Right? Easy peasy.

Yeah I'm viewing Lindberg & Magnussen as replacements for the departures of Klee/Littler. If both can provide more scoring punch (and PK skills) from our 3rd/4th lines, that's fantastic and would make them upgrades. If Bryn can lock up two high end CHLers with some scoring punch, our forward group looks stronger/deeper than last year.

That would be great for us…one less suitor for LD

Talk about a mind-blowing visit coming from BSU.

Wonder if he has a DNC tag on his portal entry? Certainly seems like he would already know his destination. Either way, I’ve never been overly impressed…give us Carels and/or DuPont any day over him.

Brad's article on Lindberg. First bros to play together at UND since the Poolman’s. Also liked to read that Lindberg was CC’s most utilized forward on the PK. Will help replace James PK minutes. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/moorheads-gavin-lindberg-to-join-his-brother-at-und-next-season?fbclid=IwdGRjcARN0TRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeHlvuWA0Cn9hUHlQVpPoA9suZ606F5AAqmLDfSkUs2AuBEHLcGj3IK4jmW4k_aem_gJSal165CzhdZ2e68-VkRg

If it ends up being Lindberg and Magnussen, those are two good replacements for the Littler and Klee departures. Then it’d be great to get two CHL high enders to complete the forward group.

Added Lindberg. Lindberg was 3rd on CC in points, 2nd highest TOI for forwards, and also led the team in +/-. I wonder what the Lindberg jerseys will say on the nameplates next season? Gavin and Garrett doesn't make it easy...can't just put 1st initial like the Schultz boys. Three forwards and two defensemen to go for Chyz and Co. Forwards (12 of 15): SR - Menghini JR - Croal, Lindberg, Swanson SO - Josephson, Kernan, Reschny, Zakreski, Zellers FR - A.Schultz, B.Schultz, Simpson Defense (6 of 8): SR - JR - Boser, Emery SO - Laurila, Verhoeff FR - Lindberg, MacKenzie Goalies (3 of 3): SR - Sandy JR - SO - Spunar FR - Heil

Lindberg from CC is now at UND according to Tyler Young.

Welcome aboard Gavin Lindberg! Great pickup for the staff...will be a JR. Liked his game at CC. Might get a little confusing with multiple Lindberg's and multiple Schultz's next season.

Congrats to Cooper on being a finalist. Guessing that Pelletier gets it (more goals and points), but Simpson should be a good one next season. Adding another guy that can snipe is always a plus.

Wonder if WI losing Finley and Montgomery helps steer Wiebusch their way. Certainly can't hurt with them having a couple lineup spots opening up.

He's a big boy, for sure. 6-5 and he's still only 18yo. Goal scorer, scores over 1/2 gpg in the OHL. Will go top 10-15 in the draft this year. Similar to Carels in that he follows/likes posts related to UND on socials.

Next year could be sweet. Two Schultz Two Lindberg Two Ruck

Imagine if Strinden could have continued his torrid goal scoring run that he had in the early/mid this season? He was lights out for like a month there and then only scored 4 goals the entire 2nd half.

Zellers - Reschny - X Swanson - X - Simpson Josephson - Kernan - Zakreski Menghini - Croal - Schultz Ex - Schultz, X, X Wiebusch, Magnussen, Lindberg from the portal would all be good. Ruck twins, Belchetz from CHL, also a guy like Zakreski (more unheralded) would be great for lower lines.

I'd settle for Wiebusch and Ruck twins for top 9, then Magnussen for lower. Haha. That would be a crazy stacked group.

Four open forward spots right now. Would be great to get 2-3 high end guys that can compete for roles in the top 9 and at least one older experienced guy out of the portal that can crush a lower line spot. Similar to what Young provided to the team this year.

Yeah there will be no end to the number of talented players that UND will be able to pick up out of the CHL and portal.

Sucks for sure. Strathmann is a guy that probably could be on a pp unit somewhere. But that opportunity wasn't going to come this year at UND. But possibly for his SR season. Klee and Littler...would have been great to hang onto at least one of them. They would have had a chance to develop into great 3-4 yr players here. We'll see what the staff can get in. Feels like this is gonna be a never-ending cycle (not just for UND, but for all teams now). The chances of getting someone like Dylan James who sticks around for all four years (and is talented enough to go elsewhere) are pretty low these days.

Looks like Klee to ND and Littler to UST

If Fitz is wanting to play on a line with Zellers, we better hope that Will wants to stay thru his JR season.

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.
