Well when something is made up out of thin air and speculation it should probably just remain no news.

Well, the recruiting and scouting services all have Jackson Kunz rated as the better prospect so there is that. There is more that goes into the process of the USNDT than raw ability.

What would that be? Most of the top end talent for 2018-19, 2019-20, and 2020-21 have already committed and we got more than our fair share of them. At this point it is all about specific needs and having guys in the pipeline to backfill for early departures and hopefully having made good connections on the kids that weren't considered high end recruits when they were 16-18 but take that next step in the USHL or other junior leagues.

Well, next years class is pretty much finished unless they need/add a depth guy. We have top 3 ranked classes coming in for 2019 and 2020.

Hell, that's a weekend at Augie's for you.

And those underachieving Panzer brothers.

Coaching, development, and culture are right there with recruiting.

I agree for the most part. If you are good enough in todays age with the technology available...they will find you. I do think it is different for a kid from North Dakota or almost any other state other than Minnesota though...especially as it relates to the National Development Team. Bad habits can drift into your game when you are not being challenged so even a kid playing in a AAA midget program who is head and shoulders above his teammates and competition but not elite enough for the USNDT has to weigh the options of playing in the USHL or NAHL.

Ira, I am not sure how many of the kids in the Elite league are competing in Fall Sports but part of the reason(in addition to extra games to offset leaving for the USHL) for the set-up and format of the league was to allow kids to be able to play fall sports(football on Friday nights) and then play 2-3 games of hockey on Saturday and Sunday.

Well done. In a word.....sh!tsta!n

And hasn't had a top 20 recruiting class in the last 5 years.

I just about had a seizure trying to read that. Anyone else? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOXsi682OgA

One only has to read Adam's non hockey tweets to see what kind of a person he is.

I would hope this is a quick case and he gets stuck with UND's lawyer costs as well.

Schuldt staying would be a little surprising as he turns 23 in May. He is in a situation where he probably has offers from half the league or better and if he has a good senior season and avoids injury that won't change. His brother plays for the Force and has committed to playing for UNO next year. Jackson isn't even 21 yet so he should be back as an undrafted free agent. Ryan Poehling will probably be back for his Junior season as he is only 19 and I believe he had accelerated his learning to arrive a year early. New coach in St. Cloud could walk into a pretty good set-up for next year.

True. Plus the Elite League season helps quite a bit. Minnesota State Hockey tournament is one of if not the best High School tournament in the U.S. But, something to be said for playing against older competition and being at the front of the line for international competitions as well.

Jeff Cox‏ @JeffCoxSports Follow Follow @JeffCoxSports More Best pro prospect who didn’t get NTDP offer out of camp was North Dakota commit Jackson Kunz. A USHL team is going to be very lucky to scoop up the power forward.

Jeff Cox‏ @JeffCoxSports Follow Follow @JeffCoxSports More The top player at NTDP Evaluation Camp and the clear front runner for top NHL prospect in this age group is North Dakota commit Tyler Kleven, a left-shot D from Fargo Davies HS.

I would be a little surprised by that but you never know? The games they play there are a lot of 1 on 1 hockey as they don't have any systems out in and that helps the smaller, quicker forwards stand out a little.

16. Denver--can't have Denver get to 9 ahead of us 15. Michigan--can't get to 10 ahead of us 14. Ohio St.--nah 13. Notre Dame--boring 12. BU--not as bad as BC, but still bitter about last year 11. Northeastern--fun to watch but my anti-eastern bias shows 10. Providence--you just got one and I was there cheering for you 9. Penn State--fun team to watch but I might have a little anti B10 bias? 8. Clarkson--kind of cool to pull a double...but their colors are heinous 7. Princeton--Haven't seen them this year but playing well right now. the ECAC has had enough success lately 6. UMD--tough one, want to cheer conference mate and Sandelin but tough to cheer a dirty diving squad 5. Michigan Tech--great for hockey if they win 4. Air Force--tough to go against Serratore 3. Minnesota St.-Mankato--why not, future conference mate? 2. SCSU--not sure why so many are anti St. Cloud. They are fun to watch and it might take the chip off their shoulder if they got one. 1. Cornell--old softball teammate and friend's kid plays for Cornell....great job this season by the Fargo media of picking up on this.

Yes this is correct. He was able to sign before the lockout(not a strike) and have his first year of contract counted. According to those in the know, he regretted his decision after the fact even though financially it was the best move for him.

Donato skipped Bruins practice yesterday so he could go to class at Harvard.

He basically got $185k when he signed and then his salary is pro-rated depending on where he plays his game and his per diem depends on which roster he is active on. He will make a little over 10k per NHL game played plus about $105/day when traveling with the NHL club.

True.....but with the outgoing coach being the biggest vocal opponent of the Gentlemen's Agreement regarding verbal agreements I would hope that our coaches are reaching out to any unsigned kids we were previously interested in. Can contact between now and April 4 and again after April 12.
