Definitely not tearing up the USHL right now

The last I looked he hadn't scored a goal in 14 games.....was taken off the PP a few games ago, because he was turning the puck over too much and he's not on the penalty kill.

Why not Scott Morrow? I thought that he was the big get on defense. 

Great player against the competition he's been playing against. Character issues are still very big. We'll see. I'm honestly not saying he won't, I'm just going on what I've heard about him and it wouldn't shock me either way.

He should be here (top 4) unless he bolts

I don't think he's a Top 4 defenseman on next year's team, IMO. He's tearing up his league, but that doesn't mean he's coming in ahead of guys in front of him, whatsoever.

Definitely agree. I just don't know who else would come in at forward, honestly.

Couple things.

  • Could really go for confirmation about Ford from someplace other than CHN
  • Are all our eggs in one basket for a Goaltender next year? (Driscoll)
  • Non-UND related, but also haven't seen confirmation about Cruikshank / BC since it was posted on CHN yesterday

Brad Berry is going to be on TH show tonight.... maybe we will find out then.

I don’t think he can comment if it’s not been announced by the school. If I recall, paperwork had to be signed before UND could announce Michaud’s transfer.

I have no idea where CHN gathers their info. They should include links. 
 

Just a vibe I got, but considering Schlossman wrote about Driscoll before he even entered the portal, I felt like it was a sign of where things are heading.

Here's my guess, using Sic's template:

Forwards:

  • Portz
  • Schmaltz
  • Ford (transfer from BGSU)
  • Keane (uses his extra year of eligibility)
  • Unknown portal player (crosses fingers for Cruikshank)

Defense:

  • Bast, L
  • Bast, G (uses his extra year of eligibility to play with his bro)
  • Morrow
  • Unknown portal player

Goalie:

  • Johnson, K
  • Driscoll (picked up off portal)

No current seniors are coming back. This is what Berry said on the radio.

Some of the main takeaways.

  • No Seniors will be back
  • Hennessy talked about Thome and basically being down to UND and Bemidji and Berry kind of skated around it talking about the Portal and Thome, but I got the feeling at that time Thome was not going back to UND (that was pre-Berry saying no Seniors would be back)
  • Looking for a player or two in the Portal. Emphasized how they really pride themselves on development, but if you can get a guy or two that embody UND hockey you have to take a serious look.

Well there goes that. Would have been cool to see 1-2 return, but maybe it wasn’t possible with scholarship dollars or something.

Swapping with BSU, Driscoll for Thome maybe?

This is pretty much where I am at except I have Kunz instead of Costantini right now. Could change my mind but the higher point per game pace was the deciding factor.

I'll say the name again.  If Ben Kraws wants to stick in the NCHC why not UND?  With Karl and the top three d men we have why not?  New Jersey native, but we've gotten east coast kids before.

Maybe they have a line on Driscoll, but at the moment top need is goalie.  And if they need a late 30's equipment guy I'll gladly leave my wife and live above the Red Pepper.

Maybe you better leave that last part about the wife on the down low before your living down by the river

Definitely agree the top need is goalie and I'm all but certain Driscoll is our No. 1 target.
