Heard that Nabokov really wants him in the organization. I mean, when you when a Natty and your team gets depleted, worth it. Was looking at Denver, Minnesota (if Knies signs, they're screwed) Michigan, BC rosters for next year etc. UND better make the right moves on who they 100% bring in. It's hang 9 next year or bust. I think it comes down to BU and UND. BU has a bunch of tiny forwards on their team.....we've seen this before, cough, BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver is definitely gonna lose a few key guys at least, Minnesota even if they lose Knies is loaded up front and I think Knies will be back for them it depends on their dmen like Faber, Johnson, Lacombe and if they can at least get a couple of them back, Michigan will lose a ton but bring in some talent, not sure on many of the eastern teams but looking like Quinnipiac brings back a good deal of quality, Mankato will have to replace a lot of D, McKay, and Smith is gone but had a lot of junior forwards.

I assume you are taking into account what Minnesota has coming in, because If Nies leaves and Walker doesn’t use his Covid year, they lose their top 4 scorers and other than Brodzinski, UND would have 5 guys returning with more points than Minnesota’s next top scorer, and in a more defensive league. I suppose you can expect Cooley to put up some numbers, but as we’ve seen, making an impact as a freshman isn’t a given. So I wouldn’t say loaded, but hardly “screwed” either, especially as they, as we, should expect a jump in the returning underclassmen.

Would've loved to have seen him on a line with Gaber. I really like our incoming group of forwards, but Cooley sure would have elevated next year's team nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah pretty much although I think some of their freshman make a nice jump with Huglen, Broz, Lucius, and Pitlick. Their incoming class is loaded with Cooley, Kurth, Lucius, and I really like Pinoniemi even though he doesn't get the same hype as some other guys. Believe they have Snuggerud and Strobel coming in as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hky Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Wondering about the timing of this. Leave after your sophomore year for an AHL tryout instead of leveraging an even better junior year into an NHL contract next spring? Granted, lots I don’t know about the signing process 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Denver was a team that was so well balanced between classes. Out Eligibility: (2) Wright / Barrow Signed: (2) Brink / Savoie There is still a lot of talent on the roster. Any word on Guttman and Stapley? Both Seniors last year, 3rd / 4th on the team in points. Could be back with their Covid year. Benning had a big year on the blue line for them. As it stands now, I would still say they are the favorites in the NCHC next year. Will need to take at least another two of their big guns to sign for that to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
