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.

Yeah, savage has more than a year of eligibility and has been in a really bad spot. If anyone here has watched the WJCs you’ve seen Red’s value.

He’s going to BC

Red Savage in the portal.:.Bubs should be on this one. And yes, I know what I said yesterday about the portal but this one is a must

I didn’t see the transfer portal as a negative going into this year, but I do now. The chance to get an old skater for a year is enticing, but I think it’s a significant negative long term and will hurt our recruiting of higher end players.

Reading the schloss article this morning makes me hate the portal even more. Talking about picking up 1-2 D and potentially a F…are we trying to hide the fact we’re pushing out good young players? Develop the players we have. Open spot on the top pp for a transfer? We’re bringing in multiple skilled Dmen…we have Moore who should get that opp. Not sure what’s going on anymore.

My point is that he wasn’t one of our best forwards. He definitely works hard though, I agree with that.

Berry has to adapt to the newer style of play. Plain and simple. He has to let the skill players play and deal with some of the D breakdowns/learning curve. He has a couple skill guys coming in, they both have to play. If we stick with this chip and chase style of play I’m afraid he won’t make it another year or two.

You mean he works really hard…I wouldn’t say he was one of our best Fs. Fs need to be productive, he really isn’t whatsoever.

27 in between 17 and 9 was a serious head scratcher. Basically punted any chance of an even strength goal. Just helped 9 and 17 defensively. If that’s not playing not to lose I don’t know what is. The entire lineup construction was so we didn’t lose. Crushed offensive though.

The only overage F I’d bring back is Judd. If we keep 13 Bubs will play him over a younger player. Let’s start developing our own. It’s already hurting our recruiting.

28s a solid 2nd third line compliment. After 4 years, that what you’re getting. TBH, I’d welcome him back with open arms.

Overall tough season (obviously). We have a couple decent players coming in next year plus we relied on our freshman group heavily. our D core will be very young next year and I have no clue on the goalie position. I’m guessing we may have more of the same next year. Without the expectations we had going into the year, it’ll hurt less

If if we’re a fifth we’d all be drunk

Just watched the replay…James lost his man. Maybe he was gassed….but he did lose his man. That guy scored.
