At least if Schmaltz comes back, I think he is the key player, otherwise we don't have a natural set-up guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ted2you Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 People were worried last year with people leaving... What happened: 11 freshman=National Champions.... We have to reload on the fly.... Good news is we lose elite talent and replace them with elite talent!!! Expect another fantastic freshman class!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kings and Blackhawks seasons are done, I am willing to bet that LaDue will sign as will LJ. Schmaltz is a dark horse who hasn't ever really indicated which way he was leaning. If I were a betting man, I would bet on him coming back. Disclaimer: I have no knowledge of any of these players and what they will do. My statement is based off of observation and past experiences with players like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxczech29 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I thought I read somewhere that LJ had already signed with the Hawks. Was I dreaming that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if that happened and it wasn't posted on this forum. I think someone may have said he was going to and the Hawks were going to handle some surgery for him, but I believe it was pure speculation. Nothing official yet.

There really isn't any rush for players to decide to leave or come back. I would think long and hard about it as well and not go off emotion. It's easier to make a rash decision whether to stay or go, than it is to really take the time to weigh options. It's funny how impatient we are as fans; we consider two weeks after the season ends thinking "long and hard." I spend months figuring out my career path and job offers, why is it any different for these guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you, these players need to take time and do what is right for them and their futures ... BUT .... Of course we are impatient as fans, we just saw an amazing team win the national championship, and we are all on a hockey high. We just want the reassurance that we will have all of the solid talent to go Hang 9! Granted I think we always have the talent to make a run and win in, but we're greedy, we want the proven talent that has been here and done it.

Granted I think we always have the talent to make a run and win in, but we're greedy, we want the proven talent that has been here and done it. This program is really special and as I was reading this week on a gopher blog we "get the extra year or two" from players. That's exactly it, we have first rounders playing until they are sophomore or juniors. When was the last time we lost a 1st rounder after their freshman year going into their soph year? Once they come on campus our tradition, pride, and culture takes over. Hats off to Hak, Berry, Blais, etc for the culture that was brought back after a couple down years with Gino. I feel like we reload, not rebuild. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tho0505 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Worst case scenario, is still a great scenario for Sioux fans. Leaving (hypothetically speaking) LaDue, Johnson, Schmaltz, Thompson, Stetcher Coming (Potentially) Jost, Yon, Bowen, Hoff, Poolman, Johnson, Bast Solid top 10 recruiting class, if not top 5, and returning hopefully 11 freshman. Six freshman saw significant playing time and will fill the voids left by our early departures. With Schmaltz and either LaDue or Johnson, we'll be ranked #1 out the gate.
