as15 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 I wouldn't be so sure, he could be a call up as early as next year. He was almost a 50 goal scorer in the WHL two seasons ago. Quote

He'll be a call up this coming year, if not, the next. In his short time with UND, he definitely had moments where he showed some big-time skill. 1 Quote
tho0505 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 2 hours ago, DAR said: He will never sniff the NHL Sour grapes? This thread has turned petty pretty quick... Tambellini leaving the season early hurts, but it's still okay to wish him well at the next level. He's got a great chance with his frame to make the NHL. He had a solid first season in AHL as well. JT Miller situation was completely different; just decommitted and headed north (as lot of top end players are tempted to do). Would have loved to have him on campus, but his career is turning out okay....... You win some and you lose some in recruiting in any sport. What hurts is when it happens mid-year, ie Tambellini, Okposo, it's nearly impossible to fill a void like that. Our coaches plan during recruiting to lose a view players to the CHL, lack of develop, etc. We have far more players committed come to GF then spots to fill year in and year out, so we'll be just fine.

tho0505 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Speaking of Schmaltz leaving or staying. Again he should take his time in deciding and no it doesn't leave UND in a bad place. We have the committed recruits to backfill. Yes, it will hurt to lose arguably the best passer in college hockey and a 1st round pick, but let's not forget our culture at UND is second to none. Our culture promotes and praises our players for reaching the next level pro, semi pro, overseas; we will be lucky to have him another year. I'm sure he'll wait until after prospect camp as a lot of players do who are on the fence...and he SHOULD wait until then to make an informed decision about his future. 1 Quote

People forget that Jeremy Bracco left BC early this past season, and ended up having a pretty nice year at Kitchener. You always wonder what teams could have accomplished if those players had stuck around. Quote
Mhockey Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Does anyone know the story why tambelini left UND early? Quote

The comments about Schmaltz hurting UND came from the comment about him waiting until the end of July to make a decision. At that point they have incoming recruits figured out. Quote

It was playing time, must've not realized that in NCAA, you have to earn it. He took the easy route to get more playing time. Quote Ultimately, Tambellini left UND because he felt the Western Hockey League and Hitmen offered him more opportunity. The Dub not only has a more extensive schedule, as the league plays 32 more regular-season games than the NCAA, but the 19-year-old is also playing a bigger role in Calgary than he was in North Dakota because of the age difference in the two programs. “It came down to that I wanted to play more games,” says Tambellini Link: http://sports.yahoo.com/juniorhockey/blog/buzzing_the_net/post/calgary-hitmen%E2%80%99s-adam-tambellini-talks-about-his-decision-to-leave-und?urn=juniorhockey,wp29544 Quote

He got all that in the WHL. Quote

sioux24/7 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Not an early departure but it looks like Caggiula is going to either Vancouver or Edmonton. I would guess Vancouver. Quote

It's comparing apples to oranges. CHL (WHL,OHL, QMJHL) has players ranging from 16-21, including 60 teams. NCAA has players ranging from 18-25, 60 teams. I would bet the average age for the NCAA is around 21 and for the CHL 18. Huge difference is mental maturity and physical maturity between the two leagues. I would agree that the CHL is easy to play in for higher end recruits, as you see with the point totals, but to say one league is better than the other is impossible to know (my personal opinion is that the NCAA route is still the better route hands down).

Can 21 year olds play? I thought I heard each dub team could only have 2 or 3 20 yr olds. Edit: I found the guidance. Each Dub team can only have 3 20 year olds on the team. Quote
