Hmmm... Tucker and Duey, for sure.
Comparing 2016 to 2021 in terms of college players, I think 2016 wins out, but overall, I'd bet 2021 has more NHL games played.
Elites: Tucker, LaDue, Stecher -- Sanderson, JBD, Kierstad
Solid in 2016, some became/will become studs: Gage, Wolanin -- Kleven, Frisch
5th/6th spot: Shaw, Thompson -- Bast/Moore/Rieger
This is close, and time will ultimately tell, but I think Moore is borderline better than Bast and could definitely be playing come tourney time. I'd take 2016 right now, but once all of them cycle through into the pros, I think this could end up being the best d-corps in UND history.
