I would think we should know the word on Dell staying or going by the end of the weekend for sure if not earlier.

He's a pretty skilled guy with good size and some goal scoring ability, the big question mark throughout his career and the thing he really needs to improve on is his skating ability.

I've been wondering the same thing, as far as I've seen nothing yet.

Some other possibilities besides Brad Berry would include James Patrick, Rick Wilson and Brad Bombardir.

Seth handled this decison with class and did it the right way, I will look forward to watching him play in the world juniors next year and as he continues his career I wish him good luck and will probably be a fan of his. The same can not be said of guys like JT Miller, Stefan Matteau, and Miles Koules.

Wow shocking news! I'd like to thank Coach Eades for his great service to the program and really hope this doesn't end up hurting us. I know Eades was a very respected coach especially along the recruiting links and especially in Minnesota, this whole deal has me a little worried especially since there isn't a lot of information coming out with it except for Hak basically saying he felt he needed to make a change.

I would guess that to, I have heard he is a big fan of the Gophers and think his dad played there as well.

I was looking at the Montreal Canadiens HF boards and saw some of their reactions to Kristo returning and all I can say is wow! A lot of people wanted him traded right away, some said he will not develop at all, and others said there is no way he is going back to try to win a championship because this was their year, haha it really suprised me at the lack of knowledge some fans had about the college game, I figured they knew a little about UND and that they're basically a championship contender going into every season.

He had tweeted before that he was going to play high school hockey at least until he got to a state tournament or graduated, don't know if he will actually follow it but he had said it at one time.

Don't know if you'll see him in the USHL for a while, he had an offer from the USNTDP but turned it down and said he wants to continue to stay with his high school team and his biggest goal is to reach the state tournament, said he plans on being at Holy Family(his high school team) for his whole high school career.

Some potential guys the Sioux could be interested in Minnesota Select 16s headed to national camp G Jake Kielly (Eden Prairie bantams), G Chase Perry (Andover) D Jack Dougherty (St. Thomas Academy), D Jack Glover (Benilde), D Griffin Slightham (Rochester Lourdes), D Jack Walker (Edina), D Zach Weier (St. Thomas Academy), D Nick Wolff (Eagan) F Paul Bittner (Crookston) Portland WHL, F William Hammer (St. Cloud Cathedral), F Dylan Malmquist (Edina), F Joseph Marooney (Holy Family), F Cullen Munson (Edina), F Ryan Norman (Shattuck U-16), F Chase Phelps (Shattuck U-16), F Austin Poganski (St. Cloud Cathedral), F Michael Sauer (Bemidji), F Jake Wahlin (White Bear Lake), F Andrew Zerban (Elk River)

Some potential guys the Sioux could be interested in Minnesota Select 17s headed to national camp G Tanner Holmes (Thief River Falls) D Michael Brodzinski (Blaine) Minnesota, D Jordan Gross (Maple Grove) Notre Dame, D Blake Heinrich (Hill-Murray) Minnesota-Duluth, D Neal Pionk (Hermantown), D James Schuldt (Minnetonka), D Thomas Vannelli (Minnetonka) F Tyler Cline (Blaine), F Thomas Hajicek (East Grand Forks), F Connor Hurley (Edina), F Karson Kuhlman (Cloquet), F Dan Labosky (Benilde) Colorado College, F Avery Peterson (Grand Rapids), F Jack Ramsey (Minnetonka), F Tyler Sheehy (Burnsville), F Steven Spinner (Eden Prairie)

Kind of figured that, but still nice to know the reason. I thought maybe the Sioux told him to wait another year or maybe even told him playing time would be tough and he should think about other options.

They probably won't need to bring in anyone else this year, there should be around 15 or more forwards this year.

Maybe Koules saw the writing on the wall that he would probably not have a lot of playing time, either way I'm not gonna wish him a lot of luck when a kid backs out on his commitiment. Maybe UND told him to wait another year to come in or wasn't happy with his progress who knows, either way I don't think we're gonna miss a whole lot on not getting him.

Ok I misinterpreted that a little I get what you're saying now.

You can take him off the list he just said on twitter he has decided to go to the Medicine Hat Tigers. If you are not committed to the program than don't commit, although I'm not to worried about losing him, I'm not gonna wish him a whole lot of luck.

I wouldn't necessarily say that the, Canadiens wanted to sign him and I'm sure there was a reason he got the input from so many other players and that I'll factored into the decison. It wasn't like the Canadiens said go back to school for another year, it was Dannys decison and I'm sure he took in all the information he could and got a lot of peoples opinons.

In the situation where he is in the top 6 there really isn't a huge difference between line 2&3, but I get what you're saying he really needs to prove himself, but I do see the potential there.

Good I really hope Hill-Murray makes it back to the state tourney so I can see this kid play again I really loved the way he plays

I think the question really is whether the coaching staff really wants Grimaldi at center which would lead to 3 pretty balanced scoring lines or whether they want him on the top line on a wing which could make it more like 2 balanced scoring lines. MacMillan-Knight-Kristo Rodwell-Rowney-Parks O'Donnel-Grimaldi-Cagiula or Grimaldi-Knight-Kristo MacMillan-Rowney-Parks The more I think of it the more I kinda like the idea of Rodwell and Rowney together, two big guys, can play physical, good speed and skill. I think if he can stay healthy Rodwell could be a guy who could step up his production kind of like Rowney did this year.

Not sure just saw it on twitter, it looks like he doesn't graduate until 2013 though. He looks like the type of player who could maybe play right away though and I guess he could opt to play in the USHL instead of his last year of high school next year too.

Blake Heinrich a defenseman from Hill-Murray has committed to Duluth, not sure how interested the Sioux were in him but I really liked how he played and his style when watching him play in the state tournament he looks to be a very solid player, good size, very physical, and a decent skater.

Yeah I agree with you that I would have loved to have Nelson back another year, but some fans do just look at numbers and say he was our best player and a lot of times numbers don't tell the whole story. I'm not trying to downplay how good of player Brock was, but playing with Kristo and Knight definitely didn't hurt his numbers at all.

I think Kristo coming back may have some fans on GPL a little worried, some of them are figuring he will still leave, think he is a headcase and using UND as leverage, and that he's not that big of difference maker. I may be in the minority but if I could only choose one who would be back next year between Kristo and Nelson, it would have been Kristo and it would've been a pretty easy decison for me.
