Looks decent. I could see Budy odd man out and transferring. Kunz will be higher up next season. Potentially top 6. Strinden will probably bounce someone on that 4th. Also, many are complaining about Calder. He cooled but still had the second most goals on the team and more points than Judd with 5 less games played. I’m fine with him. Team wasn’t very skilled. one really odd stat are kleven and frisch’s assist totals. Frisch had a ton of ice time, including pp time. Six total assists is really really low. We need multiple players than can drive from the back end. I don’t see that right now with Sandy gone.

I heard spicer is coming. Round about local source but said he heard it from the family.

We should be all in on him. Not sure he’d come back but I’m sure Bubs let him know his hand was forced

Spezza, Alfredsson and Heater…those were actually some fun teams to watch. That was a while ago though.

I get where you’re going but wrong game. The quality of hockey in that game vs what I watched in our game vs ND was night and day. And Duluth is better than ND. I enjoy watching players make skilled plays (1v1, passes that players actually catch, maybe even 2 consecutive passes). Our games are all dump and chases. Grind out in the corners. It’s disgusting.

Haha you just not have been watching

But did you watch the game? DU is ridiculously skilled and fun to watch. Sure they only scored 2 but they could have scored 8, Fanti stood on his head. And they won.

Dang Denver is good

Pretty sure he’s breaking Attards goal/pt pace here soon in the ushl. Bring him in and see if you can keep him for 2 years

Agree on a few things, especially the Miller comment. Bast being top 4 in the country on any team got me chuckling. I actually like him, but his D needs a bit of work. Other than Sandy no one should leave early, obviously Frisch and Kleven could…I just don’t see them signing tbh. We’ll bring in a couple nice players (albeit freshman) and should be a tough team to play against next year. I think we’ll still struggle on the skill side of things but we should have chemistry. Overall, coaches need to start hammering the recruiting trail. Show you can snag a blue chip F (or 2) and recruit skill only.

I always cheer for nchc teams so whoever can potentially win I’m for them. I’ll go DU but would have a tough time with the Dogs. Du plays a fun game to watch. They snuck by Lowell but at least their skill was on full display.

cloud is playing their backup right? I know Hrenak was in the hospital last week

I’ll still watch puck. Trying to figure out which NCHC team I want to win. I’m indifferent but if Sandy wins another one of these damn things I may spout off a bit on this forum again

I wouldn’t expect either to come in tbh. I would only expect Livanavage to come in if he has a spot to play.

He def could use another year. Defensively he’s ready I believe. But I’ll respectfully disagree on him having a “nice offensive game”. He has a great shot. But his O game needs a decent amount T of work, which one more year will give him.

We should have brought in Morrow and had Johnson play an extra year of juniors TBH. Morrow was more ready, especially considering Johnson had a significant injury.

The issue wasn’t with the kid. And yes we should have kept him. Huge oversight

Agreed. We’ve missed on fairly significant recruits the past 2-3 years. Kids we would normally get. However, we’ll be another year older next year and we’re bringing in two fairly skilled F’s. We should be better next year but I still have some question marks on our overall recruiting philosophy.

Interesting no one is mentioning Spicer. I’m not saying he HS to come in, but he easily could.

Yes he does. Boy I was shocked at seeing what he’s done prior to that first year natty. I’m all in on Bubs, but that track record is starting to look really iffy.

That’s a solid lineup next year. James will come in and so may Spicer. Need to find a dman to come in. If not, here’s hoping Johnson takes a big jump (which he might). I think Moore is a guy how may take a big jump heading into his upperclassman years. I could see Kunz taking a big step too. Biggest need (from that lineup) is probably goalies. I’m assuming we’ll bring in someone.

I think he could come in, he’s already played half a college season. But, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him play a year of USHL puck if he goes really late in the draft. Go play a ton and put up big numbers.

Denver is at least fun to watch. I would be blown away if they lose. They’re PP is super fun to watch. Lowell better stay out of the box in the third

Denvers second unit is light years better than our top pp unit

They was Hak’s squad (I know I said it..it was still sweet!). Did we really miss the NCAAs two years in a row?
