Sounds like he was gonna be a walk-on at Minnesota but LSSU offered some sort of scholarship so he decided to reconsider.

Also it said he wanted to play with his brother at LSSU...but seriously yes.

A better conference.

Moving to a stronger conference.

That's true, but I'd be shocked to learn that would be the reason any player would choose LSSU over UMinn.

Come on guys don't be so short sighted.  There's lliterally not a single program in the WCHA that will have more success than Minnesota, Michigan, or Wisconsin over the next years, not one.  Heck I bet Penn State has a better chance at long term success than every team in the WCHA.  Maybe Mankato can sustain this recent success with Hastings, maybe.  But generally it's a conference made up entirely of average to bad programs who are good once every ten years.  This past year they were a good conference but it was clearly an anomaly.

I see Hastings leaving to Omaha when Blais retires.

But I also see the WCHA producing one or two teams annually that can make some post-season noise. 

 

This year's were MSU-PurpleCow and Michigan Tech.

How will you be measuring success?

.. but both of them made a first round exit too.

True, but Michigan Tech outplayed SCSU by a wide margin and deserved to win.  Goalie Lindgren is the only thing that kept SCSU from getting blown out.  Then it came down to bounces and SCSU won the game on a lost edge by the D-man.

What a night and day difference. Here on Siouxsports, most posters are hoping the Sioux players stay. Over on GPL, they are hoping many of their players leave.

They wanted to clean house over there.

Miami just lost some recruit to the OHL.

 

It wasn't Jack Roslovic, was it? 

He was playing very well in the U18 Worlds on the same line as Matthews.

The better Gopher teams are typically the ones where they have a large freshman class.  That's why they were so good last year(2013-2014) after losing Schmidt, Alt, Haula, Bjugstad, and Budish the year before.  For some reason when the Gophers return most of the team they tend to under perform.  It's like they forget how hard they had to work the prior year to get where they did.  This past season is a perfect example of this.  A large freshman class, especially when some play a prominent role seems to be a nice infusion of not just talent but players who are very motivated to proves themselves. Next years team won't be as talented but they will have a better record and season than last year.

Cole Coskey. Still a pretty good player though.

Just a hunch, or what? I see a lot of holes and not a prospect crops as good as 2013-14.
