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. Yes, that would not be good. I think Johnson could probably come in along with L. Bast and likely Morrow. So, that would leave us with: Sanderson, Frisch, Kleven, Moore, L. Bast, Morrow, and Johnson. 3 minutes ago, siouxfan512 said: 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. Yep. This rule could change things big time for many, many teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I said it earlier, but I think he'll be NCHC POY type player. He's unbelievable. Been quarterbacking PP2 for months now and could easily be on PP1, but we have an embarrassment of riches. He'd be PP1 on nearly every team in the country. He'd run everything next year.

But, Sanderson (assuming/thinking/hoping/praying he stays), Frisch, Kleven, and Moore is a solid start. We're so fortunate. Sandy, Frisch, Kleven, and Moore? Any program would be stoked to roll those two d-pairings out on the ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodness. Other than a single Tweet that obviously was planned, composed, and required some thought, and reflection by the author, and served as his official introduction to the UND hockey community and a significant milestone in his life...what else would I have to go on? Can we not assess or judge people on their own acts and words? Or is play on the ice the sole determinant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all have a lot to say about Moore in his current position, but you can see flashes of absolute greatness in him, offensively. He'll definitely get better defensively.

Feels like not a lot to judge someone's character on, however. Knowing our program and our reputation and history of recruiting the talent level and type of person we recruit (with a few exceptions and incidents, of course), I'd say that gives some solid insight that the kid is likely pretty well-rounded.

Pegged him as a bruiser/enforcer type that was going to sprinkle in a bomb or two. I've been happy with all aspects with him. I wouldn't mind seeing him adding more assists, sure.

I know Stoney was clear this is not the MM situation, but this year reiterated what we already knew. This team is far bigger than any 1 guy. MM would have been a nice talent, but the team is perfectly fine without him. I don't care who it is, I don't ever want to see the wrong kind of guy in this program. It can tear a team and a program apart. If a guy is going to put on the UND sweater, he better be prepared to buy into the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid plays a wagon wheel style of hockey (which I absolutely love by the way....think how Sanderson has been playing lately) and I know I've heard from good sources his pops controls where he plays based on systems/style ran. He's a super confident right handed D man that has to end up here. Can't lose that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip this to the Ottawa POV: They know what Wolanin looked like in college when they brought him in. And frankly, Wolanin needed the fourth year of college polish to his game but didn't get it. With that history, and you have to figure Sanderson wants another WJC, I'd hope Sanderson does a second year of college. After that, all bets are off.

The Sicatoka Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 The UND coaches "get book" on a kid before they go after them. They know what they can and can not manage, can and can not accept. Trust Bubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Brent Johnson named to top USHL prospects game. Last year it introduced the casual prospect followers to Sanderson. I'm torn on whether Sillinger should qualify since he's only playing USHL while WHL is postponed. https://www.ushl.com/news_article/show/1153165 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
