Yes you have mentioned that before to me.

Yeah, error in my post. When I look at tier 1 kids i always assume Michigan for some reason.

If the season doesn’t go great next year and Strathmann is playing ushl, I’d be a bit concerned that he flips to UM or MSU (home state/B10). Based on what he’s doing in the USHL, he comes across as very ready for the next step. If his team wins it all and he’s logging these huge minutes. Id say bring him in to be safe. But as others have mentioned, going back to juniors would not hurt him, he was a bit streaky at times. Could work on his D game more I suppose. His +\- has always been solid bit that metric can have its flaws when assessing players D. I mean…Sam Rinzel played juniors this year and was a 1st rounder. Situation was vastly different however.

Yep, most of the news has been focused on Perron but Strathmann and Swanson playing really well right now from a production standpoint. Great to see. Swanson having a super good year.

I’m just saying he’d get more exposure at Und (or any other big school) and would be playing with more talent. Which can be fairly important. But you are correct, it has been done before.

I believe the deadline is 5/18. So players can still enter.

I know right. I’ve heard he’s locked into BSU though. Tough because a kid like that should be playing with a bigger program with more exposure. He’s good.

I would be top $ all the coaches are tampering. Or the coaches have someone else (in their network) that is tampering for them. I’m next to certain on it.

Oh absolutely they all do. I know Boris, he’s really good

All these guys work on skating.

Completely agree here. Passing was an issue the past two years I think. Especially watching some other teams play. Much more crisp.

Watching this u18 semi game, BC should be nice next year

Great…one more year of this mess. And like someone else noted, other than the ivy’s, this just crushes the smaller schools.

Agreed, 21 goals is a lot for college puck. Colgate has been done for a while now. I’m guessing his commitment will be quick.

Good call, I missed that

Oh no worries at all. Another thing I look at is stratifying first year guys too. The jump from MN HS/Tier 1 specifically to the USHL is extremely tough. One of the biggest jumps out there. So I’ll filter by rookie scoring and pts/game. I would assume Boisvert is towards the top…with Swanson putting up an extremely good season.

You have to asses by position really. Both Strathmann and Livanavage were top 10 D at pts/gm I really like to look at pts/gm. But I focus more on top 10-25. 60 is probably a bit much. Croal has too many penalties and is really streaky. I’m guessing he has a nice year next year.

Really hope Bubs is all over Henry Lechner

Ethan Philips to WMU (from BU). Righty dman that put up ok numbers the past two years in Boston. Had a really nice USHL season. I remember him being solid in the tourney. Curious if Bubs was after him. 5th year righty dman (4th rounder too).

I believe he announced late last week or this past weekend. Josh Eirnesse (St Thomas) flipped there too. I was actually hoping we were in on him. Put together a really nice season last year.

So Michigan, with all their blue chips…did they win the portal race too?

A little more.

He’s following a decent number of teams, including goofs. Not UND though. I’d say we have next to zero chance with this one. I do have a hunch we’ll be hearing something here soon though

Hagen Burrows (Tonka) committed to Denver

I like the commitment I really do…I just think shaugabay is a wizard. If his work ethic holds…he’ll play a very long time. His vision is translatable skill all the way up.
