Koules....there are many other players from other teams as well (kid who was supposed to go to WMU). I wasn't simply talking about UND. Maybe I should have said every so often because "a lot" seems like it happens 50% or whatever.

Yes it has. Are you simply asking do USHL players go to the CHL? Or are you lumping in all former USHL players....including those which decommit....which are obiously a ton. Schmaltz is the same age as all those NTDP that decommit every year and head north. Also, I was including NTDP players in that comment, as they are affiliated with the USHL.

I thought the same thing....however that has happened many times. It really depends on which "advisors" he goes with and who drafts him. When you get drafted it is pretty easy to be persuaded. They pretty much tell you everything you want to hear and push the CHL route as they have a financial interest in that league.

Agreed, I have thought this the whole time. There was someone on this site who kept saying N Schmaltz is a lock to come in like they had an inside contact or something. I need that reassurance again.

...oh man. Hear we go. Neither should leave....it would be unfortunate. For some odd reason I feel like Rocco will leave. I am also starting to think that Nick Schmaltz is a risk to head to the CHL...and that may lead to J Schmaltz heading to the AHL. St. Louis is so deep on their blue line, I think it would be dumb for Schmaltz to leave.

I forgot about him...I too sure hope he figures it out. His numbers in juniors were nice....he may be more of the OD mold.

I agree....Nschmaltz with parks and Mac. Rocco, Jewels and Johnson. Gaarder, OD and Pattyn (all seniors, will be tough to play against). St. clair, chyzk and Simo. There is it Hak. Chyzk is the player I believe could take someone's spot, above.

OMG....I think I just agreed with DaveK. This is an odd start to the day.

I don't believe any other team comes close.

Haha...I doubt it. Mn played terrible in that game....it was glorified men's league. What were the shot attempts....something like 90-75. That more than up and down play.

Why? Also, why does everyone on this site bash former coaches. It wasn't Eades fault he's gone.

No doubt in my mind.....3-2 UND

Yeah I did read that too. Do you know what kind of academic benifits they get (% of tuition)? Or are you guessing that they get most covered because it was mentioned they get other tuition benefit options. Either way...the thing that sticks out to me was the 1 draft pick thing. On the flip side, Union may be hurting next year as they did have a decent amount of seniors on this team. Also, I think Shayne G. is going to bolt.

Does everyone on the U-18 teams accelerate their schooling? Almost all of them are going to college next year however they all appear to be in that "junior year of high school" age. I see some with January/Feb birth years but Gersich is June I believe; Larkin, Milano and Tuch appear to be too. I wonder if Gersich was old for his grade.

Haha... I know what you mean but Hak isn't going anywhere. The crazy thing is that Union had 1 drafted player and 0 scholorship players at a pretty expensive college.

T Olson has been cooling off a bit while he team has been putting up big point totals...my buddy had been saying Peterson is by far and away their best player.

Haha agree....mattson isn't going to be he odd man out his senior year. Second most points from our dmen.

I agree.

Shaw coming in would be such a huge mistake, it would be the classic example of a kid (or his family) trying to accelerate his development too fast. He is a solid young player in the USHL but not dominate. He would come in and ride the pine the entire year...that is a lose lose for everyone. He should stay in the USHL and continue his development....he is only 17. Actually now that I think about it, is schmaltz leaving then?

I'm shocked ....mn is making so many simple mistakes....they never did that against us.

Ok union is winning I'll watch the 3rd....which crews are reffing?

I would be floored if pattyn is top 6. He could improve though so who knows. Schmaltz has to be top 6. Unless Johnson gets a tad better (which I know he will) I could see him potentially losing a top 6 spot as well. I hear you note the getter, setter, shooter thing a lot. Its honesty not like that. Sure you need a setter and shooter, I guess, but this getter thing confused me greatly And I don't know what this even means. To me, top 6 lines need to have, at the very least, two getters. In new age hockey there are combo players, etc. I don't know, just confused by that.

Johnson and Simonson played together in high school, a lot has happened since then. They could have some chemistry or they couldn't who knows. They never played together at Lincoln as Simonson wasn't on those teams.

Just read that.

As I've stated 3-4 times...I am talking in the nuetral zone. No worries though...I honestly need to attempt to forget about last night. It's making me sick again. Have a nice offseason guys!
