Yeah, I was excited about Daschke since I thought he had 2 years, but with the possible turnover after next year would lead me to see if there is another option.

Geez, I looked at the GPL portal tracker too. Can't trust those guys for anything, even simple math. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 If Daschke had two left it’s a no-brainer. But he has one. That would make me look for a two-year player for the reasons I listed before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 The easiest way to see what a player has left is to find them at HockeyDB and count seasons played, but do NOT count 2020-21. You still only get to play four seasons but 2020-21 does NOT count as a season played for anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the easiest if you were only looking at one player, but to do that with everyone in the portal would be time consuming. Is there a trustworthy site that has all that information for everyone in the portal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can be a difference maker for a Championship that may be the way to go. If you’re a blue blood program you probably can get another high end guy in the portal again the following year, but ideally you can find a two year player that can make an impact and only have to make that transition from their old program to our way of doing things once. Would Simon Kjellberg be a good fit for two years? Brady Ferner must have some input since they played together at RPI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lame duck president who has done nothing to help athletics. They’ve named the replacement, but haven’t renewed the mens hockey coach’s contract (expired 4/1). It’s a mess.

AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Berry emphasized how well this year gelled with so many freshmen and transfers. That likely comes down to leadership (Senden was highly regarded as a C prior to his tenure), and the individuals selected. Ford especially seemed like a good transfer, not to take anything away from the rest. Felt the same way about Michaud and Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James with a goal and an assist in the 1st, goal yesterday. 25G 28A on the year, Top 20 in points. He’s forcing his way onto next years roster. There’s no way you keep a guy that’s almost at a PPG in juniors another year. Edit: Finished with 2 goals and 2 assists. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones was injured a lot, when he played he was good. Reminds me a lot of Hain, impact player when he wasn't injured, but he certainly missed a lot of ice time because of injuries.

Even if neither stays, you would think that someone else would need to as well if they intend to bring in Blake, McGlaughlin, Strinden and James. Haven't heard on anyone entering the portal yet, so as it stands we have 12 forwards without any of those four. Adding either Hain or Senden to the mix would seem like quite a lot of forwards. Obviously there are some other things happening that we don't know about, and their decisions will most likely start a chain of events.
