Beyond that…they want their players to play. Skilled guys playing a depth role may be more infrequent. They’ll go where the can play….and get payed a bit.

Thats reaching a bit (as it stands right now). Not saying that wouldn’t come to fruition, but preseason top 10 given how last year played out? Coupled with the fact we lack higher end offensive skill up front? Again I don’t see it. Maybe if Boisvert would have stayed.

I had read rumors they were in play. That was before I even knew he had a brother. But him signing his ELC makes sense too.

Luke Misa to PSU….very interesting. Are they going to pull his bro too? Solid play by the lions

I’m hoping they play a more possession style game. It will really let swanson’s skillset to show.

Agreed. We still could use a dynamic scorer though.

True…but I had higher hopes for Swanson too. Just playing devils advocate.

Kleven is actually turning into a nhl mainstay too

….and finally hit puberty. The skill has been there since he was a mite

You have to include Blake if you’re going to include pinto and Sandy

A year in the ushl will be huge for him.

Nope, not this year. Neither did we.

The big thing folks kind of miss on (as I’ve said a few times) is who’s he going to play with. $ talks, but linemates matter too. And yes, I realize Zellers is coming in and has received a ton of attention recently (all deserved)…..but he’ll be a freshman. Michigan has, at the very least, Michael Hage. They’re probably bringing in more too I’m assuming.

It was 1-2 articles. Not sure how close we actually were. We still don’t know McKenna will go to Michigan for sure. But I’d put it add +90%. I’m sure another program or two will jump in on the bidding war.

His point is valid however. McKenna isn’t coming to UND.

Neutral-zone is a terrible ranking site…even when we’re way up there it’s super flawed. Quantity is heavily weighted.

I’m not saying they will, I’m saying they should/need to. 1st-3rd rd talent. Someone highly offensive.

We have a ton of guys who could fill a “depth role” honestly. We need to either flip someone late or add some stud out of CHL. We need a stud.

Oh I agree about PP.

Well you see, there’s this thing called development. A player has 4 years to play. Typically, players get better and better from year to year. Other times it can take 2-3 years to figure out the level. Sometimes, guys figure it out right away. I think the point (with some posters) is that he’s only just entering his upperclassmen years. It’s still early and his numbers are just avg…not awful. You clearly never played…a$$ hat post.

Yes, both are facts. No blue chip, but puck preps does have him as a 5 star. Should be a decent college player.

5 star

Clarke Caswell to DU. Seems like a really solid get…solid numbers. Captain

He was so good last year. A little dinged up at the end of the season. But overall, he was one of the very best college players I witnessed last year. Again, those players move on.
