Not sure Harper moves the needle a ton for me if the plan is to bring him in this year. I don't see the need for small, young, offensive defenseman on this roster

Now this is the type of speculation I can get behind. Let’s speak it into reality

The Clark and Hall rumors came from a parody account, so disregard those unless another source has put them out there. Magnussen and Boser are the only legit rumors I’ve seen. Not sure who the third would be

I think he’ll be a good player for them. I always liked his game

Brasen Boser in the portal. North Dakota native who led ASU in TOI. Wonder if we give him a look. Left handed defenseman, so not necessarily a huge position of need

Klee is a head scratcher to me. He played quite a bit as a freshman, including over older players in the FF. He wasn’t an elite offensive player in Junior either, so I’d be surprised if he expected to be a top six guy in his first few years no matter where he went

He’s probably not going anywhere where he isn’t guaranteed decent minutes, and I don’t think we offer that

Never mind, Murr to Minnesota. That's tough. They will be stacked next year

I hope we are targeting Evan Murr hard. There will be talent on the backend next year for sure, but too much youth

I'm not worried. If Jax continues to post good results I'm sure the school will give him an extension that pays accordingly

The Ruck twins and Tanner Klimpke, or another older forward, would be a great hall. Not even sure we have that much room up front, but if we could make it work that would be perfect.

Wheeler and McMahon both saying Potter is likely headed to Michigan State. I think we can probably cross him off the list

Hopefully flames management wants the same!

Ludtke is an interesting one to me. He looked like a stud at Omaha, but his production really fell off at Minnesota. If he leaves, he’d be a very good buy-low option for a lot of teams

I personally didn’t mind playing Klee over Littler. I thought he brought more physicality and better forechecking presence. Basically the types of things you look for out of your 4th line

If he hits the portal I hope we go after him

Yeah I had problems yesterday as well

I’ve had trouble getting the website to load all day

If we don’t take a portal defenseman, we’ll have no seniors and just two juniors. That’s not a recipe for making a tournament run

My thoughts exactly. If there’s a high end junior or senior d-man available in the portal, I think we need to be all over that. Preferably a righty

Totally agree that he needs another year for the same reasons you say. Glad to hear that about Conroy

Not saying it’s likely, but I don’t think we can assume Reschny is back. I personally don’t think he’s ready, but he plays a very pro style game and who knows what he/Calgary think would be best for him

Yeah I’m just assuming other improvements as well. Guessing Larson trims the fat and adds 1-2 more portal d-men. I also think we see them get 1-2 big CHL names. The checkbook will be open after this year’s disaster of a season

Holy cow. Well you can pencil UMTC back in for the playoffs next year. That's basically Cloud's 4 best players (other than Gross who turned pro)

Could be on his end. He's from out east, so not exactly a traditional recruit for them. Bob leaving might have made him reevaluate and look at some options closer to home
