The Sicatoka Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I could see (hard luck injuries) Bast coming back under the exemption to get a year with his brother. I don't see JBD coming back. I've been figuring three defensemen, and needing at least one the following year. As I've noted, if we lose four ... Ethan Frisch becomes the old man of the group. D pipeline (by DOB oldest to youngest): Bast, Morrow, Benoit, Johnson, Dunbar, Ausmus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 More wild speculative guessing ... D pipeline (six, by DOB oldest to youngest): Bast, Morrow, Benoit, Johnson, Dunbar, Ausmus <- and that's the order I'd guess they'd come in as departures occur (maybe Johnson over Benoit) F pipeline (twelve, by DOB, old to young): Portz, Schmaltz, Mongomery, Bowen, Strinden, Kunz, Constantini, Blake, James, Panzer, Singleton, Spicer <--I'd guess that order also with maybe Kunz jumping over Strinden and Constantini jumping over both. (James is the wildcard.) I think Johnson is Thome's replacement and Hedquist is Thome's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxczech29 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Looking at USHL stats; Kunz has good size and seems to have a nose for the net. Looking forward to seeing him at UND. I could see him coming in next year*. Although he may need another year of high school.(?) *caveat being the possibility of returning seniors.

He’s a senior in high school now, so he could come in the fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Not sure if this is the right place for it, but in discussing these schools it name drops "potential first rounder" Scott Morrow as well as Nate Benoit. Also mentions Parise and Pinto as alum of these schools. Parise is the only one of the four in our typical recruiting footprint. https://www.si.com/hockey/news/get-ready-for-the-prep-hockey-conference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(James is the wildcard.) I think Johnson is Thome's replacement and Hedquist is Thome's. I'm guessing that Scheel is back. But pretend he was wooed away by an NHL team wanting a big goaltender needing some depth after winning us #9. That would leave us with.....Maybe Thome.....probably would stay if Scheel left? Johnson, not having a terrible year in the NAHL.....and Feeney. Hedquist needs another year or two in the USHL. Hasn't exactly caught up quite yet, but he's 18 years old too, so he has time. Long story short, figure out a way to keep Scheel around for at least one more year. If he and Thome both were to leave we would be pretty thin in net. No worry goalie lineup next year: Scheel, Johnson, Feeney Kind of worry goalie lineup next year: Thome, Johnson, Feeney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it for what it's worth. He sounds like he's a bit of a handful. With that said, UND is a program that players come to realizing they need to check egos at the door. Hopefully our coaches/locker room can reign him in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just relax. Stop trying to be reasonable. We can't allow that kind of rational thinking on here. The Sioux name and anything relating to it must be erased from history. The ultra sensitive snowflakes will get their feelings hurt and then the Ralph will need to add a safe space room somewhere in the arena.

I haven't seen a guy step up into the offense like that for a while ... probably since Genoway, and as much as I liked Genoway .... those two should not be compared from a skill perspective. I hope to see him jump into the offense more and more this year, and hopefully into next season as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think (and really hope) Berry has got to know Sanderson is coming back considering we don’t really have a backup plan at the moment if he doesn’t. I’m sure we could find one if needed but I’d rather not lol. I’d like to avoid a Tyson Jost situation where they thought he was coming back and then didn’t. Could set us back again.

Big IF, but IF we were to need some short term depth at defense, or any position, there will likely be a lot of skilled transfers available due to the Covid rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
