I was thinking the same exact thing. I think there's a chance they would move #2 Michigan to St. Paul for more bracket integrity. I think we could see UND & Denver battling it out in Green Bay again, even if the Sioux win tonight.
This is why tonight's game is so important for this team's chances to get to Tampa. As a #1 seed, we'd have the last line change, and I like our chances a lot more when Hakstol can set up the matchups he wants.
Maybe we shouldn't go down that road, or it might open up the discussion of some of the lagoon creatures that have graced the UMTC roster over the years.
Let's not forget what Mario brings to the table on the penalty kill. Also, his faceoff percentage is not far behind Corban. Might not be a pure scorer like others, but I love the way he plays the game. He knows what his role is and he fills it very well.
I thought I had a better handle on this rule, but apparently not. So if he comes back for his senior year, does he automatically become a free agent, or does Montreal still hold his rights until shortly after he graduates?
Big A HG did a good job of summarizing the rule earlier in this thread:
Kristo's 4 years of having his rights held by Montreal wouldn't expire until after his senior year.
Take it for what it's worth, but this guy on HFBoards is claiming that Seth Jones is leaning towards UND:
