I'll take Lammy for the first game. Go Sioux!
-
I think Frattin's return could really jump start VandeVelde. I think the one thing missing for Vande has been a big winger that can forecheck and get the puck so it's not always him doing it. I would like to see Frattin join Gregoire and Vande on that top line unless they decide to go with Malone-Vande-Frattin at some point like the end of last season.

VandeVelde tonight. Go Sioux!

Malone for me Friday. Go Sioux!

It's been awhile since I posted one of these, but this is the potential rosters for 2010 and 2011. Usually expect 15 forwards, 8 d, and 3 goalies. In summary, expect a couple of early departures in 2010. We maybe have room for one forward / one defense recruit in 2011. 2012 is where the action is. We know the Sioux are recruiting Jason Clark, Sahir Gill is going to BU, Nolan Zajac remains available, there are a couple of Bruneteau brothers that play D, and others have been spotted on the bench. I just don't know what to expect from Fink, maybe I will catch a Waterloo Game.

2012 - Doesn't matter because the world is ending, BUT
Forwards 12
Defense 5
Goalies 3
I think Mattson and Rodwell come in next year and St. Clair will play another year of juniors. I think they may bring in Fink but let him know it will be tough for him to crack the line-up and possibly have 16 forwards next year and leave quite a few to come in the next year leaving a huge logjam in 2011. I don't know exactly how it works but I have to wonder if Frattin comes back that he won't be on scholarship which would leave more scholarship money to go around elsewhere which would allow more forwards.

I'll take VandeVelde for friday night. Go Sioux!
-
As expected, Sahir Gill committed to Boston University.
-
Anyone know who the recruits were on the bench Saturday night? I believe that there were two there talking with Eades and Pierre.
-
Kristo for tonight. Go Sioux!
-
I'll take Gregoire tonight. Go Sioux!
-
I'll go with the guy who got me knocked out in the last one VandeVelde for Friday.
-
I think the Sioux are interested in Sahir Gill from Chicago as well.
The Sioux are interested but I'm pretty sure he will be Boston University bound. I'm actually surprised he hasn't committed yet which may be a sign that he is waying his options a little bit but I still say he heads to BU.
-
Exiled, it looks like Jutting is making a run at him too (should be the first article on home page, "Rookie Ronsberg taking Manitoba League by Storm"): http://www.wildcatsjrhockey.com/
He's a July 91 Birthdate making him 18. I would guess the only way he comes here would be as a 2012 recruit since it seems like we are quite full for 2010 (Mattson, Rodwell, Fink?, St. Clair?) and 2011 (Fink?, St. Clair?, Parks, O'Donnel, Nelson). I think he would have to play two more years of juniors if he wants to play here.
-
First time in second round for me as well. I'll take Hextall tonight.
-
I'll go with Gregoire.
-
The best jerseys in town as of right now.
I'm with you here. I haven't seen the men's black yet but I like the looks of these the best.
-
Do you think with St. Clair committing this means we are out of the running for Sahir Gill? Unless Gill or St. Clair along with a few other committed recruits are willing to wait until 2011 to come in.
-
isnt it van voorhis thats on the sioux radar? cant remember if thats the one though
Yeah that's the one. I believe the Exiled One mentioned he thinks he will end up here. I think he is originally from North Dakota but moved to Edina and played there until obviously moving on to the Development Team.
-
I think you see them (VV and Malone) together to start the season as Hak will be looking to develop line chemistry.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to see something like:
VV, Malone and Kristo (I think he is too dynamic not to play right away)
Toews, Gregoire and Trupp
Zajac, Cichy and Hextall
Lamoureaux, Rowney and Knight
D pairings
Genoway and Blood
Marto and Fienhage
Lapoint and MacWilliam
I kind of like the look of those but I would switch Cichy with Rowney or Bruneteau to have kind of a grinder/shut-down line of Hextall-Zajac-Rowney or Bruneteau with Lammy, Cichy and Knight as another line. Lammy could fit very nicely on that shut-down line as well but may need to center the fourth line instead.
Also I am wondering if Hextall and Gregoire stay on a line together as they played the last half of the year together with Duncan and played quite well.
-
With the loss of Frattin now, how do you guys see the line combos playing out? Does Frattin's dismissal mean VandeVelde and Malone will both center lines now rather than Malone playing on Vande's wing with Frattin? I kind of like Malone on wing rather than center but he may be needed to play center.
-
I was informed that we're interested in Blake Thompson, who played for Sioux Falls in the USHL last year. I'm not sure as to the degree of interest though.
Any clue if there is interest in Nolan Zajac? Just wondering since the obvious connections and I figure if we're looking at D he would be one. Although it seems like we are quite full for D until 2011 with Mattson and Forbort more than likely coming in next year.
-
Anybody know if there is anything going on with Matt White? I see he isn't listed on Heisenberg's recruiting site under USHL or listed on North Dakota recruits. Did something happen or is this a mistake?
Just saw on Brad's twitter account that he won't be playing for Lincoln this year and he is contemplating hanging up the skates. It's looking like with the addition of Knight this year and White possibly quitting that we now have some availability to add a couple forwards to next years class.
-
Extremely disappointing if you ask me. Frattin was poised to have a big season, and I was looking forward to seeing him skate with Malone and VV. But I guess you can't fix stupid. It does make me wonder if Corban Knight is getting a phone call though.
It's going to be quite difficult to get someone to campus now with school beginning next week. I sure hope so though since 13 forwards is rather low.
-
Anybody see Brad's blog? Yikes! Not a good start to the season.
