    I think if we are going top 6 and bottom 6 this looks really good. But like some have said, this team has the chance to have a top 9 and go for goals with 3 lines rolling a lot. With that in mind, I’d flip Kunz and James around so that Kunz can add some size to the line with Boisvert and OMac, and then James can add more speed to the Wilkie and Strinden line.


    This year Kunz is primed to be a 25-35 point guy if he’s with the right players. He took a big jump from his soph to junior years and he seems like he’ll make another jump this year. But I agree with others in that we HAVE to keep Boisvert in a top 6 role so that he can develop and hit his ceiling faster.  But since he’s still a string bean (as is OMac) then having a guy like Kunz can really help give that line some strength. 

    All things considered, if this team goes with a top-9 approach and plays like they are down a goal all the time, they will be able to wear teams down. 

    Plus our 4th line, if it looks the way you have it above, will make it even more frustrating to play against as they could really shut things down. 

    One of the biggest things I was looking at and it is something I don't think Berry looks at enough is trying to put guys together that play with the same pace/skating ability. Trying to get speed guys together and really push the pace.

    Minnesota's top NIL earner last year was Dawson Garcia at 65K... you're telling me that they offered Morgan 35K more than him? 

    I just don't think Andrew Morgan is worth 200K... wow

    This past season? Dawson was at way more than 65K, he was at 300K. Despite never even entering the portal Garcia had a 700K offer from Gonzaga a couple weeks ago but opted to stay at Minnesota for a couple hundred thousand less.

    I'm guessing that 7 was a typo and was meant to be a 6 because there is absolutely no chance Morgan is getting even remotely close to that amount from Nebraska. 

    Morgan got 200K from Nebraska, Minnesota offered 100 for him.

    BJ is visiting or has visited Oregon St and Cal.

     

    I would be surprised if Minnesota is an option, but I could be wrong.

     

     

    Minnesota has not shown any interest at this point and I don't think they will. Have heard BJ's agent initial NIL ask turned some SEC schools off completely.

  5. Disappointing crash to a season that showed so much promise at times.

    Too many missed opportunities in the 1st. Leaving that period at only 1-0 was trouble. Too many turnovers in the 2nd half of the game just got extremely careless. Michigan definitely got some puck luck but back breaker was Persson giving up the 2nd, just cover the damn puck. Not enough urgency and getting pucks to the net, content to play on the perimeter.

    Brady Berry clock is ticking. 1 ncaa win since the national championship and 3 missed tourneys when we hadn’t missed one in forever. Some say parity and I’ll never agree with that, watch the spittin chiclets video and try to sell someone on parity how many other places are even in the same ballpark with those amenities maybe a couple. Frozen Fours should be the expectation around here.

    Schultz is gone. I would assume Simpson is too but I recently heard there was some sort of dust up with TC. I believe he’s back now so maybe they worked it all out.

    Listening to YHH podcast they had Schultz as a sure thing gone and Simpson pretty likely back as well as most if not all of the Shakopee kids.

  7. No way Vikings were coming close to what Cousins got today and I think that is the right move. Not sure where they turn at QB. I'd try to trade for Fields but guessing Chicago won't want to move him in division. Been some talk about Darnold, Brissett, and Tannenhill. Tough thing with moving up in the draft is it certainly looks like those top 3 will all go QB and personally I'm not confident enough in McCarthy to move up for him.

    Really, really like the signings the Vikes made defensively today. Cashman and Van Ginkel seem like perfect guys for Flores scheme. Aaron Jones and Devondre Campbell are a couple other guys out there I would like to see end up in Purple.

    Hermantown moving up would make 7AA just unreal.  East, Andover, Grand Rapids....

    Warroad and East Grand would have a punchers chance in 8AA.  

    I think those teams could make the adjustment to AA in the youth level pretty easily and hang with the big boys.

    We are all Thunderhawks tonight. 

    EGF and Hermantown both play AA at the youth level I believe.

    The Lund dman out of Warroad. I’ve tracked him for a while and he always put up very good stats for a dman. He’s also listed at 6’3”. Im assuming he has D1 offers but I never hear anyone talk about him. There’s obviously a difference between stats and the “eye test”. Either he’s sitting on offers quietly or it’s a factor of him being huge, playing a ton (in Warroad), and the fact it’s HS hockey (especially single A hockey).

    I've wondered why he isn't committed somewhere every time I've watched him the last 2 seasons. Seems like an ideal package of what you want in a defenseman good size, offensive skill, skates well, heavy shot, and can bring physical element. Always been very impressed with him. Would bet a lot of people will be talking about him these next few days after seeing him in the tournament again.

  10. It is one game but you need to make sure that is all it is. Don't let any of the bad habits, effort, plays, etc. grow into a trend. Own the performance and the ugly effort tonight and tomorrow is a new day where you show what kind of toughness you have by responding.

  11. One of the more complete performances we’ve seen from this team

    Really solid job coverage wise defensively one of the slip ups results in a goal though although Ludvig surely wants both of them  back tonight

    James/McLaughlin/Blake get better every time out

    D need to clean up some bad giveaways to nowher, too many weak pass/clear attempts that didn’t hurt tonight but were scary. Go get the sweep tomorrow!
