  1. Yep. Gonna be very hard to figure out what to do there. I wonder if putting Ollie at 4th line center is the best option? I don't think you can break up that 3rd line after what they did in the regional, but Ollie is probably too good not to play. So to me swapping him in for Littler might make the most sense. No easy answers here though
  2. That would be a deadly duo for the Pios. They will score plenty of goals next year if they get Preston too
  3. He has also said he tries to model his game after Jonathan Toews. Let’s hope that includes going to the same school
  4. Yeah, totally agree. Even if we could afford it, as I've explained in other comments, I think the money would be better spent elsewhere (not a knock on him, great player obviously)
  5. If the number is actually 7 figures, then I would guess we are comfortably out of the running
  6. Oh man that gets me excited. Command, Carels, and an older forward out of the portal would be a perfect haul in my opinion
  7. Command would be very interesting, as it looks like he has played his whole career in Sweden thus far. I can’t remember the last time we brought in a freshman who had no previous experience in North America. He’s a great player though, so I hope they can make it happen.
  8. It’s funny because he also was scratched for all the important games at 4 Nations and the Olympics (rightfully so imo). Maybe he just doesn’t play well when he puts on the stars and stripes lol
  9. I think when people say “regret” they generally mean that another year at UND is probably better than any pro option short of playing full time in the NHL. So, when a guy leaves early just to be a full time AHLer or lower, it does make you wonder if they wouldn’t have been better off sticking around here. This is an even more valid argument now that guys can get paid to play here
  10. I’m no expert, but my uneducated opinion is that his chances are slim. The NHL doesn’t like sub-6 foot defensemen at all. Stretcher has made it work, but his physicality and compete were both a clear level above Livanavage’s. No hate to Jake. I think he’s a great player and would love to have him back. Just my amateur analysis and I’d love it if he proved me wrong
  11. Never say never, but I highly doubt it
  12. This is where I’m at. Obviously you don’t say no to a player like DuPont, but with the commits we have lined up, you have to ask yourself if it makes sense to spend the money at that position. When you look at next year’s roster and where the holes will be, it probably makes more sense to devote resources to finding a Rickwood and/or Reschny replacement rather than go all in on someone who doesn’t play a position of need
  13. I hope you’re right because he’d be a huge add. Also Gopher fans are convinced they’ve got him locked up, so that would make it extra sweet
  14. OK State, Iowa State, and UNLV would all make a lot of geographic sense for the NCHC if they ever decide to make the jump. I know in the current landscape more schools are cutting than adding sports though, so it's probably just a pipe dream for now
  15. DuPont, England, Cripps, Jacobson, and Fitzhenry should all be on our radar. Although given Jacobson's dad owns the Wheat Kings, I'm not sure he'll even play NCAA
