Eades was and is a very good coach and will find something very soon. I'm pretty sure he bleeds sioux green. I thank him for his time and everything he has done for this program. However, there is a reason why his contract is not being renewed and unless we are close to the program we will never know the exact reason. Hak has his reasons and in Hak I trust.

this is why I mentioned litke,and I wouldn't she surprised at all if he ended up getting it.

a few possible names: john marks brad berry dane litke jason herter. my guess is either jackson gets moved up and mark,litke or herter is hired or berry is hired and jackson stays were he is.

it is better to have more than less as we found out this year. I'm pretty sure Hak won't mind having to make a decision or two or three or four or five each game.

it really doesn't matter, our lineup it pretty much set for next year and if he comes it is a bonus. if not we never had him anyway and we'll still be pretty darn good.

agreed. if we don't win the final five this year we probably end up getting shipped out east to play in bc's bracket-do we finally beat them this year, probably not. is the reason we lost to minny at the regional because we won the final five-no. the loss to end our season was a culmination of several factors. we played a better and deeper team,our goaltender had a bad day and the lack of a full and deep lineup finally caught up with us. none of that is beacuse we played three games in three days.

I know, I just hope his family doesn't get to him after this season.

does anyone actually think he will be here for four more years?

Knight has confirmed he will be back next year.

it's fun to talk about but let's remember who was the preseason number one was this last year-Notre Dame, and that didn't turn out to well for them. that being said I hope the gophs are rated that high early on. being number one in october/november is something they strive for. I remember during our series in minny last year how they were all talking about important it was to be ranked number one. they can be the preseason number one but at the end of the year we will be the better team.

sources close to the matter have said hastings has been offered the job.

maybe he had class but kristo didn't skate with the team today in an off season workout.

I'd love to see Mr. Berry come back.

thanks for kind of making my point for me, there are players who are NHL ready and those who aren't, and if you leave after two years to go spend the majority of the year in the minors you aren't ready. I'm of the same belief as Red at Michigan, if you are ready to go and play in the NHL he will drive them to the airport and if you aren't he isn't a happy camper. Hak has commented on players leaving in the past and has flat out said it was their time to go, he fell short of saying that last week at his press conference about Brock. instead he was tight lipped and said he would leave it to Brock's family. I could be wrong but I don't think he was too happy about him leaving.

incentive and bonus wise it was an absolutely great deal but as far as actual cash in his pocket, I've seen better. I'd be willing to bet that some of those bonus' are for things like being an all-star, all-star game mvp,league award winner and playoff performances. none of which he will be in his first three years. I'm willing to bet toews and oshie made more in their first three years than he will.

true, but it also sounds like brock was getting high pressure from his family to go pro now.

considering this is a non UND thread, sounds more and more like mr. bjugstad will be staying at minnesota for another year. his dad is pushing him to stay and sounds like florida won't pressure him either. that is good for college hockey to keep these kids as long as possible. that just means minny should be the preseason favorite for the WCHA and preseason number one nationally. I know it would take some divine intervention(sp) but I hope kristo would stay and with what we have coming back and coming in we could give them a run.

you can't just go by that, newt gingrich has expressed interest in becoming president and he is not going to get it.

I would classify that as false hope.

couldn't agree more, if he were to be staying you would think he would just come out and say it. my guess is sometime in the next month or so we will hear he has withdrawn from school, just like gregoire.

congrats to BC on yet another title. hopefully one of these years we can get on a roll like them.

everyday that goes by without word from kristo that he is staying is not good. it reminds me of last year with gregoire and then boom he announces in may he is withdrawing from school. I just see the kristo situation ending up the same way.

I got that impression as well.

those are some god awful ferris state uniforms

needless to say I am not a fan of kids leaving early no matter what the sport.
