Agreed - Perron is a very curious transfer. Why is someone getting substantial NIL money (supposedly) after generating a career high 19 points while getting top six minutes and prime powerplay time. He is the type of player that was hyped as a potential elite college player, but lacking the size and top end speed to be an NHLer. Hasn't been the case whatsoever.

Holy !@#$ Jackson has some work to do for next year. With all of the departures, the forward group for next year is shaping up to be one of the worst in UND history.

Agreed - I think he no question cemented his place on the Olympic team with his play. He was paired with Werenski all night on the second pairing and did well. Slavin-Faber Hughes-McAvoy Sanderson-Werenski That's one formidable d-corp. Fox was exposed in my opinion and has no business in a best-on-best tourney moving forward. Hughes and Werenski are better powerplay options anyway.

Can't wait to see Swanson keep proving people wrong. Add another chip on his shoulder with this.

If Zellers goes in the 2nd/3rd round, he has to come in the fall right? Hopefully Berry learned his lesson on the Shattuck guys with Scott Morrow. If he's ready, bring him in.

I wonder what his expectations were coming into this year. It was very clear that he would be battling to get in the lineup all year. Strinden isn't coming out, Kunz is progressing, and Albrecht is a veteran presence that brings a predictable game. I didn't see a single flash the entire year from Emerson that told me he was getting slighted in the least. If anything, he looked more and more like the clear cut bottom forward on the team (behind Ness and Montgomery). Just my opinion, but I thought he would've brought much more to the table this year as an older freshman that just put up over a point/game in the USHL.

You're forgetting Keith McInnis too. If he has a bounce back year, I could see him being a 3rd round guy potentially.

I sure hope not. Why would he play three years in Junior A and then make the jump after his draft year? It's not like the pandemic forced him down here as the WHL wasn't shutdown like other Major Junior leagues. If he does jump, it makes the Spicer situation that much worse.

I was thinking about this as well regarding James. As good of a season that he is having, does he step right in next year in a Top-9 role?

I'm pretty sure Gaber has scored as many points in a weekend as Ryder Donovan has in his NCAA career. Tough to speak to his situation, but potentially dodged a bullet there. No question this stings. Would he have helped next year? Probably not much. 2, 3, 4 years down the road? He definitely had the potential and pedigree to be a top of the lineup player as an upperclassman.

Hopefully he comes back soon. Him and Caulfield have been very underwhelming thus far after I expected them both to take the next step.

This appears to be a big get. Tough for a sophomore to play in the USHL, let alone put up 0.5 PPG as a defenseman. Good size too.

Wonder what the reason was. Maybe he sees all of these other recruits jumping him and foresees a lack of playing time. Happens a lot with these early commits, especially the larger forwards who dominate at lower levels due to physical maturity.

What he was saying is those forwarding requests could be because people were moving from one burrough to another, and staying in the NYC metro. The further breakdown would tell us if they moved from NYC to outside of the metro area at a higher rate than usual due to the pandemic.

You would think that Major Junior would have similar problems as the NCAA. There are several Major Junior teams located in the United States. What do you do with those teams if the United States doesn't allow sports but Canada does? So many hurdles left for everyone still.
