Benny Baker Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Just speculation, but I assume Schmaltz will wait until after Chicago's developmental prospect camp this July. After that, he and the Blackhawks will probably have a better understanding of whether Schmaltz will be (NHL v AHL) next season is he signs. It wouldn't surprise me to see his decision come late July/early August. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could very well happen but I would hope that Schmaltz would have more respect for the program (coaches and players) than that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. I'm guessing he's waiting to see how he did on his finals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with respect or lack of respect. The kid needs to make the right decision for himself, and its a pretty big one. When a team holds your draft rights, you also have to take that team into consideration as they have invested in you. They may want to see how he stacks up at development camp. If I recall a similar thing happened a few years back with JT Miller deciding in late summer that he would not come to UND. Disappointing sure, but we ended up getting Gaarder out of the deal. I think Nick will end up staying, but can't fault a kid for doing his due diligence to completely weigh out his options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure JT Miller's move was seen as pretty bush league within the college hockey circles... I think Schmaltz decides before then. I honestly think he's just making sure he makes the right decision which is fine IMO. It is only May 5th. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that but he must also understand that the program needs to move forward. If a player leaves early, thats fine; just give the coaches enough time to find a replacement. Look what happen a few years back with Dell. He turned pro early and didnt have the offers that he thought he had asked to come back, by that time Hak had already found a replacement goalie (Clarke Saunders). It's all speculation anyway and I'm sure he is keeping the coaches in the loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT Miller, Stefan Matteau, Miles Koules, Ryan Mantha, Brendan Lemieux, Ryan Gropp all are non existent to me. I also have to chuckle at Miles Koules as he bought into that WHL/OHL/QMJHL crap and now he is tolling around in the ECHL. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably thinking that's what happens when you stick it out and play for a great college hockey program... tbh we were and are a stronger team without him. There was no love lost from the fans or the players when he bolted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is Miller never made it to campus. Nick just won a national title with the team. I'd be surprised if he would announce that late.

When he told NHL reporter Mike Morreale at the Combine that, "he will let the team that selects him determine whether he ends up at UND or the Ontario Hockey League", is when I lost respect for him.

UND-RedSox fan Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Jordan Schmaltz made his decision at the end of May last year. I'm expecting a similar time frame for Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Miller and Tambelleni were the only ones hard to swallow. The rest allowed time to fill their spots. Lucked out that Miller's replacement worked out well for us. Gerlach was a head scratcher coming from Texas and playing in CO. Hope he enjoys Medicine Hat.
