Should we be surprised Schloss didn't say much about Ludvig signing an ECHL deal?
Maybe Berry could chime in on his situation?
Hah, see what I did there.
I am not sure we will be a player in the near future for NIL deals for incoming freshman and transfers but would hope we could be a in a situation where if a player is leaving for an ECHL contract, an AHL contract, or even signing his NHL/AHL ELC where all signs indicate he will be spending at least his first season in the AHL that we would be able to offer 60K or 80K to the player if we wanted him to stay.

not really sure who is the clear cut fav to replace kelly armstrong but this little snippet on becker's wiki is interesting.....
With Becker's "key issues" it would seem he would have been more of a fit running for Governor instead of wanting to join the cesspool in DC

It is only starting to get interesting with regard to collectives, transfer portals, and NIL.
Here are a few scenarios.
Big Money School, coach indicates a player they are targeting who has 3 years of eligibility left. Collective comes up with 4-500k for the athlete and he commits to school. Player comes in and averages 4 points and 1.5 rebounds a game and by end of year is losing playing time to lightly recruited walk-on. Say coach has overvalued guys in the portal a couple years in a row and the Collective has footed the bill for these "failures"....is the coaches seat hot with the alumni not happy?
Same scenario but the collective has been burned by guys coming in and grabbing the bag and then moving on to another school so since these are basically "employment contracts" they decide to structure them as 2-3 year agreements with the athletes. Coach moves on to another job or gets canned and new coach runs a different offense and brings a couple of his current players with him and does not really have a spot for the player with 2 years left on his "agreement" with the collective. Is there a buyout option?

What an NHL glorious mess last night.
PHI pulls not knowing what else was happening in league and "The Osh" scores the ENG to put WAS into playoffs.
Sanderson gets an apple on Stutzle's OT baseball swing (belt high slider) goal to knock DET out.
Being a Flyer fan I was watching and one minute things were looking pretty good and then Montreal chokes away a lead against Detroit for the second time in two days.
it was a real shame that Oshie getting the empty net goal and clinch the playoff spot for the Caps was that it made the penguins game tonight meaningless(sarcasm intended)

Anyone else hoping Oshie has coaching aspirations?
If I had to guess his initial coaching might be if any of his 4 kids under the age of 10 start playing sports. Seems like the kind of guy who will want to spend as much time with his family as possible when he is done playing.

Gauthier, Brindley, Duke, all sign for $925k+.
https://www.capfriendly.com/Still say Blake took the short end.
I believe that the numbers on Blake's contract were incorrect.
Looks Like he was paid as a first rounder and burned a year on his ELC.

These kids come in playing for the college they signed up for but 90% of the fans pretend they're still playing for another team and a nickname that has been retired. GET OVER IT! There's an identity crisis that is strangling UND hockey right now and it has to stop. Hey fat old UND fans in the stands who still barely fit into your Sioux jerseys sitting like you just sh*t your pants watching your team blow another opportunity...want to get back to WINNING?
THINK OF THE FUTURE! The SIoux name will always have a great place in HISTORY - but it is HISTORY. This program won't achieve their former greatness until they FREE themselves from the past and move FORWARD! Forget the past and embrace the future - it's the ONLY way UND hockey can reclaim their championship glory! Just my 2 cents...

CAR wasn't guaranteed to lose him, they'd have still had his rights till next August correct?
He could have got the same deal or better from CAR next spring.
Basically the ONLY way I see a win here for Blake is if he gets a game in the final week in the National.
Still haven't heard anyone say anything about the knee yet either....
Speculation could say that's maybe what the CAR staff was evaluating?
Maybe the thought is get what money he can now and let the pro club outline the rehab ( if thats a concern) into next season in the American or the coast.
I would be surprised if he got a game this year. They are still jostling for their playoff position. If he is healthy though he may get time with team as their Black Aces practice team during the playoffs depending on what those rules are with regard to games played and contract.
According to cap friendly, his contract is more than reported. He doesn't have any playing/performance bonuses built in though.
Jackson Blake Contract, Cap Hit, Salary and Stats - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
As far as NIL I think the number to keep a guy who isn't quite NHL ready would be around 80k to convince a player to stay another year as that would be equivalent to AHL salary....minus the signing bonus

For those who want Berry gone. John Calipari has a blueprint of how this can happen. After feeling not appreciated leave for a lesser job(Calipari going to Arkansas, Berry goes to Bemidji to coach their women's program? )
Do you have inside knowledge?

