They played a lot against other team's top units and even found their way on the score sheet. Plus Olson said for sure on twitter that he is coming back!!!!! No word on Simo or Smith, but I've got sources that say expect them on campus next fall.... RPM line...that combo is the college version of the old Flyers Legion of Doom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly don't know much about Mishmash, but Schloss said he plays with an edge. 1. RPM 2. Bowen-Janatuinen-Gersich 3. Hoff-Wilkie-Kawaguchi 4. Simo-Smith-Olson Call me stupid (I am), but I think Wilkie takes off next year if he is back. And if he doesn't then Gornall, Adams, or Jones is there.

You know if people keep saying "next year" is Wilkie's year enough and it happens you all look like geniuses but if it doesn't...well. I'll make no excuses for it but I'm a Gornall guy...especially over Wilkie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that success in the USHL with a 35 goal season and almost a point per game average his last year in Nebraska (66 penalty minutes) and then at UND he can't score.... Like I said, I'm wrong a lot, and Wilkie will probably be in a suit more often than not because Gornall works his sack off every shift. I'm probably selling Adams and Jones short as well. Both will get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be something going on here that Bubs doesn't like. More than the lack of goal scoring because his production was greater than both yon and Bowen. I'm guessing it's work ethic.

Both will get a chance. I agree with you. You just have to remember that some on this forum have to consistently mock players on the team...someone's getting it no matter what. Its one thing to call out a player for making a bonehead play its another to never let off the entire season. Im just hoping both pogo (and the others that have offers) all stay. I really like the look of next year's team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta believe that Adams will be a regular...he's a strong producer in the USHL and an NHL draft pick. I also worry that there isn't a true offensive playmaker on that Legion of Doom line. In fact, that is likely our biggest weakness on the team next year- a lack of top-end playmaker, pass-first kinda guy...maybe Guch fits that.

I'll make no excuses for it but I'm a Gornall guy...especially over Wilkie. I'm with you maybe he somehow finds a way to do things he hasn't in his first 2 years but with what I've seen of him I'm not real hopeful. If we have 15 forwards next year and he is still around he would be forward number 15 for me. Olson, Simonson, Bowen, Yon, Hoff, Gornall, and Smith have already showed multiple times they add more to the lineup than Wilkie. He has had plenty of opportunities and hasn't done anything with them I'd rather give freshman those opportunities than going back to him and hoping he figures it out. He definitely shouldn't have been getting powerplay time like he was for parts of this last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 For sure top 6: Pogo, Gersich, Gardner (these guys will play) Incoming recruits with top 6 potential: Mishmash, Guch, Adams (these guys will play minutes until they prove they can't) Earned lineup spots last year: Bowen, Olson, Hoff, JJ, Simo (hard to sit any of these guys) Fighting for ice: Yon, Wilkie, Smith, Gornall, Jones (all bring something to the table, where do they fit) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDMOORHEAD Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 There's still a long offseason for guys to put in work on and off the ice. Hopefully all the uncertainty creates competition for ice time and brings the best out of all the boys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burd Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 What they appear to be lacking next year and have had for several years now is a possession player. Both Boeser and Jost fit that bill, but Gersich does not. Jost was on his way to being Toews-like in his ability to keep others off the puck.

Pogo was straight-up dominant along the boards this past year when it came to possession. If he comes back(sounds like he is), I look forward to the strides he can make in the point production area of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 UND ran a 26-man roster last year (like usual). I doubt that'll change going forward. What was unusual was it was 14-8-4 (F-D-G) not the usual 15-8-3. So Pogo and Gersich and Cam are going to stay. That means 5 known departures (1G, 2F, 2D). The goalie departure returns that category to 3 (meaning back to 15 forwards). If Tomek leaves, Thome comes. That's a 1-for-1 swap. Schlossman thinks 4F and 2D are coming. The D is a 2-for-2 swap. But bringing in 4 but only losing 2 (plus the open slot if they go back to 3 goalies) means there's a "16th" forward. I don't recall that at all this century. It makes me wonder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
