UNDhoops Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 i still think ladue stays because he wont want to have to take a 2 way deal (and it would have to be tougher to crack the kings roster than some of the other places he could sign) and i think poolman will want to stay a year to play with his brother. Question is, if we only need to bring in 1 or 2 d men, who are they? Quote

I don't know his situation though. Thompson's relatively young, too. If he stays, Thompson won't turn 21 until a month before his senior season starts. Paul LaDue was already 21 when his freshman year started. 1 Quote

The choices would be Bast, Evers, Johnson, Kiersted, or Peski. Looking at the ages Bast will be 20 in December, Evers will turn 19 in May, Johnson just turned 20, Kiersted turned 18 earlier this month, and Peski turned 19 in March. Bast is the interesting one to me as he was supposed to be here in the fall but after missing much of this season with injury I could see him playing another year of juniors. The plan for Evers had been for him to come in last season so he has already been pushed back one year so I wouldn't be surprised to see him here in the fall. When Johnson committed it said he could come in for either 16 or 17 depending on who leaves. I think Kiersted was a 16 or 17 when he committed so I'd guess unless we lose LaDue, Poolman, and Thompson he plays another year in the USHL, Peski was scheduled to come for 16 but it did say in the article when he committed that he was flexible if that changes.

UND1981 Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Week 1 - Boeser (stay) Week 2 - Stecher (sign), Ausmus (stay) Week 3? - LaDue (sign), Thompson (sign) Week 4? - Poolman (stay) Week 5? - LJ (sign) Week 6? - Schmaltz (stay) Quote
charliefunny Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Ladue: Drafted in 2012 (age 24 in Sept), think the Kings have till Aug 2017 to sign him (Like Gregoire)? I read http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/paul-ladue/: Future LaDue is in his junior season at the University of North Dakota in 2015-16. A strong two-way defenseman who can control the play with his skating and contribute to the attack, he has been a big part of the Fighting Sioux' success under first-year head coach Brad Berry. An assistant captain, LaDue's game is close to NHL-ready but with the depth in the Kings' system he may use his final year of college eligibility in 2016-17. 1 Quote
