How will Major Junior players translate to the NCAA?
Similar to how ushl players translate. Some will struggle others will do well…the blue chips will/should do well.

Looks like Malcolm Spence of the Erie Otters is going to the NCAA next season, most likely to Michigan as Schloss reported
Boy that is a nice get.

Agree if you (and more importantly your kid) are ready to do boarding school at 14.
Agreed huge part of the equation.

You know more of this is gonna happen too with some of these CHL studs.
Played on the same team as Zakreski...and had 19 more pts than him as a dman too. Yowza.
Jugnauth had already played 1.5 seasons at UW before playing 1.5 seasons in Portland.As a MSU fan, this would stink. However, after I thought about it for like a minute, it guessing they just buy another stud.

Sounds like Tyler could be Shattuck bound like his brother was.
It’s the best spot if you can swing it

I really did think we’d be in on 1-2 of these higher end CHL guys. Money talks I guess. It’s a bit early…but this is starting to feel like SEC football. And I’m not necessarily talking about the Romani commit (he’s a 6th rounder). But I thought we’d grab some skill out of those leagues.

Anthony Romani to Michigan State

No doubt he's good. The hard part in evaluating is that Minnkota is a bubble and 09's don't play 10's (and some 11's) anywhere else. So it's about seeing the players vs the rest of the top end kids in systems and age group. That's why US nationals, WSI, Kings of Spring type stuff is so important from a scouting perspective
100% agreed.

Agree with this. I do think Marto can get there with some time. Especially in USHL.
He’ll play D1 for sure….but I’m not sure if he’ll be a Sioux guy or something like BSU, SCSU etc.
A buddy of mine who’s kid played for a top D6 bantam team said Marto was the top minnkota bantam forward and it really wasn’t even a conversation. That’s including a loaded Moorhead team with Cullen, buttweiler etc. Marto could literally carry the team and they beat Moorhead twice.

What about Marto? Is he looking like a legit DI player at this stage?
I honestly don’t know. He’s super super super good. But he was an old second year bantam that should have probably been playing HS. He was basically 1-2 in Minnkota bantams
Hes not going to be a very big guy, but he’s super good for the level he played at

Sounds like some Moorhead players will be in town for a visit today. Hearing Mickeslon, Zimmerman and Bergeson.
Bergeson?

Just to be devils advocate Jackson had better numbers and was a waste of space on the ice for UND.
I’ve seen the younger brother play. Big big boy with a rocket. But….Jackson was a far better prospect at the same age. It’s really not even close currently.

Crazy to see Mason Kraft sign in the WHL with Wenatchee.
Did he sign or was his rights traded?

Lots of RRV kids picked in WHL US draft. Cullen, Kunz and Kraft are familiar names.
There were a bunch of mn kids take this year. Good to see. Second overall pick from MN

Hope you are right.
Will Smaby bring McMorrow? Can we get Carter Casey to commit?
I am. No idea on McMorrow or Casey. McMorrow would be nice. Works super hard, limited O but a really tough kid to play against. Again I’d take him for sure. Casey is interesting. Has always been a top MN goalie. Sure playing good right now.

Unsurprisingly, Sammy Nelson (2008, NTDP, 2027 Draft) commits to Notre Dame where his brothers are.
Nice get. Agreed, not unexpected

How can it be a "coveted" job when UND only hires alum? This spring has been a colossal waste of time and the AD should be on a very short hook
There were other applicants. Are you questioning the hires themselves? Chyz was a must…Smaby is a colossal get.

Swanson is a pass first, undersized forward. He was destined to have a rough freshman year.
Zellers could be a defensive weak link based on what I’ve seen. He floats quite a bit. He’ll get better and better at that; I’m really really high on him. But to expect some huge frosh year may be a bit aggressive. Also, he’s not big either.

The agent factor is something that I haven’t really thought about. Every agent will want them to chase a bag because they’ll get a cut of it.
Beyond that…they want their players to play. Skilled guys playing a depth role may be more infrequent. They’ll go where the can play….and get payed a bit.

Honestly, if our back end is as good as advertised and we get a top 6 center, what would we realistically be ranked before our first game?
I think we would be a top 10 team for sure.
Thats reaching a bit (as it stands right now). Not saying that wouldn’t come to fruition, but preseason top 10 given how last year played out? Coupled with the fact we lack higher end offensive skill up front? Again I don’t see it. Maybe if Boisvert would have stayed.

Would be shocked if Michael ended up there. He seems likely to sign his ELC after he’s drafted top 2/3. I think this move by his bro makes it more likely that he goes pro. A top 3 draft prospect going to Penn State just does not make sense in my head
I had read rumors they were in play. That was before I even knew he had a brother. But him signing his ELC makes sense too.
-
Luke Misa to PSU….very interesting. Are they going to pull his bro too? Solid play by the lions

Swanson being moderately underwhelming was all the more justification to get Berry out of there & start anew.
I’m hoping they play a more possession style game. It will really let swanson’s skillset to show.

All were good gets. It is encouraging that they chose UND over many big ten schools.
Agreed. We still could use a dynamic scorer though.
