I Ranger

Not sure he's a sure bet to come in next year either unless he really has a good year in the W. He could definitely be pushed back to make room for England.

I really hope that is the case as well. After watching the Hlinka, I really want to land England and also not have Michigan keep loading up.

I have a feeling this wasn't what scpa had in mind?

Ok thanks. That was pretty much what I was asking as most of the Euros seem to play pro in their native country before coming over so wasn't sure if he would even be eligible (which is obviously a whole other can of worms).

Nice I liked basically that whole Hlinka Canadian team. Is Jonah Neuenschwander college eligible? I wonder if we would target him? I know there were rumors of Chyz going after some of the Swedes (Command) last cycle but obviously not working out.

I've had those same three penciled in as the third (shutdown line) basically since Lindberg transferred over as well. I think Reschny and Zellers need to play together just not sure who is the right fit on the other wing. I've thrown around potentially Kernan on the wing with those two if he isn't needed at center. I thought Magnussen was more of a scorer/known for his heavy shot?

I agree but I've certainly learned to trust Jax and Chyz even though it always sucks to hear nothing at the start of a recruiting cycle. One thing I harpen back to is that one year ago this time, no one was even mentioning the Rucks as top flight recruits and look what happened 9 months later. But I do think we are very targeted on who we go after and I would imagine that list is Schultz, Pue, England, Thompson, Cripps.

I really hope that we didn't get Caroll and that England is the reason we wouldn't have room for him!

Yeah he's a really good one. Wonder if we were in on him or not? Really curious as to who our main targets are currently? I would imagine Schultz, Pue, Cripps, England and Thompson.

I'm guessing we haven't offered him yet which is why he committed to Western? Just a pure guess though just thinking we would have been a favorite if so.

This may sound dumb but I've always thought it may have been a good idea when Jax took over and had the foresight to see a GM at UND would be highly beneficial that they kind of kept it under wraps and still just called it an Assistant Coach so it may have taken other schools longer to catch on. I know GM's in college basketball and football have been around for a few years now and the college hockey world would have obviously caught on but just a thought I've had since Chyz was hired.

Everytime I watch Canada at the Hlinka the more I want Brock England to commit! Kid can absolute fly and has some good hands to go with it. Really want Cripps too!

I'm curious to see if these two might be a package deal too. Would be huge for any school to land them both and hopefully UND is in the mix! Like you state though, most likely at least a year away from them committing.

I sure hope we are still after England as the very little I watched I liked his game especially his wheels! I know we had been rumored to be on him and I know that Dane had been out to Seattle recruiting as late as the weekend of the NCHC championship which I assume was for him.

Craig Button listed his players to watch for Canada at the Hlinka/Gretzky cup and 5 are uncommited. I would imagine these 5 (at least 4 of 5) would be main targets for us. Maddox Schultz, Liam Pue, Brock Cripps, Brock England and maybe to a lesser extent Alexis Joeseph based on logistics?
