They also maybe didn't suggest anything to him but rather if he asked they may have been honest and said nothing is guaranteed in terms of top 6 or PP time, and perhaps in reconsidering things, he realized it might be better to be a top dog at Tech instead of potentially getting a bit buried at UND. 2 Quote

He would have to beat out two of Strinden, Menghini, Swanson, Zellers, and James for top 6 ice time on the wing. That is not including anyone else that we are brining in through the CHL. If he struggled to get into the top 6 this year, it would only be harder for him in the future. Out of that group, we are only losing Strinden and James while gaining McKamey, Williams, Schultz, and Simpson for the year after potentially. I anticipate someone getting pushed back a year or changing their commitment. He probably was second guessing his decision and the news last Friday was icing on the cake. You could have penciled him into our top 6 and first powerplay a month ago, now he would be on the second unit and potentially on the third or fourth line. Quote
nascar99 Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago Looks like Ashton Schultz is at Chicago Steel Tryout/Development Camp, implying that he'll be back in junior again this year. Quote

SiouxFanatic Posted 21 minutes ago Posted 21 minutes ago Person over on HFBoards is saying Verhoeff is getting 200k and Reschny 80k to come to UND. Any truth to these numbers as I thought there was bunch of discussion here how the collective doesn’t have this kind of funds. If this is what they’re getting then that confirms Boisvert left for other reasons than the 💰 BU is giving him. Quote

I believe the Reschny amount more than Verhoeff. 200K would probably be one of the highest NIL amount for a NCAA hockey player that I have seen a rumored dollar amount for and I guess I am skeptical.

atxsioux Posted 12 minutes ago Posted 12 minutes ago I'm hopelessly optimistic but I've always thought if UND needs to put up money to get players a quick deposit can always be made from the Engelstad fund. Still a little skeptical thats true tho because I didn't think at all that we had paid them really anything - outside of whatever local sponsor deals they would get through the collective. Quote

I'll be contemplating a lot of things if my kid is outearning my with that kind of income at 16. Obviously I'm thrilled he is coming to UND, but all of this paying of players has gotten so out of control in the past few years. I still think it is just wrecking college sports. Quote

Highly skeptical….those numbers seem high Quote
