If we aren’t able to grab another blue chip F, they should be after Oasiz Weisblatt out of Medicine Hat. Heart and soul guy, captain, and seemed to have put up big numbers as an overager. Academics may be an issue.

At this point, there should always be concern.

Agreed curious how the ntdp will factor into all this. I was really hoping the USHL would cap the number of 20 year olds like the CHL leagues. Overagers still developing would need to spend some time in the NA….which is fine.

Makes sense.

100%….strathmann and Laurila have to play.

I actually think Emery will take a big jump this year. First rounders typically get better very quickly. Given that Zmolek has barely played any hockey the past 3-4 years, I’d start him out on the 3rd pairing; top PK unit with Emery. Reason being is based on the fact Wiebe and Liv will be top 4 (I’m assuming) and Emery and verhoeff also need to be up there as blue chips. At least until the optics show something needs to change. Wiebe-verhoeff Livinavage-Emery Strathmann/Laurila-Zmolek is a really nice third pairing TBH. Crazy to think either Strathmann or Laurila wouldn’t be guaranteed a spot. Both will be really good college players.

Haha I’m sure he’s aware of those two

It really depends who else is there. If he’s got a line and $ I’m sure he’d play there. If I were him I’d choose UND

Me too. We’d have a total log jam…but it would have be someone you’d have to take. Would probably force someone to the portal after the year.

I’m clearly in the minority…but I like him. He’s always been a huge fan of college hockey when not a lot of folks were. I was with him in Tampa after the boys won a natty and he loved Nodak and the fanbase. To me he’s fine.

Whoa

Penn state is going to get Misa I’m assuming. McKenna to MSU would be huge.

I’m not sure I entirely agree with the makeup of these lines….but it’ll be interesting to see how it all comes together. I’m thinking menghini will be bottom 6….hes never been a consistent point producer. But I’m hearing he works super hard and is tough to play against. Which teams need obviously.

That’s him Tavis

They already have one…they just don’t call it a gm. It’s carles right hand man…can’t remember the name though. If someone said it I would know it.
