jk Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 Many years it's hard to figure out how they'll address the roster issues, and I take comfort in the fact that while I don't know the plan, the coaches do. This year, maybe they don't even know it yet. There are a few moving parts, plus mysteries behind portal door number three. I do know this team was tough to play against at the end of the year, and if they bring back the fifth year guys plus everyone else older and stronger, they will be that and more. However, you also have to get the puck in the net, and in the playoffs you have to do it on the PP, like, in the last 90 seconds of regulation. With that in mind, guys like James and Spicer cannot come out of this game of musical chairs without a chair. If it's a seat the following year, that's fine, as long as the chair is in GF. The coaches are much smarter than I am, and I'm sure they know the squad needs to have slicker players, so it'll be interesting to see how they put it together. 4 Quote

stoneySIOUX Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 Heard were close on a portal D man. Could be done Wednesday. Not being talked about on here at all. But, I like it, if it happens. Quote

AJS Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 Before it's announced, hoping it's a guy that could be considered Top 4 with at least 2 years of eligibility. UND defensively is in a very unique situation returning so much, where a Top 4 guy isn't a make or break type deal, but considering they don't have to be picky, load up! I do like Ferner as a strong #8 guy, but the more talent / depth the better. Quote
jk Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 Just my personal view, I'm fine with a fifth year guy. While they do lose a lot next year, they will have some well-seasoned recruits ready to come in, and there's always the portal next year too. Quote

The Ottawa Senators are putting on a full-court press to get him signed, but so far, he's held steady. A final decision will likely come by the end of the month. Expand Quote
