I hear you, but it still baffles me how someone couldn't have pointed out the prediction that our name would end up a color or bird, and not rule that out as being generic from the outset.

So you thought the 5 names given met the criteria?

I agree. The biggest problem I had with the whole thing was that I was certain that the writer that told us our nickname was going to be a bird or a color or combination of the two well ahead of this whole process was going to be wrong based on the criteria set. Turns out he called it perfectly because they totally ignored that criteria.

Let's face it, apartment buildings don't exactly give people a sense of community in their neighborhood, so essentially doing that did save that sense of community for those people.

Well you know Minnesota is already hot on the trail of Brink.

Hits are debatable. What Marchand has done are not.

Well, defense is what Schlossman said. We have a lot of defense lined up around that timeframe. To be honest, I hope there are two with the same name, and we got the one who wasn’t part of that debacle.

It says Dman on Schlossman’s Twitter, but elite prospects says forward, and I see a couple different birthdates on different sites. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=316129 https://www.neutralzone.net/mens/player/mitchell-miller/

Less than 90 percent save percentage isn’t ripping it up. Cam was ripped for a save percentage over 90. https://www.ushl.com/view#/goalie-stats/all-teams/62?playertype=goalie&qualified=qualified&rookie=no&sort=gaa&statstype=standard&page=1&league=1

I see that a bunch of players just signed their letters of intent at Denver. Were they trying to get the players to sign before this whole thing went down?

...and it sure is curious that with all the time that has passed since that happened, he still hasn't found a home.

Don't know, but hopefully this would help with Rizzo.

Problem is, that those that formed the pact hadn't won a national championship. Would have been nice to have a pact to repeat, but there were too many guys that were ready for the jump for that to happen. Maybe there will be a pact going forward.

I thought this was a forgone conclusion when Gibbons was staying and Oliver was to become an assistant.

Was wondering if Schlossman just forgot about him.

No Senden seems very odd, but if they think he can gain something from another year in the USHL, I suppose it wouldn't hurt.

Jack Hughes commits to Notheastern. Too bad for them it isn't the Jack Hughes on the USA under 18 team. Still must be pretty decent though.

Apparently anyone he can get!

Not a ton you can do other than trade current assets. Parise and Suter might have a few good years left in them, but if they decide to stick it out, the new General Manager is going to have to be very, very creative and not miss on any transactions.

Didn't Staal tie a franchise record for goals in a season?

Would guess the new GM won't have the convenience of a long rebuild process. If they have two guys like Parise and Suter for the long haul because of contracts, they will most likely be trying to figure out a way to change personnel around them to keep getting to the post season and finding the kind of supplemental players to get past the first round or two. Easier said than done.

Would assume Logan Stankoven is headed for the WHL, but would be nice to get a high end guy like that. If you look at all time stats with Yale, he surpasses Bowen and Blaisdell by quite a bit. http://www.eliteprospects.com/team.php?team=21082

Bet Denver is one of the teams.

What about Hain? I saw he was playing center yesterday against Canada. I suppose if they peg him as a top six guy, they will play him at wing.

Denver and UND both had 5 drafted players this past year. Denver is losing 4 of theirs now, which is the average of the number of players we lost early to the professional ranks each of the last two off seasons.
