Would be crazy to possibly drop the goalie that just led you to the national title game. But I get it. Hauser didn't look that great during the regionals.

Seems like the UND Hockey account is releasing returners slowly. Their account did Reschny yesterday...then Emery today. Wonder if Schloss is doing an article after each of those confirmations? If that's the case, hopefully we hear on Zellers in the next day or so.

Would be funny if Hicks losing his magical touch next season.

Yeah I'd imagine he'd want to discuss with whatever team drafts him before making any official statement. I can't imagine a team wanting him to sign right away...one more NCAA year would do wonders for him.

Highest point total forward currently in the portal goes to ASU. Will be interesting to see how his Union game translates to NCHC.

Don't see that everyday.

Hall is a nice pickup for UMD. Prob won't get as much playing time as SCSU with the Plante bros getting 28min/gm. I didn't see that if that was mentioned. Schloss list still has him as uncommitted.

The posts with the upcoming non-conf schedules are in this thread...just got buried a bit (on page 5).

They don't want to get hit with that $1k fine.

For a more defensive dman, that can be a good thing that he didn't stand out. I'll take a local kid that's willing to do the dirty work to help his team win. Will be interesting to see the last couple dman pieces to see where he'll slot into the lineup.

I'm interested to see where both Klee and Littler end up and where they slot into their new teams lineup. I doubt they were "pushed out" here, but they certainly would have had a spot on the 3rd/4th line.

JJ would be a great snag for sure. I just assumed he was heading to WI being from there. But getting a proven goal scorer from a tough conference would be great.

Maybe he meant to say: - “learned how to be a team player this year” Yeah, that makes me a bit more hopeful that he'll fit in nicely. I'm hoping that he is willing to play a slightly lesser role (with TOI compared to his ASU season) this upcoming year (when our d-corps will be stacked again) and then fit into a larger role during his SR season...that'd be great.

Also saw that Boser was 2nd in the country in blocked shots. That’s a stat that I can get behind too.

Klee and Littler left so that the Ruck boys could form the most dominant 3rd line in the NCAA at UND next season.

If roster size limit stays at 26 for next season (which is an IF), then we'd be done at 8 D. Usually we're looking at 15/8/3. Doesn't leave a lot of room for injuries, which is why they're pushing to have that 26 number increased. That's a great looking group of 7D right there though. As Reschny said today...they'll be young, but really good. DU just won a title with a single SR Dman...it can be done. Let's go green.

He's a good one. A .919 save % playing for Alaska is damn impressive. He'll do well at MSUM.

No. The WHL champs won't be over until mid-May. Everything goes so much longer since they are all best of 7 series instead of single-elim.

Yes, for sure. I'm guessing Harper wasn't either since his Gopher IG posts were still active this morning (assuming the Murr news caused him to rethink things with UMN). I'm confident that those aces were in reference to some more CHL studs to be named later.

Finn Loftus goes from UMass to SCSU and now to UMN in three seasons. If UMN has another early exit ( ), maybe he can go for the 4 teams in 4 years next season at this time!

I'm hoping it's just Bryn keeping all options/avenues open. He did say earlier that he liked to have options A, B, C, D, etc. just in case.

Completely agree. You only take a run at Harper if you miss out on all three of the remaining CHL Big Guns.

Schloss updated the UND transfers article with a quote from Dane:

In conference "rival". Wishing him good luck...same with Jubs though...not when we're playing UST!
