It took watching 22 play for about 15 minutes of ice time early on to see his skill level was completely different than almost everyone on the team. The fact he was a 4th line center late in the season on a team that struggled to score 5x5 is absurd. D was iffy early on but ya…clearly one of the more skilled guys on the team. Probably should have had a spot locked on the top PP. Line someone else noted, I would have liked him with either Blake or Gaber. I actually didn’t like Blake and gaber together even strength because they never passed. Both held onto the puck way too long. And Blake came in as a playmaker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpudsSioux Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 If you watch the Steel highlights, a huge chunk of the Celebrini from Perron goals are Celebrini using his speed to get open and Perron finding him in space. To me, James looks like the most natural fit with him because he's the closest to that speed. Knowing James and O-Mac had a connection in juniors, I would love to see a James - OMac - Perron line. Then Blake - Schmalts - Gaber. That would be a pretty tough 1-2 punch. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Schmaltz has a little "Caulfield-Kunz syndrome": He's too nice. He's 6'2" and about 190. He's more "Jordan" than "Nick" sized. He needs to shove people around. I saw flashes late in the year when he put a guy on his back. I need more of that "edge" from him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Based on name-dropping by Schloss, I'm willing to bet UND's next goalie (maybe next two?) is in this list: Quote Persson, a 6-foot-1 Swede, has played behind a porous Miami defense the last three years. He posted save percentages of .925, .894 and .891. At times, he showed the ability to steal games. Haider, a 6-foot-3 Twin Cities native, is a fifth-round pick of the Nashville Predators. He's played in 80 games across three seasons, posting save percentages of .921, .908 and .906. Moe, a 6-foot-4 Winnipeg Jets draft pick, posted a .917 as a junior at Wisconsin and a .898 as a senior. Moe is a right-handed catching goalie. Other primary starters in the portal are UMass's Luke Pavicich (.920), American International's Jarrett Fiske (.923), Niagara's Chad Veltri (.906) and Sacred Heart's Luke Lush (.899). Moe is not a name I expected. I wouldn't expect Fiske, Veltri, or Lush unless UND takes in two portals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scpa0305 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Nice thing about Und is we typically run one goalie really hard. Rarely do we have a committee approach (like the NHL) unless there’s a disaster situation line we had earlier this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest disappointments of the season was not seeing Caulfield or Kunz develop more assertiveness. (Although Caulfield did seem to find another gear late in the season.)

Tough to establish yourself from a physical standpoint when you know a mistake or penalty here or there and you're in a suit. Judd has had ample opportunities and to your point was better as the season moved along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't prefer the Driscoll/DeRidder situation of come in for a season and leave. I like the stability of a trusted multi year guy, but that's just me. If they're a one year guy and are a stud, i'll take it, of course, but thoroughly enjoyed, we'll stay recent, having Scheel for 2+ seasons.
