  1. This line of thinking supports my theory that Ladue has serious thoughts of staying and they want to put on the Power Play. It is pretty unusual to see this level of recruiting for a player to sign.  Anyone know what the rules of engagement are for players and teams?

     They could possibly come because they heard that UND just upped its game within the player development portion of the building.  Who knows, maybe they are looking at upgrading their own facility and they need ideas.  It wouldn't be the first NHL team to visit another arena to get ideas.  Back to this thread, are there any other Kings prospects on this team?

     

    He's the only one I can think of.

  2. Who have they lost?

     

    Massa, if he didn't burn the red shirt he had his junior season he'd be back next year giving them a good chance the win the league. Goaltending is going to be a big question mark at Omaha next year.

  3. Miami lost a ton, wow.

    Their only remaining offensive players will be Louis and Kuraly.

    Ouch.

     

    As I said earlier, if they were going to win a title...this would have been their year to do it.

     

    You can say the same thing for Omaha.

  4. Another thing to think about on why Rob Blake came to Grand Forks to talk to LaDue and the coaching staff. This was Blake's second season as Assistant GM of the Kings, and has most likely heard how the program is ran at UND and wanted to see for himself. If Blake was just here to talk LaDue into signing why make the effort to go to the REA and meet the coaches and see the arena. 

  5. Meh--really didn't fit into the Sioux's plans with what we've got coming in and the way he dresses and all . . .

     

    I'd rather the coaches get Eeli Tolvanen, his brother who is the goalie for Minot in the NAHL is committed to Northern Michigan. 

  6. I would guess Eichel would be more like <0.5% likely to stay.

     

    I don't think I would be so quick to automatically send Matthews to BU either.  They will lose a ton next year.  They only have 3 seniors but Hohmann and Rodrigues had over 90 pts combined last year.  Their stud goalie in O'Connor also already has one foot out the door and has already been in contact with NHL teams.  Behind him they will have a sophomore who only started 6 games for them last year (not sure how good he is but his stats look pretty average and he will have big shoes to fill).  They also have several juniors who could easily jump to the next level after big years this past season in O'Regan (5th round, SJ),  Oksanen (FA) and Grzelcyk (3rd round, BOS).  So they are basically losing their entire first line, their goalie and they could potentially lose any of their next 3 best remaining skaters (points wise).  That would be hard for any team to replace much and they weren't an especially deep team last year either.

     

    Grzelcyk has said he will return next season.
