Keller and McAvoy have already signed with their respective NHL teams, so at least the most talented duo of their "diaper dandies" are gone! Quote

Best of luck to him. I hope he has a good pro career. College life. More time in the weight room. Also could be that his plan was 2 years and maybe things changed? We'll never know. 1 Quote

Me thinks that the Avalanche could virtually promise him a spot in the starting lineup next season based on how big of a train wreck that team is right now. I don't think Jost planned on being here one season; it just worked out that way. 1 Quote

franchise Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I went from being super excited about next year, to kind of worried. I never for a second thought Jost would go. Quote
TNF Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Tyson Jost's Family Advisor - 1 UND's PR Team - 0 Bury the lead of being a one and done by signing on the day other massive news breaks which will eat up local media. PR 101 right there. Congrats to Tyson. I suspect he was originally planning to be here two years but since we were loaded at forward during our run to #8 he stayed in Penticton an extra year. In that regard we are lucky he honored his commitment. Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. 1 Quote

cberkas Posted March 30, 2017 Author Posted March 30, 2017 You want to get 2 years out of 1st rounders most likely you only get one. So it's best to plan for a 1st rounder to be here one year and hope you get 2 years. Quote

Magiccitysiouxfan Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Good riddance! Let's get some talent that buys into the program, and has pride in the history of this program. Good luck with the worst program in the NHL. I think our two "superstars" had the NHL on the brain before the national tournament and it showed in their performance. Just look at the odd man rushes with either one of those two that amounted to nothing. Our best players were not those two when it counted last Friday in my opinion, so build on the ones who showed up with other quality players who want to win championships! 1 11 Quote

I won't begrudge a kid for signing a professional contract. I hope it goes well for him and that he doesn't get stuck in the AHL for a year or two. But there are others who also think that the leadership on this team was not as strong as it was last year. Quote
UNDHawks4life Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Pogo is my fav. If he leaves i dont know if i can get season tix next year because there is a possibility of them being a dumpster fire. Need to start recruiting guys who will stay unlike jost. 5 Quote

I agree totally with everything you are saying, but if they are 1st round talent why did they have to win their way in the last week of the season. Guess I can't lose sleep over him or Boeser leaving. Time to reload! Quote

I read a story when Brock signed that talked about them being only a few months apart in age. But I just doubled checked and they are over a year a part in age. 1 Quote

What I laugh out loud about is we lose two players on a team that had to win their way into the tournament. way too many missed opportunities and not much big game play! When you really needed them they kind of disappeared. The program will be fine! 1 1 Quote
burd Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 We were lucky to get him in GF for a year, so this can't be a big surprise to anybody, really. Hope he has the kind of success guys like Toews, Oshie, Parise, etc have had, so future recruits see us as a great preparation for the NHL. We'd like all these kids to be like Duncan, but that just isn't going to happen with the No 1s. Hope he lights em up. 2 Quote
