    It’s the world class training they do. They start lifting at like 6 am every day.

    Nah, I'm guessing that Pecknold is a screamer.  He's in the locker room yelling and throwing chairs.
    Helps motivate the players!

    BB needs to lean into developing a goalie. IMO it is Hobie from here on out. He's a recruit. Has shown upside. Roll with him. This plug and play portal nonsense needs to end. Where has this gotten them??

    I’d be fine with that too. 
    Hobie looked good in his limited action. Aside from a couple ones he might want back in his last game against UNO, I think he showed he’d be a more than capable starting goalie. 
    Would still need a capable backup to join Johnson (if Persson departs as has been hinted at)…so either another recruit or portal grab for one season until Heil can come in.

    Not necessarily, unless it was a part of one of the lawsuits the NC$$ lost. Can't they go back to making the players sit out a year? That would certainly stop a lot of the movement.

    You'd think if they could, they'd go back to making players sit a year and also maybe control NIL a bit.
    I have no idea if that would be possible though.

    UND had a great season thanks to bringing in some good players from the portal. But I still don't like it. Free agency in college sports is wrong.

    Agreed.  This is changing college athletics...won't see many players being loyal to their team or earning their spot anymore.
    Just go to a different team instead.  It'll make you really start to appreciate the guys that stick around one team for their entire college career.

    But I guess this is our new reality, so teams need to embrace it if they plan on succeeding going forward.  :unsure:

    How sweet would that be. Has east coast written all over him. But playing with Blake would be enticing (assuming Blake doesn’t sign).

    Give him a setup man like Blake or Swanson and he could double his goal total.

  5. Portal entrants are going crazy with today being the first day for non-grads to enter.
    This is all from today alone already, with more coming I'd expect:

    :0
    Couple more UMD players entered, as well as a Miami player.
    Carter Wilkie has a pile of points from RIT.
    Merrimack has four portal adds to their team already this offseason.
    A Michigan player entered, even with his team still playing.

    This portal stuff is craziness.

    I thought he'd leave last year...I was surprised that he stuck around at UConn for two seasons with how highly touted he was.
    Would be a great pickup and immediate impact player for wherever he lands...Divver says UMN, UW, and UND are the favs.  We'll see.
    We won't need the portal nearly as much this year as last...but a couple players like Wood and Pohlkamp would be massive gets.

    Same for the Gophers, BC, and BU. How many 1st-2nd rounders play on those teams? Game-breakers… Jackson Blake is close, but he is not Lane Hutson, Celebrini, Gautier, Snuggerud, Willander, Moore, etc.

    Snuggerud and Moore? I would take Blake over those two and Willander. Heck I’d take OMac over them as well. :)

    I never did see what all the hype was around Snuggerud. He has a hell of a shot but other than that he is a lazy player. He seems like he just coasts out there and all he is looking to do is shoot the puck on net. To hell with defense. 

    Dude has a one timer that NHL teams dream about, for sure.
    Who knew that losing Cooley & Knies from his line would affect his production so much.  ;)