Maybe Carolina didn’t like the way Blake was developing. Wanted to get him within the program to get him on track
Carolina is on a prospect signing binge right now. They did not have an AHL affilaite this season and it has hurt their depth. They need to restock the shelves which is why they are currently trying to sign all the prospects in their system as they plan on having an AHL team again next season.
"For starters, the Hurricanes currently do not have any AHL veterans signed to two-way contracts.
Last season, the Canes had 10 two-way contracts, meaning they had plenty of organizational depth.
Furthermore, of those 10 two-way players, four played in at least one game for the Hurricanes over the course of the season, with two of them - Jalen Chatfield and Stefan Noesen - becoming NHL regulars out of training camp.
The bottom line is that the lack of veteran depth will be a big hurdle that the team will surely have to face at some point during the season.
The whole point of having those AHL vets is to 1) provide some dependable culture and experience for your prospects to learn from and, most importantly, 2) have dependable players that you can call up in the case of injuries.
Without those players, your options when things start to go sideways are not promising ones."
They had 14 players on entry level contracts this season and had them scattered around the AHL, ECHL, and Europe. This is not ideal for continuity as most NHL teams and their AHL affiliates work hand in hand on the systems they use.

Just because he didn’t turn the puck over in the worst places doesn’t mean he improved his 200’ game. Coasting back on those Michigan goals proves my point.
It was Blake's effective back check that led to the fluky goal that tied the game.

They are currently working on getting a permanent AHL affiliate.
"The long-term plan is for us to have our own affiliate for the 2024-25 season," said Carolina general manager Don Waddell back in May.
The Chicago Wolves are an unaffiliated AHL team. I now most teams like to have their AHL team nearby so they can more easily manipulate the Salary Cap and per diems.

If Blake plays at UND next season he would become a free agent Aug 2025
If he signs with Carolina and doesn't make the team he could end up playing for 1 or a combination of these places next season.
Colorado, springfield, Chicago, Wilkes-Barre or Norfolk. Carolina does not have an AHL or ECHL affiliate.

I think he is 100% worth an offer! Local kid with pretty high potential. Hasn’t proven himself at the college level at all yet and although he had a great individual HS career his teams did underperformed. So I understand the concern but I am sure there will be MANY teams reaching out to him and hopefully UND can get him on the roster.
Those high school teams had some other athletes as well. The Games i watched the brothers rarely played in the paint.

Wouldn't this be a fun wrinkle to the transfer portal? NHL GMs directing their draft picks into the portal and onto a new team.
Happens. I am pretty sure J.T. Miller was on campus when the Rangers who had his draft rights encouraged him to go play with Plymouth in the OHL instead.

Seriously though, many pro teams have a sports psychologist. If we are trying to be a pro team with all our amenities it would make sense to have a sports psychologist. Maybe even share them across the other non-hockey sports
UND does have one and I believe she works with multiple sports.

Count em, 5 CC Tiger seniors to the Portal. With what Mayotte is building it makes sense that those guys wouldn't be brought back.
What sayeth @Godsmack?
They have all played 4 years of College. I think guys enter the portal to keep options open if they want to possibly play the extra Covid year. I heard it might be tough for them to stay at CC as well due to their(school, not the players) academics as they don't have many grad school programs.

People get crucified on this board for saying parity is a factor, but ignoring it, especially in a game that is often a one-bounce game, is just wild to me. I think many fans don't have reasonable expectations anymore, frankly. The overreactions are absolutely obnoxious and drips with entitlement. A large amount of our fanbase sees every loss we have as "the boys aren't trying hard enough" or "they aren't real Sioux" or "the boys don't care enough" or "Bubs can't get them up for a big game", and that's what bothers me. We seem to have this expectation (not all of us, but some -- still the minority, but a loud and vocal one) that we should win every game just because we're North Dakota and that's how it works. College hockey is just different now than it used to be. Added parity with how the game of hockey works, we now have a game that is anyone's game each night.
More often than not, the best team wins. I'm hoping we're the best team tonight. And if we aren't, it's not due to a magic potion whispered from Bubs, it's because the other team played better and finished their chances.
At the risk of repeating myself.
Just kidding don't care.
A large portion of our fanbase believes that other colleges and universities only field hockey teams so that we will have someone to play against.
