I would like to see a lot more out of Brock Schultz. Especially because he is about to age out of juniors and we just committed him a couple of months ago.

No worries, I enjoy tracking their stats as the season progresses!

Def agreed.  I mentioned it on the last stats update that he was sure starting slow for a guy supposedly coming to UND next fall.
He just got traded from Waterloo to SF, so hopefully the change of location gets him more opportunities to flourish and get confidence before next season.

I think they committed him thinking he would make a jump similar to what Pilgrim is doing this year. Hopefully the change of scenery works well for him.

I get that numbers aren’t the only picture, but you are correct, that you would think a veteran would be putting up some offense.  Perhaps they should have looked at flipping Tyden Bergeson, who is doing quite well with Madison, and would fit well with the other Moorhead boys.

Have either of you seen Brock play this year?

I have not. Don’t get me wrong, you need players like Brock to come in and be okay with playing limited minutes for the first couple of years. It’s just going to be hard to justify bringing him in next year over a couple of guys that have been better this year than expected.

There is still a ton of season left for improvement and I hope he shows more offensive production.

I wonder why Simpson isn’t in that lineup?

Maybe they realized that we have nearly a third of the roster and have to pick one less LOL.

I haven't watched Simpson much myself, but from what people say it sounds like he is not very well suited for a bottom 6 role. Maybe they thought they had enough scoring without him and needed more role players. Still surprised they wouldn't take him over some others in a scoring role though

Right…from a pure scoring perspective he’s second in the entire league in points. I’m assuming he’s dinged up and needs some rest…or a character type deal.

[siouxfaninseattle]

Don't you take the best players available?

Bumps was the first thing I thought of
