If "someone" would pay the buyout...then that same "someone" should help fund and setup the UND NIL to get blue chippah players on campus and help prevent the nightmare scenario.

That’s why I said anytime soon. I would guess that the CCHA has an exit fee as well, so it’s not like St Thomas would be wanting to jump ship in just a year or two and join the NCHC.

St Thomas already joined the CCHA, so the argument for adding them to the NCHC won’t happen anytime soon.

From the looks of it, he's an 11yo that was in town for a tourney with a team.

To be fair, if you had the DeLorean, you could just go into the future and get the intel needed to place the correct bets. The "Sports Almanac" betting plan.

Ah yes, found the article: https://www.therinklive.com/mens-college/nchc/huskies-get-transfers-from-alaska-north-dakota-for-next-season

Is that official that he's heading to SCSU? It certainly wouldn't surprise me, I just haven't seen it posted anywhere. Agreed though, best of luck to him and Costantini...just not when we play them.

Sorry @The Sicatoka, there goes your Klee dreams: UNO gets a couple Dmen additions from OSU and UMass. The Canisius goalie that had UMN fans scared thru 2 periods goes to Michigan. Another UW player sees the light and enters the portal.

I'm not too worried about the immediate need to add a 16F (if needed) or the 8D (if Strathmann doesn't come in)...the roster is 98% set as-is, anyone being added at this point will be a depth add in case of injury.

Geez, at least post spoiler alert for those of us that haven’t watched the next few seasons already.

I'd say that Duluth wanted him at least a little bit if they had a recruiting visit for him there.

We need to get the U17 team on the schedule then instead.

Big boost for national champ QU for next season.

Some intriguing matchups there, especially early. Very early test against a newly revamped UW squad. Tough home series against national runner-up UMN. Followed by a series against freshly depleted MSUM. And then followed by a road series against F4 team BU, which will have a stacked young squad with Celebrini. Not an easy non-conference schedule, so hopefully the boys can take care of business against Army, Wisco, Mankato, and Alaska...and hope for at least splits against BU and UMN.

Don't forget UNO! At this point, Berry could get Fantilli to transfer over to UND and Eiserman to swap commitments to UND and you'd still be upset with him.

That could fulfill UMD’s part of the equation for the Spicer trade.

Excellent addition to the recruiting group! Nice work Berry and Co!

Yeah the numbers are gonna be a bit crazy there. Check out this site that lists all their recruits... https://collegehockeyinc.com/commitments.php They have over 20 recruits listed for the next couple years, with many of them showing as coming this fall (I know those lists can be pretty far off for dates...for example it shows Celebrini as a 25/26 recruit, when he is going to BU this fall)...but either way, something is gonna have to give. It's like back in the Eaves days when they had 15 recruits lined up for each fall and then just cut 10 of them loose every fall.

Sounds like a few UW forwards might be leaving Wisco this off-season.

Don't see that often as a Twins fan! Great to see!
