Agreed. But these particular kids that recently committed are very "high end" for their age. Benson, Lizotte, etc were very good kids locally. But they definitely were not at the level these 3 were at the same age. Apples and oranges. These three kids were either committing here....or some other big school

Every local player that has committed recently is a top tier talent around the entire continent. Could they hit a ceiling prior college? Sure. But every college team would be looking at them.

Ausmus and Spicer also played for the 04 Blades which pretty much demolished every high end team in North America

this happened 2 years ago

Panzer committed.

He should be nice. Ranked 86 among NA skaters. Another decent get.

Potentially, easily in the top 6. CC plays more wagon wheel hockey.....but you're right. He very well could be. I think you're going to see some of our players take a jump into next year.

Didn't Brad S. already say it is Frisch?

Ya, definitely an older guy who would help. That's for sure.

Just an example, but flip’m. WMU or UND....come on now

Cheering for SCSU. Keep it in the NCHC

Sorry bud. Read your last post wrong. Calm down

Frisch and Bast are the same age.

He'll probably come in, but TBH, another year of USHL hockey is exactly what he needs. Clearly the league was very tough for him this year. If we need a dman bad (which we don't obviously), I'd flip an over ager like Attard to come in. Back to Frisch. I just think it would benefit him to log a ton of minutes (in all situations) and come in more polished and extend his development cycle by a year.

It's a panic move by a kid who's always played with ridiculously high end centers. He has a great shot so he scored a lot when being spoon fed.

Completely agree.

Which is somewhat surprising. It appears another USHL year would benefit Frisch. Great skater though. Also, I think Bast could use another year as well. Sounds like we need a body to come in though. I'm curious why they don't move Johnson back to D and have both Frisch and Bast continue to develop in juniors. Both are still 18.

Worst on the team.

Agreed, hit the panic button. Reminds me a ton of Kieffer Bellows. He bolted after a bad freshman year and currently has 17 pts in 64 AHL games all while being a dash 15. In both cases, the guys are clearly not ready for pro hockey. And in both cases, they played with high end talent atNTDP and had big shots. Clearly they needed to work on other facets of the game.

Both had a click over a pt per game which is not “high end” per se but still a solid draft year season. I doubt they solve all the worlds problems next year but hopefully they have an effective role. As a comparison, pinto has over a pt per game (good goal totals too) in a much more difficult league. His numbers probably translate to high 70s to low 80s in the BC

Rizzo fell off.

Triston Broz....lock the kid up. He’s tiny but whatever

Agreed, the should be a top 5-7 team in the country. We’re bringing back a lot. Clearly our seniors will be 100% role players but that’s fine. Juniors and soph need to take that jump. I don’t think we’ll be a high scoring team but we should score much better than this year’s team.

Ya, he’s been super hot. His numbers should be very respectable by season’s end. Hopefully he has big season next year as well.

They’ll be a lot better next year. Hopefully the PP starts clicking. But they’ll definitely get in next year. The only thing that worries me is that senior class. Would be huge if poolman stuck around for one more.
