More of this "we don't have room for you" baloney!
Cripes, I never thought Berry would let recruiting go down the toilet like this. Kudos to Chaves on making the tough, but necessary choice to let him go.
Welcome to our program Anthony! We look forward to seeing you in action in October!
Huh???

Sour grapes on their part; 20+ teams contacted him per Brad's article that was ready the moment it was announced.
On that note, sounds like another Johannes in that he's a late bloomer who grew up dreaming of playing for UND. The picture of him with a Sioux jersey with the trophy in Tampa is encouraging.
I’m looking at Menghini’s numbers….he must be more of a culture guy or something? Good at pk? We’re not talking about a big time offensive player here. I’m still waiting for some F’s

Said this in the other thread, but worth it again. This is EXACTLY why I was so pumped about the potential of the GM. Already creating buzz. Man, if we pull him off, goodness.
Need to go all in on this one…others will follow

is this anti "get pucks deep"? I generally agree with you, just always looking to learn.
There’s definitely a time and place to “get pucks deep”…and certain lines need to play that way. But skilled, possession, type plays want to hold onto pucks to make plays. Interchanges, scissors, etc all work even better as you don’t unnecessarily create battles…and the good guys retain possession.
Last year, no matter which line had the puck they were chucking it into a corner….again creating more battles.

Strinden is the returning forward who will benefit the most from Jackson’s style of play vs Berry’s
That would be awesome!

In my estimation losing Boisvert is the dagger for next season as a whole, much like losing Blake was. It appears the only way this roster will have a single first line talent is if Zellers is lights out from day one. The anticipated forward group to me looks like one second line, two third lines, and one fourth line. Livanavage could be the highest scorer like the Wolanin year, roster reminds me of the 18-19 teams that were depressing. I'd be shocked if this forward group averages more than 3 goals per game.
Not sure where the optimism that our D should be good next year is coming from, its the same slightly worse than average D from this year. Hopefully Jackson can get our players to improve as they get older.
Agree with everything other than the D piece. Very tough position, they were all underclassmen playing big roles. They’ll get better and better. I don’t foresee them being absolutely lights out next year, but they will take a jump…a pretty good one I suspect.

It’s 100% why. Swanson, Omac, Perron…incoming Zellers. They want to hold onto pucks..not constantly have to win 50/50 battles. Winning battles is important, but if we already have the puck, keep it.

I just don't see how he fits. WMU plays such a high-paced, physical game. OMac is relatively high-paced, but he is soft as Charmin. I can count on one hand how many times I saw that kid go into a corner and win a battle.
They play a skill game…they move pucks and posses. He should fit in there.

@scpa0305 my concern with the F group is more around portal adds and balancing the classes. Is the best bet hoping for the two Duluth F’s and a player that hasn’t entered yet? Other teams need players too. Doesn’t seem like an ideal situation needing multiple players from the current portal group. Especially if a target goes elsewhere.
I get that, it’s just an underwhelming collection of offensive F’s at the moment. You can still win, just slightly underwhelming. Zellers and Swanson will be good, but both are underclassmen that aren’t necessarily blue chips….they could have great years, or they could still be figuring it out. With this group, we’ll need some late bloomer offensive guys that can put the puck in the net.

Sounds like OMac to WMU

I like it, let's lock it in. Every off-season I'll be consistent, 15F, 8D, 3G. The 6 guys in bold need to play every day if healthy. If you think they need 9D, then I'd first question if you think Jubenvill is an every dayer as a sophomore. You need that 7th D to be someone who could be an everyday type of guy. 0 worries when there's an injury and he jumps in.
Edit: let's lock it in... was thinking more of the Goalie situation. I'd prefer going with Homer / Heil next year unless Homer has indicated he's only planning on one year and then signing. Timing isn't great. IMO, Heil is ready and if not this year, absolutely he'd have to come in after next. Flow better next year and the year after if they went with Homer / Heil.
Our current F group does not look great.

It shows 14 games his first year with a .931 save percentage, and 16 games this past year with .919, so a little under half the games.
I saw that, I remember him losing his share a bit during the season. Numbers look good though.

Wonder if Homer's coming in with the expectation of being the starter; wouldn't expect a goalie of his caliber to transfer only to split duties like he did last year. But who knows. Perhaps TJ played a part in getting him here, seeing that he couldn't stop gushing about UND.
He hasn’t actually played that much. Didn’t he lose his crease each of the last two years?

Does Chyzyk also have scouting information on players in the CHL, or is his knowledge currently limited to US h.s & USHL players? I read Schlossman's article on him & it didn't specify.
Chyzyk knows all the top plays all the way down to 12 years old.

Wow…that really puts things into perspective. Going to be a rough few years.
