I am so confused by this. Are we going to start recruiting the Coast and AHL guys not on NHL contracts? College hockey will turn into a super old league full of these guys and full blown blue chips. Where are the rest of the “kids” going to play? I am this Beck guy averaged a pt/gm in the Coast and had 3 pts in 4 games in the A. This one doesn’t make a ton of sense.

Me too

Agree on all fronts. At least to begin the season. Only slight change would be to add some grit to that top line. Maybe flip flop Zellers and Strinden (or Mengini)

He’s not a small kid. Has to be really close to 6ft. He’ll play in Brandon next year and come on the year after. He’s good.

That kid seems to always be hurt…stinks for him.

If he’s drafted in the first 3 rounds and has a really solid year in the Dub he’ll 100% be playing at UND.

They wanted to keep family closer together…grabbing a “couple” of players that played at Moorhead (notice I didn’t say Moorhead kids ) was a bit extreme but it’s their 40 man year so it is what it is. Tier 1 is a bit better from my perspective.

Sandy’s greatest recruiting tool is that he’s never pulled a scholly on a player. Parents/kids love that; there’s a sense of security. UND, MN and most other blue bloods pull schollys left and right (sometimes deserved if the player doesn’t keep developing). Fairly tough to compete in this new world if you’re overly loyal.

I believe the tryouts are underway. Either spot is solid, however I would be extremely shocked if he were not on the Prep team.

Dang…I’ve seen how this plays out before Just teasing, good for him!

I believe GF HS

yep…I’ve seen him play. He’s good.

His downfall had zero to do with his game.

Have you ever seen this kid play?

Super smart move. This kid can play. At the very worst he’s a 5-6 Dman that can defend and will play 3-4 years. Can’t miss the local guys.

They’ve been out for a while

Grubb should be in Brandon after this year. He’ll have a big year at SSM this year and if he has a nice year at Brandon the year following, he could be a first rounder.

That’s a big one.

Love this one

Broden McArthur to the goofs…gotta give them credit. Really nice class so far.

He’ll work his way up this year. He’s always been a top 3 kid…grew a ton and I believe he’s figuring out his body again.

Beckham Edwards to Notre Dame….very big get. ND is back in a big way

Would be colossal…but I had really good info he was headed to a rival of ours. That was a while ago though. Bryn also taught Freddie at BA…so they know each other well.

The portal transfers, etc We’re kind of seeing the recruiting direction this team is going. Besides the full blown blue chips, they’re taking bigger two way guys that can skate. I have never thought of Boomer as the very best in the 09 MN crop but he’s always in that tier and he’s been on some really good teams. Also a captain at LI speaks to that side of things. Go let him play two years in the Dub and let’s see how things shake out.
