Really struggling at the USHL level (obviously). Will need to play at least one more USHL year.

There are known concerns surrounding this kid...that is true. moving on, now schloss is saying they’ll bring in johnson. That decent but hoping he plays. I hate when they ring in younger skilled players and they sit (think Moore). Either way, with the overagers we have coming in I think we should be (at the very least) a top half team in the nchc

There are concerns with his pops...but the way you wrote your post is a bit misleading. He’s basically been with shattuck the entire time. Not sure where you grabbed those ushl squads. Was drafted by Youngstown and was never planning to play there long term (many kids make those decisions). His rights were traded to Fargo end of last year...again decided not to go which is his call (which was odd given he’d graduated and decided to play post grad year at shattuck...but should be a true senior in hs this year). I heard him not going to Fargo raised some concerns. Either way, his choice to stay at shattuck (maybe to try and win a natty...which we all know about). Flipped to UMASS to play right away...which given his skill set makes sense.

I get it. Obviously your response is correct, just a tough one to miss out on. I first saw him play last year, unreal skill set. But to your point...have to trust the coaches. First heard of issues around thanksgiving when he didn’t show up to the force

Sounds like Berry was trying to push him a year...he wanted to play this year. If so, you have to bring players in with his skills. I’ve heard he may have been a tough recruit...his dad calls the shots and he’s known to be difficult

Sounds like morrow flipped to UMASS....never thought I’d see something like this. Huge loss.

Interesting get.

12 pts in 13 games....and those numbers aren't very high considering the league he's playing in. Again, just being honest. He's in his +1 post draft year. There can be other factors at play too (injuries, coaching, team, etc.).

I am fully aware of that. Just saying, the USHL isn't coming easy for him. As it relates to Bowen, I have followed the BCHL for quite a long time....his numbers don't pop out at me. Typically higher end kids in that league go well above a pt/gm pace. He has never been a pt/gm, even this year (post draft year). Maybe he's more of a role player....that's fine. I simply like to assess what we have coming in. Doesn't look to be a high end recruiting class. I will say this though....Schmaltz is having a decent year and Kunz has really turned it on too.

Costantini is definitely not lighting up the ushl and bowen is coming across (more and more) like a kid that may not end up here. Definitely time to turn it around however college puck doesn’t get easier. Especially if you’re coming up the BC route.

It’s good that got some players from the portal because there is no high enders coming in other than Morrow...and we don’t even know if he’s coming in yet. But, really tough to know what these guys will bring...definitely a weaker conference top to bottom. On a positive note, they’re all old so that should help a bit. Here’s hoping Bubs lands some high enders over the next few years

Because they’re absolutely juiced for the next two years (his remaining eligibility)

Yeah...Morrow

I think portz and schmaltz have to come in...didn't they age out of juniors?

I thought we were going after the other one. He has two years left correct?

Depth add

He's solid you just never know when kids jump conferences. Jandric is a name tied to us a bit. He put up great numbers in Fairbanks however last year in Denver was fairly avg. I'm assuming he was a PP guy in Fairbanks and not in Denver.

yes

Agreed...that's why I added "if there's more to it". He could have had a poor attitude and wanted him out.

That's what happens when a kid sits 4th line year two. Not sure he necessarily deserved a higher spot....but man....he would have had the chance at a top 6 role next year. Super dumb decision unless there's more too it.

F

He should be here (top 4) unless he bolts

Definitely not tearing up the USHL right now

Given what we lost and what’s coming in. This is a solid get. Need a goalie, D and probably one more F

No, I wouldn't think so.
