I actually just heard the same thing from a buddy close to the team. Should be nice. He didn't confirm Stecher wasn't coming though, I wonder who the odd man out is.

Like the first post buddy....nice premier.

You have more posts than MafiaMan.

Everyone.

I wouldn't say it was out of the question. He left high school a year early to play in the NA (which is not a terrible league) and he played 2 years in the USHL, both being very productive.

.....dang I can't even believe I responded to a 19 yr old college student. Don't worry when you get in the real world come back and post on big boy topics.

Your comments are so far out there....you don't even make sense.....you're reaching buddy.

I somehow feel robbed.

I agree...there two things you are forgetting....team chemistry and team work ethic.

No way he goes undrafted.

When does the game start?

Sure. I actually like Olson's numbers a lot since he got to Sioux City.....I'll take those all day.

Super inconsistent this year but his numbers are not bad. I thought he would improve a lot from last year but his numbers don't show it. Either way, I know he is a very solid player....very smart player. He will make an impact next year. 100 pts in 110 career games is just fine with me. I also like his career +37.

Agreed. What is the deal with Jack Rowe...is he coming next year? His progression in the USHL does not look very enticing. His +/- has to one of the worst in the league.

Haha.

Hey now.

I really agree with this statement; I have seen him play 5+ times and he is very good. Best defenseman in the USHL...not bad. I'm surprised Thompson is making the jump though....he have been tracking his production and initially thought he was going to have a better year this year. I wished he good get one more year of junior hockey.

Forbort would have been nice to have back.....but I am fine with our D core next year. Simpson should be awesome, Schmaltz and Mattson will make strides and I really like the incoming freshman defensemen.

Yes, I agree they may both get a shot....Kristo is a lock to at least get a shot. I'm not sure about Knight though. Very smart player but I'm not so sure on his motor. Only time will tell.

His numbers are eye-popping but he has had 21 goals and is decent sized. If he doesn't get the call this year he will next year for sure. A first rounder always gets his shot. One thing Brock must work at is his passing (similar situation with Frattin) in tight spaces. Both have great shots but there are a lot of guys in the NHL with cannons. To me Brock seems like a guy who, once he makes it, will be around for a long time. Good blue collar work ethic....great skill.

Ok....it's all up to interpretation. Sources I have actually played for him but I have never witnissed a practice so I truly don't know for sure. Either way I'm pro-Hak and I think he should remain our coach. I get pissed that they lose every year but it's sure fun to see the great players come through our program. We need a couple more studs though....besides Frattin (who is playing less and less) we haven't had an offensive presense in the NHL for some time. I'm guessing Brock should be called up at some point this year.

Ok got ya....I couldn't distinguish where you were going with your first post.

I think I get what you were trying to say but I don't think it came out right. By no means is it a "bad" thing to have defensive scoring. you noted we needed better secondary scoring from lines 2-4...and I agree. But scoring from lines 2-4 have nothing to do with having a nice scoring D core.

The thread has gone way off topic....Hak ain't going anyware for a long time.
