tnt Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 2 hours ago, I Ranger said: Makar played two years of college but it does seem like all these high end first round kids are staying more than one year now though. It will be interesting to see how it goes with the really high end guys going forward, and I'm talking top 5 or 10. I would be surprised if Fantilli stays another year, and some of the guys that stayed two were a result of Covid. Guessing Cooley might be a result of Arizona's issues. Regardless of those circumstances, I think that Makar has kind of opened people's eyes as to what another year of development can do to make you ready to not only enter the NHL but make an immediate impact. Will be interesting to see how many follow that same path going forward. Quote

Also I’d consider what has happened to some of the guys who did leave after one year, when quite a few of them clearly should have stayed for two. 1 Quote

dustnyou Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Jost has played over 400 games in the NHL in the past 7 years since he left und. He’s made about $7.5 million dollars. I understand why Sioux fans think he should’ve stayed another year Perhaps he would’ve developed into a top 6 instead of a bottom 6. But I can tell you every member of his und team thought he was ready for the show and clearly he was. It’s worked out for him. 1 3 Quote

But I can tell you every member of his und team thought he was ready for the show and clearly he was. It’s worked out for him. Jost was ready for NCAA before his draft year. That said, he has less than 1/3 PPG in the N, and signed a very meager contract after his entry level deal expired. Hindsight is 20/20, but he and Casey Pull Up are both cited by coaches trying to talk their blue chips into returning. 3 Quote

We came close last year, but taking bronze is not exactly what I wanted. I’d want to win a gold medal for my country.” The start of that quote — If I do end up going back to school — also warranted elaboration. “For right now, I’m on track for going back and helping Minnesota win a national championship and continuing to grow my game,” he said. “But I’m still gonna evaluate some things. I don’t want the media to go crazy thinking that I’m not going back to school, but there’s a little bit of thought to put into it.” Quote

With what just happened and knowing Brad most likely reached out after the coach was fired. Quote
