Yep. Maybe flip 7 and 4.

For the effort, skating, leadership aspect. Don't want to jump the offensive shark, so to say

Since I heard about him last night, I was able to see some of his video from last season. Definitely not going to wow with his offense very often, but he is an all-effort dude, a phenomenal skater, and is incredibly smart. He spent a significant amount of time covering the mistakes of some rather.... well, young... and well... ambitious ... teammates last season. Not meaning to drag the dude, but Farmer absolutely helped make Scott Morrow this past season. He had to be... let's say, extra careful, at times and put out a lot of fires LOL. I'm super excited about him.

Top 4, definitely. One year left, unfortunately. I'd say he'd be our third best D behind Frisch and Kleven.

It's getting there! Love how it's shaping up.

Heard were close on a portal D man. Could be done Wednesday. Not being talked about on here at all. But, I like it, if it happens.

Neither do I. Wouldn't be surprised in the least bit to see a portal F, either.

Good stuff here from Schlossman on Brent Johnson: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/defenseman-brent-johnsons-progression-a-good-sign-for-und Loved his game down the stretch. I forgot that he was injured to start the year and wasn't able to lift all summer. I'd imagine Mr. Poolman will make Johnson quite a pet project. Kid has the ability to be really, really special by the time he leaves UND.

I personally LOVE that the NHL is on ESPN+. As an out of state fan of the Rangers, I've watched more games of theirs this season than I have in 15 years.

Fair enough. I disagree, but that's cool ha.

Interesting. By whom?

C - Frisch, A - Hain, Gaber, Judd, Kleven If Hain doesn't come back, add Jammer, or just go 5 As

His sources are clearly better than mine.

Lolol well done

No. Sorry guys. Not trying to be d-bag (open shots expected ) .... just protecting my ability to obtain fun information to make you all think

Fair enough. I'm just speaking more of what's needed to be done. Lots of things being said, but not a lot of ideas on how to achieve it.

It's not Primeau. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if UND talked to him, for sure.

I guess if we need to, we need to lol.

Oh, sure. Sorry. Just preference, mostly. A little bit older, a little bit bigger, a little bit better numbers. And going off what I've heard/seen, a little bit more ready for the college game.

Like I said, what should they do differently? We're still nabbing plenty of top end guys, but missing on the true "blue chippa" with a handful of exceptions. I love our recruiting pipeline right now. What do you think should be done differently to get a guy like Cooley to pick UND over Minny, for example?

Which part?

Yep, and that's why I think it'll be the middle three and maybe James if we don't find a portal F, which we could.

Just missed on their eligibility.

But none of these teams are getting the blue chip recruits... I'm so confused.

if the choice is James or Spicer, I definitely think it should and will be James. Hearing a little bit about an interesting transfer portal forward that could be intriguing. Just heard yesterday that James is in no hurry and is solid UND as it gets. Take that for what it's worth, of course.
