Part of me really wishes Constantini was back now that Judd is gone. Only an underclassmen, had two years to figure it out. His free was was really odd. When he’s moving he’s good.

The Sicatoka Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I wonder with Judd gone will that cause Albrecht to leave. Even with inbound portals, he's the old guy. His classmates are all gone. Not counting portals it's Carson, then Gaber, LouieJam, and Ness, then younger guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I'm having a difficult time with this Albrecht situation. We don't know a lot, but from what Schlossman has reported that they are waiting on his decision, that clearly indicates that the ball is in his court, correct? Why push Portz out to keep Albrecht? I'm hoping to jinx this a little bit, since I think they best thing is for both be gone, but I wouldn't think this would be a popular thing in the locker room. Seems so backwards.

The Sicatoka Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 All I can say about Albrecht is he's slowly figuring it out. He was a scorer his last season in the SJHL. It took him two seasons of playing regularly to get to that level. If he stays I wish him a "Jim Archibald" level scoring epiphany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really think Portz was pushed out to keep Albrecht. I think that has to do with other additions and potential additions. Im also not sure I think Albrecht is going to come back. Just look at the forwards. Plus factor in Judd’s replacement. He would basically be coming back to fight for a 4th line/extra skater spot and I’m not sure he’d want to do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Who might fill Judd's roster slot? Quote Among those currently in the portal who fit that profile: 6-foot-4 Joe Cassetti of Miami (10 goals), 6-foot-3 Ryan Mahshie of RPI (15 goals), 6-foot-3 Sam Colangelo of Northeastern (Anaheim pick) and 6-foot-1 Jack Malone of Cornell (Vancouver pick). Emerson hit 30 goals over the weekend. I really, REALLY like where he scores from, think: bloody nose alley. We've been missing that.

That's great...that's an area where UND was lacking a bit this season, those gritty goals from right on the crease area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfaninseattle Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I really don't want 13 to return next season, even though he played pretty good down the stretch. He's 25 and a 4th line player. He would be taking a roster spot that could be better used to develop some of that talent that is coming in. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxFanSince1990 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Albrecht coming back is better than bringing in a portal guy. He’s a team guy, plays hard, and probably can be a leader in that locker room for the younger guys. Need to be balanced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already will have a great amount of forward skill for our top 9. Blake-McLaughlin-James Gaber-Berg-Perron Strinden-Schmaltz-Emerson Kunz-Jamernik-Albrecht/Ness I like splitting up Blake and Gaber.

Not only do I think Blake and Gaber should be split up, but I also think Berg (a shooter), should be on a different line than Gaber (also a shooter). So I’d switch things around in that aspect. Haven’t decided what I prefer for lines yet. Gaber also does that thing where he holds onto the puck too long and eventually turns it over and it really pisses me off. I hope he stops doing that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
