Bring in someone and make it an open competition for the job. Thome has had some really solid moments but I'm not comfortable just handing him the job.

Moe is the only Portal goalie I'd go after as of right now So you want us to go after a guy that isn’t good enough to start for Minnesota?

Thome....Feeney....Johnson. We need another goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can wait on most goalies and see how they perform in the USHL. We’ll see if Hedquist can figure it out at that level in the coming year or so.

tnt Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 1 hour ago, siouxforce19 said: I’m opposed to massive portal adds. One guy, maybe two if they aren’t the same positions, fine. But I don’t want to add a bunch of one year guys only to be stuck in the same position again next spring. Id rather give some of our returning guys a chance to step up. Agree, but it is also nice to not rush guys to college that could use another year in the USHL. Adams struggled his first two years in college, if we wouldn’t have kept him another year in the USHL, would we only have gotten one great year out of him. You look at teams like Mankato and St. Cloud and you see what those extra years of experience bring. In the past we had an edge on the aforementioned teams because high end talent might have edged out experience. Someone always surprises, but I don’t look and see major impact coming in that outweighs extra experience. Is Kunz, Bowen, or Constantini ready? If not, bring in someone that has college experience after you do your due diligence on their character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmaltz is a point a game guy but has slowed down tremendously the last few weeks (maybe he’s dinged up). All the other are at the .75 pace...not overly encouraging.

Boeser and Pinto were both way up there in skill, but Sanderson is the biggest talent UND has had for a while, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
