University of North Dakota Hockey 2017-18 Season

That's because of the type of kids they can recruit. They all have great hands. -

Obviously your sitting Wilkie but who else would you sit(assuming both those guys play)? -

Doesn't JJ always play LW? -

Yes I get Bowen can play a nice 3rd/4th line role (and that he's not as offensively talented as some of the guys that put up (much) bigger numbers in juniors). I'm just saying that jones will come in as a junior, although he's the same age as a typical overager. In seeing him play, he's much more offensively talented than a guy like Bowen, but he also plays a nice two way game. Which would fit in nicely on our 2nd-4th lines. He's not all offense, he plays the game the right way. He probably just went to OSU a tad too early. We'll soon find out. -

Not bad...I still think jones will immediately crack the lineup. Also, I think you're positions are a bit mixed up. -
2 pts for bast last night (8 pts in 8 playoff games). Kawaguchi shredding, that sauce pass schloss retweeted was a beauty.

Agreed, to make a big impact he should have came back for another year. I thought the same about Nelson. He was awesome, but had he come back and played that junior year he would be cemented. Both great players that left a year early (from a UND perspective).

I actually like our talent next year (assuming Pogo, Wolanin, and Gersich all stay). Those boys should all get a bit better, some of the other guys should get a bit better, and we have some nice freshman coming in. Mismash (potential first rounder), Adams, and Kawaguchi all have a ton of skill. I think guys like Hoff and JJ (even adding in Yon and Bowen) are really going to improve. I mean, last year Kawaguchi had 83 pts in 56 games. To compare, Bowen had 22 pts in 47 games. This was in the same league and Penticton (Bowen's team) had much more fire power. Also, Kawaguchi is a full year younger. Collin Adams has averaged a point per game in the USHL over the past two years. That's super tough to do. These boys should be ready to go. -
Perfect, they're both gone

Completely different league. Adams would have shredded the BCHL. They both should be good though. Top 9 players for sure. -

Mismash is going to be a 1st/2nd rounder, he won't be on the 4th. Also, Collin Adams will be good next year, so he'll play. Nick jones should also cut the lineup especially without pogo. -
Agreed he struggled his first two years in the USHL....then scored a bunch in his last year.

Makes sense. -
No he actually didnt. He said UND was one of his favorites IF he went the college route. Seth handled his recruiting very well. He didnt commit and back out at the last second like Miller.
-
His point (I believe) was that Jost should have came back for another year (where I dont disagree). My point was that Jost was better as a frosh (thus making him closer to NHL ready than Schmaltz).
-
Jost was a few clicks better than Schmaltz.....comparing their freshman year's.

Come on...let's get positive. We actually have a nice core next year. They'll be good. Other teams are losing players too. -

It did for him. And I doubt you were on gersich's level. -

Both top 6? Who's moving down? I mean I already thought it was crazy enough having Adams on the 4th. He's better than both those boys right now. -

Please don't compare Bowen to Gersich Gersich has had all the accolades since he was 12 years old. -

No way. JJ was a point/gm guy in the USHL. He was also hurt for a large part of the season. Of the top 6 I listed, who does Bowen play over? -

He skates great, and brings it every time he plays. But he doesnt bring a ton of offense. Having a regular top 6 role (next year) is a large stretch considering the guys we have on the team. -

Again first draft. I know bowen will cut the lineup. Just not sure who sits. This is Wilkie's year (if he stays). He can only play a top 6 or 9 role as his D game will never be that great and his shot is lethal. Definitely forgot about Yon (we're going to be very deep at LW....Kawaguchi technically plays LW too, but he also play C). If Pogo doesn't leave (which is slim to none), we are a lot deeper than most think. Remember, kids get better with time.
