Not taking a realistic, hard look at the roster may be his downfall. I'll be very surprised if he makes a big impact for Wisconsin next season. 1 Quote

That may very well be - although I'll bet he has a bigger impact than Hoff, Bowen, Johnson, Peski, or Yon. That's my point. At least he is a young player with a potential upside, not a Junior who has shown nothing for 3 years. Remember the good old days when guys decomitted from Wisconsin to come here? 1 Quote

You included Peski, a defenseman in this post. A defenseman who is not an offensive defenseman. I will laugh hysterically if he can’t outscore Peski next year. 1 Quote

Your point is that Donovan will have a bigger inpact than our extra dman? Lol. You're comparing roleplayers to top 6 type players. And adding defensemen, to boot. Peski 100% deserves a spot on this team, so I'm not sure why he's included on your list. Quote

My mistake including Peski - however removing him from the list does not change the point I was trying to make. I agree with people who feel that if Donovan doesn't want to be here then H*** with him - I'm just frustrated with some of Berry's roster decisions. 1 Quote

The question is how many of the forwards you listed are actually going to play all that much next year though? Unless Berry is an idiot, I created a fake line chart, and only one of the forwards you listed would be on my “everyone is healthy” line chart. I’d say most of the forwards you listed will bounce in and out of the lineup on the 4th line. 1 Quote

My point is that next year will be the 4th year they are taking up a roster spot and probably some scholarship money yet we don't seem to have room for young, although unproven, talent. Many other posters have mentioned that this class is a big part of our problems, yet here they are for next year again. I'm not sure how this makes us a better team next year. Quote

We don't have a lot of health right now though. Quote

Right now, they play because we don't have enough healthy forwards. Quote
