Not probably.  

I like when kids stick it out and carve out a role on the team. I don't know all the variables involved in Blaisdell's departure, but I'd rather see them put in the work and earn their spot. Coltyn Sanderson is a recent player that comes to mind. He stayed for four years and earned a regular role on a national championship team. I know he was a different kind of player, but I like kids like that.

Difference is Coltyn was basically  a walk on. He could stay 4 years here and put in his time and earn a spot. Unfortunately in Blaisdell’s case, and I’m sure he’s not someone who thinks he doesn’t need to earn his ice time, but there are other factors involved when you’re drafted by an NHL team.

Chase Blackmun of Hudson WI is a defenseman we are hopefully looking at. Grad transfer from Lowell with two years remaining.

Looking into some of the names, he would definitely be at the top of my wish list.

And UND pulled his scholarship money for his Junior season. He decided to stay and pay his own way.

Of course he would have probably had to sit out if he transferred.

I know. I just really have a soft spot for guys like Coltyn. Adams was able to improve every year and get a top line role. I don't know any of the behind the scenes details, but I would've thought the chance for a bigger role was there for the taking for Blaisdell next year.

Is it a name from Schlossman's article? (I have my guess.) 

I'm more confident that a D man is coming, than I am on the name, but yes he's listed

I was told correctly about Ford, for whatever that's worth

Heard anything about a transfer portal goalie?

[tnt]

Still would like another forward.  If not, Cruikshank, maybe Matt Brown.

Can we have a Blackmun and Cruikshank? 

[crb1]

I would feel so much better if we could get Cruikshank but I have a feeling he is going elsewhere. I know we need a Dman as well. Sounds like we have a goalie, still wish it was Thome.

Yes I have. Driscoll will be our next goalie

Jandric from Alaska could be coming here too. He’s a D man

The one who transferred to Denver, or the one who sat out this year since UAF didn't play?

I think the one at DU was a forward, so I’m guessing this is the guy that sat out.

Chris Jandric would be very interesting.

[brianvf]

Jandric put up good numbers for a dman in his 2 seasons at UAF.
8-29--37 in 63 games played.
Would be a great pickup and would have 2 seasons of eligibility left.

[stoneySIOUX]

I put this in a separate thread, but I really want to get the word out... so...

Hey all, 

Word is that the Ralph is having an equipment sale tomorrow (Friday) from 10:30 am to 4 pm or so at the arena that they cannot openly advertise, but want people to come. Anything from sticks, skates, breezers, apparel, goalie gear... basically everything. Support the team and the Ralph! 

CHECK IT OUT

Highlights would be.

• All WCHA Rookie Team
• Lead Alaska Dman in scoring both years
  • Fr: 15 Points (5th on team) - Leading scorer 24
  • So: 22 Points (3rd on team) - Leading scorer 33
• Coaches Pre-Season All-WCHA Team for 2020-2021 (which Alaska ended up not playing)

Sounds good to me. Let go!
