SIOUXELEVENS Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I think this is a positive sign from Berry that he knows their was a problem and is working to fix it. Maybe some of those players just assumed they were going to play and didn’t work for it, not sure because none of us are in the staff meetings or know if players were told to try and transfer or left on their own. Maybe this shakes up Berry and changes his style and moves to a puck moving faster game, time will tell. As far as #9 goes I believe he is a diehard green and white guy do I would guess he stays and has a monster year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Leadership will be key next year. Gaber / Caulfied, will a sophomore wear a letter? Regardless, things are pessimistic right now from the fan base. Opposing fanbases are having a fun time. Have a feeling this is going to light a fire in this program. "Count us out, we'll show you" type of mentality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochsioux Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Looks like the plan for next season is to play six forwards. Lot of high scoring games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are things that happened this past year, that I hope never happen again. Simply, 27 cannot get the 19 treatment from last year. Similar skill sets. 27 is a 4th line Center on a good team. Hopefully his minutes would follow suit to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 If 27 wears the C he must accept the role Peter Armbrust accepted when he wore the C. Peter let the whiz-bangs whiz-bang and skated a bottom six center role. (Peter had Brad DeFauw with him on a wing and DeFauw reminds me a lot of ... 28).

Hopefully his minutes would follow suit to that. If we land a top 6 center type in the portal I think it’s a given 27 is going to be the 4th line center. (Or it should be). He’s pretty good on faceoffs and on the PK. I think he knows his role, which is why he’s leadership material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jk Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 brianvf, thanks for presenting it by class like that. It's exactly how I like to think of it. Also, I think Pyke should be listed as a Gr, although I'm open to discussion on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Thinking out loud on the defense ... Pyke + 5 freshmen so need two. Pyke only has one season of play left. It'd be nice to get someone (or two) with two seasons left. But is that realistic? Take the expected five and there's three in the pipeline: Jubenvill, Ausmus, Mcinnis. At what point do they look at Jubenville this fall and just grab another "one year guy". That would leave slots for two (Ausmus, McInnis) in a year. That would really be out of balance (six sophs, two freshmen) a year from now, but couple of those "soph" guys will end up two or three year guys and you use those future early departures for rebalancing. The next name at defense will be a tell as to the long-range plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near NHL ready The combination of his size, his legacy at UND, and I imagine a dad who tells him exactly what it takes to play in the NHL will keep him here. Probably for 2 more years if I had to put $ on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 The team has a bunch of centers, so if McLaughlin can play wing (100%) put him up in the top 6. Emerson is a big kid, and is playing center in Chicago on a line with BU commit Jack Harvey who is also having a tremendous season. There should be good competition at the top. Gaber-Berg-Blake James-Emerson-McLaughlin Perron-Schmaltz-Strinden Kunz-Jammer-Ness Albrecht, Montgomery, **Judd If Judd comes back he makes that 4th line lock down with Jammer and Kunz. Or you move him to the third with Schmaltz. There are six guys that can play center, so they can get creative if they need too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know that I expect Emerson to play center but at least the option is there. I know he played center in his last game but prior to that he had been playing wing for months. Depends what the coaching staff prefers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
