t blame him for waiting to commit post CHL season
