InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 https://www.nhl.com/avalanche/news/tyson-jost-excited-to-join-colorado-avalanche/c-288261146 Maybe I'm being too presumptuous but reading this article, I really believe Tyson will regret leaving UND so early. It feels like a hastily made decision with good intentions but I can't help but remember former NHLers saying 'Man I wish I would've stayed another year'. Tyson barely got to even take it all in. An excerpt: "A lot went through my head, but then when that contract was in front of me, I thought, 'Yeah, this is my dream, and this is what I've wanted all my life. I've worked for almost 18 years to get to this point.' So I thought I'd sign," Jost admitted. "It was a wave of emotions. Obviously, it was a dream come true to sign my contract and be with this organization. It happened in a pretty quick span of time there. Things went pretty quick. I didn't really get to enjoy it just because it was kind of a rough process but to say the least, I'm really excited to be a part of this organization." There's no doubt in my mind Jost will have an incredibly successful career at the pro level and I'm very happy he came to UND but 3...5...maybe 10 years down the line I gotta believe he's gonna wish he stuck around a little longer. EDIT: Also, this is an unnerving part of the article: He could have stayed in Grand Forks, working on his education and chasing the dream again next season, but watching a teammate like Brock Boeser leave for the NHL and linemates Shane Gersich and Austin Poganski enter talks of making the leap reignited his deep-seated desire to join the ranks of the top tier of the sport. 1 Quote
Sodbuster Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Makes me wonder what his UND legacy will be......and what it could have been. Quote

Probably about 0 legacy even though he was a great player to watch. If he has NHL success UND will obviously pimp that for all it's worth though. Quote

I will remember him as one of the best freshman to play here, but always wonder what he would of been like had he stayed for another year. I'm still glad he came here and I hope he has a great pro career. He seemed like such a good kid. 1 Quote
franchise Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Sounds like he very well could have stuck around if he had just finished out the school year and taken some more time to let the emotions settle. Agreed there's no legacy. What did he play? 20 games? Quote

Hopefully his decision to go now works out the best for him in the long run. That being said, if he had returned, would most likely have furthered his leadership abilities and that could be a big benefit of his success at the NHL level. Quote

Godsmack Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 About to watch the Avs/Blues game which will be the first for Jost. I won't lie, I wanna reach through the tv and punch McNab, Mike Haynes, and crew in the eye! They're going on and on about Jost (and rightfully so) but it's just a little raw for me just one week removed from UND's season coming to a startling end. 2 Quote
dagies Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 I certainly would have liked to see Jost stick around for another year for the program to really imprint on him. I suspect having been here less than 12 months he'll barely remember his time at UND. 1 Quote

yzerman19 Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Best freshmen years in recent memory: 1. Parise- guy was the most anticipated recruit in history, and he did not disappoint. Generated offense every shift. 2. Osh- electric, just kind of surprised everyone on how great he was. Clutch goals, lots of them, and big hits! 3. Boeser- Natty and a monster year, kid shot out the lights. 4. Toews- Understated perfection, huge talent, big time recruiting get, what can you say about him...he's one of the 100 greatest ever 5. Zajac- 20 goal freshman campaign key add taking the team to the NCAA finals 6. Rocco, Kristo, Duncan, Bayda, Sparky, Jost... So Jost might squeak into the top 10 best first years IMO, but not legacy material 2 Quote

I thought the same about Nelson. He was awesome, but had he come back and played that junior year he would be cemented. Both great players that left a year early (from a UND perspective). Quote

Carl Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY6KrVhDnPc Apologize if already posted, but an awesome recap of Boeser's debut! Best to watch while cutting onions. Quote

He was damn good no doubt but Toews was something different. Everything he did was just cleaner and better. Jost was a great fr but not a legendary fr, not quite. Quote

Did Toews have a more impactful and better freshman year- no. Toews rookie year we also had Zajac and Stafford and Oshie and Duncan, so it wasn't like he didn't also have a supporting cast. Quote
