Jubs would be my guess. Was the odd man out all season it seemed. He certainly has skill, but will wonder if he will be the odd man out again next season with the skill coming in.

Agreed. I think defense is looking pretty good with those four plus MacKenzie + CHL stud "TBD". Strathmann takes on a more offensive side (he's got it in him with his skill and skating)...Laurila was a huge surprise this year, he's poised to be a very very good NCAA dman...Verhoeff takes a jump...Emery is the shutdown guy with a pile of minutes.

Next season roster so far. Probably a couple of signings...probably a couple of portal entrants...hopefully the core group is back to make another run + with some excellent new additions: Forwards (14 of 15): SR - Menghini JR - Andrew, Croal, Littler, Swanson SO - Josephson, Kernan, Klee, Reschny, Zakreski, Zellers FR - A.Schultz, B.Schultz, Simpson Defense (8 of 9): SR - JR - Emery, Jubenvill, Strathmann SO - Engel, Laurila, Verhoeff FR - Lindberg, MacKenzie Goalies (3 of 3): SR - Sandy JR - SO - Spunar FR - Heil

You're writing off an entire new staff due to a single one-goal loss in the F4, a place where they finally led us back to after a break of 10 years. It was a tough loss after a really great season. No need to panic. Let's see how this offseason goes, because I think it will be even better than last offseason.

Wiebe to sign: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/unds-abram-wiebe-to-sign-with-calgary-flames

Michigan with 52 SOG. Whatever deal with the devil that Carle made, hopefully it is over soon.

I’m sure he’d like to work on his finishing as well. He has great vision and a strong 200ft game. Getting double the goals he got this year would be fantastic.

Yep. DU getting all the calls

Not with him playing at 60% effort and doing blind passes to the opposing team in the defensive zone.

Brilliant idea. That would nip it really quick

Works for me

Tied

If they score there I think they end up winning.

Add Carels and MacKenzie and the blue line is loaded with chippers. Get the Ruck twins combined with Simpson already committed and we’re having another fun season.

Perron looks much smoother this year. Must be how he looks when he’s not already mentally checked out

Lucky bounce for UM

If another Rickwood type shows up in the portal, I’d take him in a heartbeat

I have faith.

Yeah I was wondering about that as well.

And these silent commit studs to be announced.

Big task for next season. Get the PP up to task.

Score a PPG or two and this game turns out better. Still got massively outplayed in that 1st. Proud of this group. They helped bring ND hockey back.

Bass is really thumping during warmups. Walked from the hotel to the arena with Bryn’s parents. I told them how the fan base was stoked with his offseason. They said the “fun has just begun”.

So many UND fans here. Great to see!
