CHECK! Seriously it seems like the staff is checking every box in a big way. Our 3 portals guys plus Livanavage could make for a great top 4 next year. Get them here early this summer to get some chemistry rolling. Good stuff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Pehrson also has a Gopher alum dad (baseball). Don't have time to link them at the moment, but Michigan Daily has some articles praising his play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the understanding that Komzak is that 8th guy? I would choose Strathmann first, but if the agreement is to go back, swing for the fences for the last portal addition. We're no longer in make-or-break territory but adding another high-ender with experience would really solidify things. Especially if he was a RH shot.

They said Komzak is the projected 8th D when he committed. I think if it’s not Strathmann, I’d try to find another underclassmen in the portal to balance out the classes a bit more.

That's Komzak, but he'll be 21 in the fall. How about instead a Coloradan who'll be 24 and his brother is in the forward pipeline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thought that Sidorski would be sitting a lot, and that Johnson would be in the lineup every day. It seems there are surprises like that every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 As long as Strathmann is A-OK with doing one more year of juniors, I'd hope that the last dman spot is filled with just a depth add (only plays in case of injury). The flip side of getting all these great dman portal additions is that you don't want another Johnson/Bast situation where a couple freshmen enter the portal next season because they didn't get enough playing time this year. That said...I think Berry really worked wonders on this portal "season". Going from having no returning goalies (other than Johnson) and no returning dmen...this is really turning into a solid team for next season already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
