I'd say two things:
1) experienced D (Grad, Jr., Jr., the rest were younger)
2) true top line / finishers (No UND player was in the top 30 in the nation scoring)
"it’s clear Kaminski has taken his game to another level. The passes seem crisper and the leadership has ticked up a notch. He knows this is his team and he has something to prove."
Wasn't someone on here talking about a Blue Bloods invitational tournament? That would be a fun way to fill out the non-conference schedule. Could have 2 hosts, with 4 teams going to each site. Switch up the host and the which teams go where every year. Avoid conference matchups. Someone would have to decide who the 8th blue blood is.
