AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Seems like there are fewer signings this year, did the unorthodox NHL and AHL seasons result in any perverse incentives to stay in school another year? Lower cap, roster freezes, etc.? Quote

SiouxFanatic Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I was silently hoping Pinto would stay but knew out of all the players on the team, he was the most ready to take the next step in his development. Sucks to see him go but I wish him well and look forward to following his career. Quote
SiouxForever Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 A lot of college hockey teams lose key players early. Happens every year. This years end result stings as UND had depth but didn't have a healthy Mismash and Seden for the final games. Pinto leaving... Another year would have been nice, but he'll do just fine in the NHL. He's ready. Can, shoot, win faceoffs, solid two-player etc. Looking back, too bad he did't win a natty and he only got to play in one national tournament at UND because of Covid. That's what really sucks. UND just needs to land a few guys in the transfer portal, making sure they're the right fit. For next year, you never know. Duluth continues to win and play deep into the playoffs year in and year out with less talent. It's about time for UND to start doing that. 1 1 Quote

siouxfaninseattle Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Pinto is an elite player. Not a lot of guys that can score like him and play a 200 foot (cough Caufield cough) game. Light it up in the NHL! Quote

SiouxScore Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Kinda figured he would be back. That one hurts a lot. Quote

Westin Michaud worked out pretty well. Without any help from the portal I think UND is fighting to stay in the upper half of the league. Will probably be in that predicament regardless, but they need a scorer to put alongside Gaber. 4 Quote

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. Quote
