Interesting move if true. Would think an expansion franchise would want someone with NHL experience, but it would certainly be a clean start for them. 

Here is what Las Vegas is looking for.

Sunday morning mimosas for DU players tomorrow!

Anyone else have a chance to review the hit on Hammond and come to the same conclusion as me?

Twitter said 3 on site orthopedic surgeons worked together to put his ankle back in place and get the air cast on

Raskob questioning what he just did LOL.

I thought the hit was clean. Arm followed through high (which is why they called it...or because it was too hard I guess) but there was no head contact.  Shoulder to shoulder.

Did they say which conference the officials for last night's game were from?

The NCAA always has them at the top of their preseason list to do the title game. It's the most likely scenario!

I thought it was a play that you see many times in every game.  Just an unfortunate contact with the boards that caused the fracture.  No penalty as far as I am concerned.

Congrats to DU.
I'm glad UMD didn't bring home the hardware.  I see they stuck true to their game plan all season, injure an opposing player and take the other team off their game.  It almost worked for them once again.

There was absolutely no intent to injure on that play.  No player or coach on the Duluth team would tell you that they are glad he got hurt.  Duluth plays the same hard nosed physical way we do with the exception of embellishing and trying to "sell" penalties.

Best team in the nation all year long won it all last night.........similar to last year.

It was the same crew that worked the game between UND/BU

If they lose Jaillett, Borgstrom, Gambrell, and Terry. Ouch.

Sounds good to me.  UMD could lose Tufte, Anderson, Peterson and Pionk.  Also good.

College hockey would be safer without Pionk.  I'm all for him signing somewhere.

I have to disagree with that assessment. I'm my opinion there was no shoulder first. It appeared principle point of contact was elbow to head. It appeared to me the legal contact was secondary.

I head San Quentin of the California Penal League has offered him a two-year deal.

Let him run a goalie in a professional league and see what happens!!!

My thoughts.

Borgstrom is very, very good.  But they didn't put him out there when they needed someone to win puck battles or work to get the puck out of their zone.  I'm guessing he'd stay at DU to improve his 200 foot game next year.

Was Butcher the best player in college hockey this year?  Very valuable to Denver, good player and their captain.   But I'm not sure he was even the best player on the ice last night.

Was impressed by Gambrell's overall game.

He will get to answer more for the unnecessary head shots when the play heads the other way.

Forgot Miska.  He should sign too!

I don't think it will matter for UMD next season.  Other than Johnson, Anderson, and Tufte, they don't have much left on the cupboard.  Unless they have 3-4 studs coming in to replace the dive team departing!

Funny they got another offside call to deal with last night with Tufte's goal.  It looked like the guys skate was up, but is there a video of it?

He just touched the line with the toe of the blade.
