I read an article about him earlier this year and it basically said that if BU offers, he will sign there in a second. If BU doesn't offer, that might be a sign that UND shouldn't want him. I have never seen the kid play but it sounds like if he was good enough to be at UND then he will be playing for BU.

huh?

If BU wants him he will be there, no if, ands, or buts. If they don't want him, maybe that is a sign he isn't good enough to play at UND. Again, I've never seen him play, but if he is as good as it sounds like he is, then he will be playing in a red and white BU sweater.

Kind of crazy that Gage and Hrynkiw might be the only seniors on next year's roster. And the team is still set up to pretty dang good, especially if Schmaltz comes back.

I've heard there's a surprising chance at what we believed to be an unlikely third senior.

oh.....yeah. My comment was more wishful thinking. He'll end up out east. He's really good.

Drake is going to put on a fake mustache and return as Blake Caligula! :D

As awesome as that would be, no.:)

Damn! Well whomever it is, that is great news. Any player coming is a nice player to have back.

Ladue or LJ by would appear to be the 2 options.

From what I understand Ladue could have a greater max salary if he stayed.  Would love that to be the case, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Nobody wanted that Shayne Gostisbehere guy either - except Union College.  That worked out pretty good for them.

True but Greenwood also has size as a defenseman and an older brother that is an NHL draft pick. Gostisbehere may have slipped through the cracks, but this kid won't.

Ok, say what you've heard, if it's wrong than its wrong

Who'd be the most surprising if he stayed? That's your answer.

Well, that would most definitely be Ladue considering most everyone thinks him leaving is a no brainer.  I'm not going to get my hopes up but that would be HUGE if he decided to return.

I had that thought today too.  Imagine Ladue going the route of a Stetcher who was undrafted.  If he doesn't sign this year, he has a chance to hold all the cards in his hand.  Who wants to go the pro route and be stuck in the AHL?  If he stays his senior year, he can either sign with Kings next year or not.  He would control his own destiny.  Stetcher had to sign this year because he was at probably the highest point of contract, that isn't Ladue's case.  This could be interesting.

LaDue, but id like LJ to stay too since he seemed to find chemistry with Poganski and Gardner with the Heavy line that was really effective

I'm going to get hit for this but I honestly wouldv rather seen LaDue go then Stecher. I didn't really see anything different between LaDue and the other defenceman not counting Wolanin and Shaw. I thought Stecher stood out the most this year by far

Two completely different types of defensemen. I disagree about LaDue being just like the other D-men. I thought that he looked NHL-ready all season. I wondered if there might be a chance he came back for an opportunity to start his NHL career on his own terms. It would be incredible to have him back for a run at #9!

I agree 100%, Stecher was one of the best and most consistent players on our team all year.

Not really surprising. In this day and age UND will probably rarely have many seniors as most the half decent guys guys usually leave after their Junior years.

It would be incredible to have him back.  He made a diving backcheck that saved a possible goal in the final, and then laid down that tape to tape 100' pass right on Boeser's stick that led to goal #4.  If he's not ready for the NHL, I may need glasses, but I'd sure love to see him in Green next year.  That would be a major blue-line bonus.

If LJ does go I think Mattson steps right in on that line with Gardner a solid center. Most years I think Mattson walks in as a top 6 forward.

By NHL ready you mean you think he's going to step into the NHL?

I don't see it.
