And how well is our current offensive strategy working?

NIL contributors can also be fans of a particular school who didn't go to school there. It doesn't have to be limited to just alums.

What qualifies as a "chipper"? Being picked in the first half of the first round of the NHL draft?

I really don't believe the coaches are recruiting solely on facilities and tradition. The problem is what happens to players once they get here; they get worse not better. Berry and his staff are clearly not getting the best out of what they have.

I have been warning people about this for years now. And nobody wants to hear it or they make excuses as to why it "doesn't matter". SMH.

I don't think that group represents most of our fanbase. It's social media, it always attracts the craziest and nuttiest.

And all that money doesn't guarantee that their kid will ever make it to the NHL.

Whatever the problem is, we better fix it. If that means replacing the man at the top, then that is what must happen.

Will any school opt-in?

No, this isn't Bemidji State. But having athletic facilities connected is a plus.

That's what I was trying to say.

I know when Schmidt took over FB, he managed to hang onto current players and recruits for the most part. The new coach would have to reach out to all of them and tell them what he has planned for the program.

Yes, Chaves is the root of the problem, no question.

FYP

We need a hard reset.

Sounds like Blais.

Same here. Those were great times.

I don't want to end up like we were in 1994 when Blais took over. That was a total dumpster fire and I am still shocked how quickly Blais rebuilt it. I don't want to go through that again.

I think he has just one (next year).

And there were $750K reasons why Bubba wasn't going anywhere. We know what happened despite that.

I am not surprised. People know the reputation this program has for excellence and being in championship contention on a regular basis. And it is obvious that we are no longer that program. And people know this cannot continue indefinitely.

Do they have as nice of a weight room? Nope.

Our new facilities should help mitigate the cold winters we have.

Thank you for the clarification!

Parity? Denver didn't get that memo.
