I was just saying that was the rumor going around that he probably heard. 

Like I said earlier; now that the Blackhawks and Kings season's are over, we will have a clearer picture on who is staying and who is leaving.

LJ's injury was a sprain doesn't need surgery.

If true,  the original rumor was definitely rumor only,  which was my point in the first place

Tim Hennessey said this morning that he thinks LaDue and LJ will probably sign, but thinks there is a good chance Schmaltz comes back.  Would love to get all 3 of them back, but I guess I would take that scenario given they could possibly lose all three.

I always thought of LJ as a 4 year player

[UND1981]

It's huge if Schmaltz returns and we reload our top line.

Forgive my laziness, but what was the deal with the mystery surrounding Tim Hennessey late last week?  Did he make a change of some kind?

Did he come out?

 

OK . . . smiley.   Not that there is anything wrong with  . . . .

I've heard from someone close to LaDue and LJ both have signed.  Best of luck to both of them with their pro careers.  Also sounds like Luke's knee is doing better and he may/should be skating again next week.

Really hope LJ does well in the pros

If true, good luck in the NHL, LaDue! You were a solid defenseman for UND while you were here. Plus, always good to see local ND kids playing for UND.

Crossing my fingers and hoping Schmaltz stays.

[siouxbois10]

Congrats to Ladue for signing!! 

Just a guess, but I would think this is what our defense would look like. Correct me if Im wrong.

T. Poolman   Ausmus

Shaw            Wolanin

Evers            C. Poolman

I'd be shocked to see an all rookie dpairing.  They will split Shaw and Wolanin to play with a freshman apiece

The Mayor is a good source. He's pretty dialed in.

That's still a pretty good d-core.

I was actually curious to see if they split Ausmus and Poolman and have them play with a freshman.

Herald update on LaDue and LJ:

You're up, Nick!  Even with four early departures, if Nick returns I would say that UND is still the preseason #1.  Tons of talent returning and incoming!

I think you have to have a pairing that you know can handle other teams' top lines.  Gotta keep 1 really good, experienced unit together

[DAR]

I am surprised about LJ...he will never sniff the NHL.  I think he stays

[R_Schneider_4]

Luke is gone unfortunately 

[scpa0305]

congrats to Ladue, given his age the time is probably now. The LJ signing is a big head scratcher. The only other similar signing to his (that I can think of) is probably Dell. Dell had heavy incoming competition though.
