Neither has Nino either....as the other poster noted, NYI aren't going to mess with their lineup before the playoffs. Next year he should get his chance though.

One too many question marks don't you think? He has 3 pts in 9 games, no goals, and only 14 shots on net in that time period. Those are not good numbers at all, especially for him being the age he is. After the season there were some that thought he may get a look with the big club (me included) but I'm guessing that's over with now. Hopefully he comes back next year a plays better, which I'm sure he will.

Kristo's struggling.

Sure but he's still a 2nd-4th round freshman defensemen. You are correct that he plays a physical game...I never really thought our D was overly bad last year. Collectively they were fine. At the end of the day, yes Mattson made the stupid spin-o-rama walking the tight rope but our D didn't lose us the game. Our forwards lacked chemistry all year long and our goalies were average at best. Our D didn't play great all year but it definitely wasn't the biggest flaw on last year's team. Going into next year I believe we have the strongest D core in the nation.....easy.

Ladue will be better than both Thompson and Ausmus next year. I think Thompson may be a tad "green" next year...somewhat like Schmaltz was for awhile. Ausmus will be a rock. But Ladue is pretty much a "do-it-all" defensemen. Ausmus and Thompson both have higher ceilings. I still think Ladue will play in the NHL.

Oh I never did....I'm just saying it wouldn't be hard. If you're a half decent athlete in GF you can letter in multiple sports. Where I grew up (south side of GF) we played hockey, baseball, golf, etc. We dominated football until we focused more on hockey. I'm guessing if we stuck with it we would have easily been on the football team too. The best athletes my age all played hockey and focused solely on hockey. The other sports were simply to have fun...nothing serious. You should have seen the guys playing football for our varsity team....borderline athletes at best.

Sorry....but it's not too hard to be a four sport athelete in GF (especially for Central).

You are such loser...bad-mouthing such a decent guy.

You're a mess.

No some of them are blind passes. But all in all, we sure need him.

Google him. Top notch recruit, most likely will go in Rounds 2-4 in this years draft.

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.
