Shawn-O Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Extremely disappointing if you ask me. Frattin was poised to have a big season, and I was looking forward to seeing him skate with Malone and VV. But I guess you can't fix stupid. It does make me wonder if Corban Knight is getting a phone call though. ...or Danny Mattson? Quote
summy1977 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 ...or Danny Mattson? That would work too Quote
siouxforeverbaby Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Would they get the call or would Fink? Mattson and Knight both told the coaches that they wanted to spend this year in juniors, Fink as far as I know has not said one way or the other. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 so the roster should look like this it it stays like is and the only thing is adding a 3rd goalie F VANDEVELDE ZAJAC MALONE TRUPP DAVIDSON GREGOIRE HEXTALL LAMOUREUX TOEWS CICHY KRISTO ROWNEY BRUNETEAU ? D GENOWAY LAPOINT MARTO BLOOD FIENHAGE MACWILLIAM GLEASON HILL G EIDSNESS DELL ? took frattin off. i jhave to believe knight or mattson will be enroled right away Quote
Goon Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 took frattin off. i jhave to believe knight or mattson will be enroled right away We don't have enough forwards. 13 isn't very many especially if the Sioux get into injury trouble. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 We don't have enough forwards. 13 isn't very many especially if the Sioux get into injury trouble. they will replace frattin with someone and we will have 14 forwards which we were gona have with frattin Quote
MissSioux85 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 This info was added to the article: Frattin Quote
redwing77 Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 No knock on Mattson, but I hope Hakstol brings in Knight. Quote
Big A HG Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 No knock on Mattson, but I hope Hakstol brings in Knight. No doubt. From all the knowledge gained about Mattson over the last 4 months or so, I'd say he definitely needs another year before coming to UND. On the flipside, as already mentioned, Knight seems much more college ready. Quote
Sodbuster Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Just reading this at last tonight......I'd hoped that there would finally be some real hockey news this off season, but...........be careful what you wish for. Quote

brianvf Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 In other WCHA team news: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/blogs/2009/...rphy_schroeder/ Rumors floating around that Vancouver wants to sign Schroeder and have him go the CHL route for a season. If you're asking why would Schroeder leave university to play junior hockey, my guess is the Canucks aren't that happy with the Gophers program right now. And if Patrick White is staying in Minny, then that might also tell you how the Canucks feel about him and his progress within the Gophers system. Not exactly a glowing endorsement of the UMN coaching staff/program. But to be fair, this is written by a Canadian journalist, so he will of course be slanted towards the CHL vs NCAA. I really don't see this happening, but I guess we'll see what happens. Should be interesting. Quote

Should be interesting. saw this as well, funny that some discredit blogs. there is a big difference between a fan blog and a reporters blog. just a faster way to report some news really. i say jordan stays at minnesota and then leaves as soon as they are done and yes not a great endorsement as well no matter that college team if could ahve been Quote
Shawn-O Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 i would bet on knight to come in We should know by end of business tomorrow as classes start Monday. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 We should know by end of business tomorrow as classes start Monday. yeah it should be confirmed tomorrow Quote
OETKB Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 If Knight is the replacement, then I'd have to say this year's freshman class of forwards is about as good as it gets, as a whole. AJHL ROY (Knight), Playoff MVP (Rowney), and two USHL All-Stars who were both at the World Juniors camp. Not bad. Quote

siouxweet Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 yeah it should be confirmed tomorrow brad just confrmed it via twitter. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted August 21, 2009 Author Posted August 21, 2009 per brad Knight's the guy It has been confirmed that Corban Knight will join the Sioux this fall. Knight said that he will make the drive from his hometown of High River, Alta., to Grand Forks tomorrow. Classes start next week. Knight will wear No. 10. Quote

brianvf Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Great news. Welcome aboard...a year early. Quote
redwing77 Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Again, no knock on Mattson, but a wise choice by Hakstol. This way Mattson can take a year and develop the skills that will help him get drafted in the spring and dominate at UND after that. Quote
