I just spit out my coffee reading this......

The bolded 6 are your high skill high ceiling guys. The other 3 are a solid 3rd line but then Strinden gets buried another year.

If Boisvert gets less quality minutes as a first round draft pick than a 5th year portal guy than the "chippas" (trademark @gfhockey) might be looking elsewhere in the future.

So Wilkie and Kunz top 6? Who with better skill and talent with a higher ceiling do you bury down the depth chart? This top 9 is not happening cause there is zero chance Schmaltz and V get 4th line minutes.

Nope.....can't keep burying Perron in favor of Kunz. Kunz has 30 total points so far in his career at UND. Again DU had 11 guys with 30+ points this past season. Just for one season I'd like to see this coaching staff let their top talent roll. Let them develop together.

Agree. Was a non factor. His first couple shifts were decent but after that wasn't noticeable at all.

The top 2 lines.......100% agree with

Not the first time I've seen him play this season this kid is something. Vision and passing skills are top notch. He's a legit top 6 and top PP unit guy as soon as he steps foot in the Ralph.

Going to watch Mac and the Force tonight.

When you put it that way it's even more pathetic from a team production standpoint. How many 30+ point guys did DU have again this past season?

TMI. I get you're an insider but revealing that is a little creepy......

2021-2022 season two Fr. were in top six in total points on the team. One was gone, off the roster after his So. season. One combining his So. and Jr. season point totals didn't equal his Fr. point total. Seems hard to blame everything on either players for how their productivity at UND evolved. So again I'll ask.....where's the pursuit of development?

Does reading comprehension elude you? Where did I make the comparison between the two for the 22-23 season. Constantini was bad that season. That's been acknowledged. Hopefully Schmaltz can double his point total from this season next season.....which would still not have him reach his Fr point total. You see what I did there??

Yes to both??

To answer your question....yes. To the bolded part......Schmaltz says "Hold my beer". Again what's the difference? Schmaltz had ONE goal all season yet was on the ice plenty down the stretch vs MI when the team needed a goal to tie it up. Not bashing Schmaltz but......I'm obviously missing something between Constantini and him.

Both Moore and Constantini had bad seasons in 2022-2023. Both had good seasons this past one. Schmaltz grossly underachieved this like Constantini did. One is coming back. One was told to get lost.

At least Schmaltz had more goals than you this past season. ......and you've followed Albrecht's career? Long leash is obviously better than a short one at UND.

A single shift....that's the criteria now? Obviously he wasn't a "culture" guy.

Is UND a program where player development is barely on the radar anymore?

Had the same experiences at The Spud and Up North a few weeks ago. Service in general everywhere is subpar.

Sickies was a huge loss. You can look no further than to St Paul for the reason why.

High end talent rises to the top.....unless it is suffocated and held back.

Not many kids in the student section the past couple years even remember those UND champions......

Draft pick who got buried as a 14 F behind culture guys

Ate at GF Rhomus Sunday. Pizza was terrific.
