That'd be a dang big portal grab for Miami if he ended up there.
I would be much less surprised to see him end up at ASU. -

Makes you wonder?
I get some of the reasoning with Blake being drafted in 2021 and both Snuggerud and McGroarty in 2022...and with Carolina needing to replenish their entire feeder system with them getting an AHL team again this upcoming year...just one of those things that you'd normally pencil in a 4th rounder to stick around for at least 3 seasons in a normal situation. Of course, Blake had a pretty damn good year too.

That would be big for Michigan.
Sucks that Michigan and Minnesota both get a first-rounder to return for their junior seasons, but our star 4th-rounder leaves after his Soph year.

Jeremy Wilmer in the portal…that’s interesting. Good production, I guess he was scratched for the FF game.
That'd be a nice pickup for someone, he dishes it well.

Berry could leave tomorrow for the NHL and many of us would be elated.
At the very least, we wouldn't have to go round in circles with this conversation for the rest of the summer.

If all that matters is national titles...all those teams have had the same success as UND in that timespan.
Unless we're hanging banners for tourney appearances and tourney wins now.

College hockey season done.
Countdown to next season has begun.McLaughlin - Berg - James
Swanson - Wilkie - Perron
Boisvert - Jamernik - Strinden
Kunz - Schmaltz - Croal
Extra: Montgomery, Littler, KleeLivanavage - Zmolek
Emery - Wiebe
Strathmann - MacDonald
Extra: Komzak, JubenvillSempt / Hedquist
Extra: JohnsonWe'll be strong up the middle. The top 6 will be very good, and still allow you to put skilled players like Strinden & Kunz (two guys I'd expect to see even more progress out of) on the 3rd/4th lines. Swanson & Boisvert might start on the lower lines, but I could see those two move up the lineup pretty quick once they get used to the speed of college puck. That 2nd line would be fun to watch with the skill of Perron & Swanson, but they're both on the smaller side, so pairing them with a bigger 2-way player like Wilkie could help.

I don't live anywhere near GF, so I don't know the kinds of questions the local media asks Berry after a loss. Do Schlossman or Hennessy ask him tough questions & does Berry ever admit that it's his fault when they lose a game? Or is it a big circle jerk?
One question I would very much want asked of Berry: "What are you going to do differently next year to get the team ready for the playoffs & avoid another early exit?" Seems simple enough & Berry's answer would be very telling about where his mindset is at.
Looking at Herald articles and watching post-game interviews, for the most part it's pretty typical questions of any college or pro athletic teams by local media.
As far as admitting fault, how often is a game loss entirely the fault of the coaching staff...or the players...or the game plan?
Similarly, after a win, how much of the credit should go to the coaching staff...or the players...or the game plan?
The vast majority of the time, it is a combo of all those factors and others that contribute to any win or loss. And heck, maybe even some good old-fashioned puck luck <gasp!>. 
As far as having your question asked of Berry...if the media won't ask, and you really want to know...you can always ask Berry yourself. His email address is publicly posted on the official Fighting Hawks website along with all the coaching staff. From personal experience, the coaching staff is usually pretty willing to discuss hockey, even with commoners such as us.

But hey - we have the portal for goalies
I'd guess that Hedquist sees half the starts next season with TJ.
At least Hobie was recruited.

Any NHL/AHL job openings that will attempt to poach Carle?

Did Davis sell his soul?
He was a sieve for a good chunk of the season.
This turnaround for him is crazy. -

Yeah, I find myself pulling for DU. If they can beat this BC team (after beating BU), they deserve # 10.
They'd have gone thru their own Beanpot, like our regional back a few years ago.

Zeev is so good.
If he sticks around for another year, which I'd guess unless whatever team that drafts him signs him immediately...he's gonna be dominant next season.-

Late season success and the ability to win four high stakes games in a row are the question mark with this program.
Correction...the ability to win one high stake game is a question mark with this program currently.

Article on Mac Swanson. Can't wait to see what he can do at UND!

I wonder if a team will pick him in the later rounds of the draft.
