Just a hunch. I think we get everyone back but Pooly and Peski.

If that happens, will we only see the NTDP guys? Honestly, that's the ideal situation, if Moore / Bast and Miller are ok delaying one more year.

I think JBD is gone. Just because of the Ottawa factor. Those Canadian teams are always rushing prospects, and he’s a 1st rounder.

That'd be my guess.

Sure, but I think it's pretty clear that the Sens trust our coaching and development

Sure. Doesn’t mean they don’t want him in their system though.

Of course. However, the Sens aren't one or two defensemen from relevancy. I think they may value these guys developing in a program that they trust.

Lets hope so since the top 2 D-men in their pipeline are in Grand Forks.

Bast is a 2000 YOB. 
Moore and Miller are 2001s. 
The phrase "age out of junior eligibility" is in play. 

Signing Kleven and Sanderson (both 2002s) makes me wonder if we're not at risk of losing four (Poolman, Peski, Kierstad, JBD) at season's end. You'd back fill with Bast (age out otherwise), Moore, and the NDTP guys. (My assumption: Miller would delay.) 

(That scenario would be messy: Rieger, Gabe Bast, Tychonick, Frisch, and four freshmen. Not much experience on the ice and a bulge in the defensive recruiting cycle.)

Ottawa left Wolanin (Rd4, #107) for three college seasons. What do they do with a Rd1 and a Rd2 ...

I’m not sure Tychonick is a top 2 D-man in their pipeline, for the record.

For who? I know you mentioned Bast, but he's not going to Age out of Junior Eligibility if he doesn't play College next year, he has one more year after this. 

Side note: There are guys this year that are June 1999 playing Juniors, Bast is November 2000 -- just for a potentially next year comparison.

[The Sicatoka]

OK, you got me there. Bast doesn't age out in 2020 (assuming his team isn't carrying too many over-agers). My brain was using "2021" in the math for some reason.

2 more NLI’s signed.

The 3 decommitts don’t bother me one bit. They weren’t going to crack the lineup next year. Glad to see Berry and company have these hard chats before the players get here.  

Id like to see another big name forward recruit commitment soon.

Technically they weren’t even going to be here next year.

Randklev honestly had a Yon type prep career but hasn't been great in juniors with injuries playing a big part obviously.  Good luck to the kid, being a local kid, but don't think had he committed he would have gotten a lot of ice time whenever he got to campus.

Huh? Randklev has no junior eligibility left.

I was mainly referring to the other two, but point taken.

I see no way he makes it here. I believe he still has junior eligibility?

Jackson Kunz and Jake Schmaltz with goals tonight for Green Bay.  Is Kunz just filling in during a break at Shattuck, or did he leave Shattuck?
