hey thanks about the good observation, and i totally see what you mean when you say its like a stepping stone.
what i meant by the fame and fortune is that since they arent making any money really by playing college hockey, they need some financial stability,,,,? if you get my drift.
and yes, we are EXTREMELY lucky to have had him for these 3 years (hope for 4)
not to be a doubter, but look at chris porter. he stayed through his senior year, and then went to the blues. just yesterday i checked the blues roster and he wasnt on there.
he was an absolutely AMAZING player at UND, and now i cant find him in the NHL . I can only hope this same thing doesnt happen to such a great talent like oshie, duncan, lamoreaux, bina, etc.
