I guess it’s basically a sure thing. Why ado you say that? I track players fairly closely, but admittedly, I don’t focus much on goalies unless they’re high high end.

Jake Fisher, who opened his recruitment up, chose DU tonight. Great spot for him

Boy was he a good HS player. Definitely intriguing but size was always a concern for me. Really skilled kid from what I remember.

Completely agree. Without better O (specifically vision) he’s going to have a very hard time staying in the NHL.

That’s your opinion.

Agreed. However he’d be a decent fit with Denver.

I actually had high hopes with constantini. Was noted as a draft sleeper prior to getting drafted. I thought he was going to put up bigger ushl numbers but after his frosh season basically forgot about that. Really confused what happened there. Johnson made some bonehead plays too but Moore, farmer, Frisch, etc also made some bonehead plays. Anyone remember 15 and 25 the first couple months of the season? They were on the ice for almost every goal there for a while. Moore’s no looker to the front of the net during the DU game? 6 pts in 13 games…+3 and a 3rd rounder? That deserves some leash unless there’s something else going on. I know nothing about the kids character…just have to trust the staff.

Agreed. We need Gaber and Frisch back. We need caufield to come back and play a depth role (maybe it clicks for him next season who knows). Could really use Kleven back. I know it isn’t happening but it would be huge.

Good thing schloss pointed it out

For the incoming freshman absolutely. Think about the leash they’ll have. It benefits Strathmann the most as he plays wagon wheel hockey. Kid like that comes in any earlier and he’d get “Johnson treatment”

I do agree with a couple points you made. 6 and 18 were misused a bit, more so 6. However who knows what type of kids they were. Also, as someone else pointed out, 18 did get looks at top 6 here and there and didn’t produce. Curious how other players had such long leashes while still not producing. I do agree on your form in the road comment. This program has to win to recruit…we don’t have the campus the programs do.

Bite your tongue

yeah, he did get a few looks early on. Unless they are high end, underclassmen can be hit or miss at times. Curious how constantini will do moving forward. I really dislike the portal. Oh well. Emerson should be close to a top 6 lock. He’s really good.

What!!! Edit- I thought Moore was 24 there for a second Constantini was a head scratcher. During his frosh season I was impressed, really impressed at times. This year he was buried a bit in the lineup and never worked his way back. I track numbers pretty closely and I’ve yet to see a free fall in production like his (that I can remember).

Well they gave the kid 5 games…in the playoffs. That’s a fairly stiff penalty from what I’ve seen historically.

His play picked up tremendously the last handful of games or so. Coming back is not a negative. I’ve said it all along, he has things he needs to work on and the A is a much tougher league than NCAA. Coming back he could continue to develop and he’s really not old at all.

Because he didn’t get a game that first year? Didn’t he have to redshirt?

Nope, transfer portal is here to stay. Covid was just a “gas on the fire” type activity to the portal as certain players have that one extra year to play with.

Isn’t it 1? He never played college puck that first year of the pandemic (19-20) he was playing a full year in the USHL. I guess I don’t fully understand the Covid year rules.

Hopefully a good recruiter that is a bit younger.

Alex cambell entered the portal…I believe he’d be a good fit to our team. Skilled forward.

He already committed to brown a week ago or so

Jack hughes (not that one) in the portal…he’s an interesting one too. But again, east coast kid so guessing we have no chance

Interested in Prokop?

100% agree…either MN or Michigan. BC or BU would be enticing as well.
