I was thinking the same about Hain and Senden, but was thinking that as long as there are other guys like Ness to fill the role with Senden, Hain probably deserves a chance to show he has the ability to fulfill another role. Doesn’t hurt to give guys like Blaisdell and Hain the chance to show the clubs that drafted them that they are flexible, and as long as it doesn’t hurt the team, why not.

Thanks. I have a bit in cash due to transferring an account, and was thinking about buying in increments on the way down, but haven't really had the opportunity to do so. Just assumed we would be seeing more volatility both up and down, but haven't seen much on the downside for the past week or so.

So for you experts in the stock market, would you be taking profits and getting out of some positions because of the recent rally. It seems like a lot of this is just irrational exuberance over some positive signs in the Coronavirus fight, and that there is a lot of hardship to come for many companies including some whose stock has gained due to a light at the end of the tunnel.

I think he will be a Torey Krug type player, and I think they are more viable in today's NHL. I think he can make a nice career for himself like a Troy Stecher or a Jared Spurgeon. Yes, he will need to improve on the defensive side of things, but if he can make modest strides there, I think he can have more than a short stint at the top level.

Most of us are tired of just staying home, but to have to be in the midst of all of it must take a toll none of us can imagine, with the anxiety and physical and mental exhaustion. We appreciate you keeping up the good fight.

Both players were the engine of their team. Without Kawaguchi UND wasn’t quite the same, and the same could be said of Perunovich. Hard to decide between the two, so I think Perunovich had the upper hand based on the last few years.

No, I’m saying they let a backup play that doesn’t see much ice time.

Too bad that wasn’t the case for Greg Johnson against a freshman, although it was hard to argue with Paul Kariya’s year.

Which makes that all the more likely. A guy with that many shutouts and 59 minutes without giving up a goal and they don’t think he can make it less than another minute?

Or they left him in to give him the chance for a shutout, and then when that was over they gave his backup a chance to play.

The backlog isn’t really at forward because it wouldn’t hurt for guys like Bowen and Halliday to play another year. Defense I would think is the area there is a concern of losing a recruit because of the numbers game.

Also, keep in mind that guys like Coltyn Sanderson, and I believe Cole Smith started as non scholarship players, or minimal at most. Character guys that work their butts off help bring up the rest of the players.

I’m not sure if there is a limit, as I know CC carried a ton of players, it just makes running practices a little more challenging, and might take away practice time from other players, which is why they would rather have players developing in juniors with a lot of ice time and playing in key situations.

Do they still have the ability to pay in installments?

It's kind of funny, because all of the hype a year or two before they came here was all about Tychonick, not JBD. In fact it wasn't a sure thing that JBD was even going to come in when he did until closer to his draft year. It just goes to show you that things can change fast and that guys that we think would be replacing certain players aren't always going to produce. Who would have thought Frisch would play as much as he did this past year?

Berry has shown that he is very conservative when it comes to injuries, and I would guess he will sit someone with a few dings just to make sure there aren't any nagging injuries come the second half of the season when you need all your players fresh.

I'm buying those numbers about as much as I am buying some of the crazy and arbitrary numbers that I have seen thrown around on Coronavirus as a whole.

No, because that will be us in a year, if indeed guys like JBD and Pinto stay for another year.

Don’t have access to the story, but is this being considered without fans? Unless we were a month removed from new Coronavirus cases, I would think it wouldn’t be prudent for people to come here when we haven’t been hit that much so far. Would think Schlossman would be making an argument that the NHL doesn’t care about anything but the bottom line and keeping their season alive. If people are still questioning football in the fall, would think this wouldn’t seem realistic.

I thought UND lost interest in Rowe when he started talking with Major Junior teams. I actually think the Big Ten is poised to take a step forward next year, as teams like Western and Duluth have lost some key guys. It will still be a battle, but a lot more even than in the past.

When Keane is in the lineup, he is another motor guy.

Which is why win or lose it would have been nice to get that experience this year. Most guys have had post season experience in Juniors, but not in a one and done situation.

Remember when Rizzo was the prize recruit everyone was excited about? Frankly, I have no idea what to expect from him. He could struggle to be consistent at what it takes at this level to be relevant, much like Adams the first few years, or hopefully his nagging injuries are behind him and his skill level is such that he works well playing with top end talent. Hopefully it’s the latter, because I don’t know if he would be the type of role player Blaisdell was before he moves up in the lineup, but then again, the coaches probably already have a good idea where he will plug into the program. I think we have the depth if there is a bit of a learning curve.

We’ve seen loaded teams struggle out of the gate and never quite live up to expectations. The gophers were heavy favorites to threepeat but never quite put it together. We’ve seen how team chemistry can change from one year to another, but with a solid core of leaders coming back that have seen both ends of it, I like our chances for the chemistry to stay strong. If Berry is anything like Hakstol, he has already talked to the guys on the fence of coming back about the commitment required to have another great year, because sometimes when a team is loaded with talent they can assume it is going to come easy. The guys have seen what that kind of commitment can do with their turnaround last year. The players and fans should both be super excited, but I’m sure the coaches will remain all about the process, especially when things aren’t going perfect and fans are freaking out.
