Exactly. Also , the only thing hold slavin back was the signing bonus. He was getting low-balled and the Canes finally came back and gave him a good deal.

Supposedly he was shafted on his signing bonus after the season however that was upped today. He got what he was looking for.

Can UND still give out the "Sioux Award"?

Saad was going to get an offer sheet, 100%. There was no way chi could match. At least this way they got two players and 2 potential prospects. Again, they were about to lose Saad for a late first rounder most likely (next year). Bowman did what he could with almost no leverage. The hawks will be ok, we've seen this all before.

It is just as easy to assume something as to assume nothing at all. Only time will tell I guess.

Probably. Tough situation because he could really use another full year playing junior A hockey, getting tons of ice time in all situations. He'll sit on the bench most of next year if he comes in. Could be a tough situation to bounce back from heading into his soph year.

Vandevelde signed a two year deal today. I wonder when we'll hear on Parks?

Didn't hit the stat sheet but i agree. He had some good games at the end there. I definitely think we'll hear from him again in some capacity.

Agree 100%. I actually pegged him as a top 6 forward. During the tourney, he was noticeable. As for our freshman, Boeser is going to be legit. However there will be some freshman that won't adjust to the college speed as fast. Hopefully guys like chyzk and Johnson have huge years. I could actually ser someone like T Olson having a productive third line role. Pogo should also have a bigger year.

Dang, I was in the minority however I was curious to see what he would bring in his upper class years. I could always see the offensive upside however he never put it all together in his first two years. As this is his career, I definitely understand why he is leaving. A roster spot was never guaranteed for him.

http://nesn.com/2015/06/bruins-roster-reset-projected-lines-pairings-after-nhl-draft-trades/ Are you sure? Their roster looks a tad thin.

You made a great point on why Sundogs should never be chosen as our nickname. Nobody understands the first time they hear it.

Because I don't repeatedly post my support of the nickname I want I get lumped into the Sundog grouping?

Rally around one nickname? So does that have to be Roughriders? You guys are too funny.

The USPHL is a pay to play league. I compare it to the NA3, I could be slightly off on that though. Oh, Shaw was an over ager...makes sense than. Thanks. I shocked Shaw wouldn't even be worth a 7th rd flyer. Wilkie was an over ager too. There could be a chance that Shaw is smaller than what's listed.

It has something to do with his contract, he is still collecting $. He is retired but can't retire or he would be throwing away a ton of money. I believe there is one more year.

After being shocked that Shaw, Keane, Bast, and Peski didn't get drafted I did some research as far as the league breakdown of players drafted this year. I excluded the CHL leagues, USHL, NCAA and Europe leagues as many players come from those leagues. NAHL - 5 players (one in the third and four in the 7th) USPHL - 1 player (6th) BCHL - 1 (7th) The Canadian junior A leagues typically produce way more draft picks than that, especially the BCHL. I was really shocked by the above totals. I have heard that the NA is growing considerably but it looks as though it will soon pass the BCHL. The USHL is still head and shoulders above the NA and other junior A leagues so I hope many of our commits think hard about playing a year or two in that league prior to coming to campus. It would obviously help their draft stock as well. The fact Shaw didn't get drafted is mind boggling.

Michigan did great in the draft this year (as is typical most years). Red has to make something happen soon.

Congrats to the future und draftees. Very shocked Shaw and bast didn't get picked. Not sure about peski. Maybe these guys re enter and get picked.

No way on the second, maybe 3rd so they can get Hanafin.

Yeah, doubt they're done though. Subban could be dished.

Haha

Ok, tough to tell in basketball. It seems after the lotto picks everyone else is a toss up. Guys at ESPN seemed to like the trade. Again, I am no basketball expert ?

I am no basketball expert however i know enough to know he's good, and is a first round talent. What did they give up for him?

Wow, I agree with your entire ranking other than Sundogs. That has to be #7 behind Green Hawks.
