This roster is filled with role players. Outside of Blake what other forward would make the top line of any of the FF teams? Not one. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what’s your argument? Denver is working on their first National title with a first round pick in years. So what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe wrong thread but my point is our talent level is several notches below the top teams in the country and we don't have the horses to pull us through.

SIOUXELEVENS Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Maybe BC and Michigan but we are on par with most of the top ten teams talent wise , we just need to use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sorry but I’m going to sort of disagree with you. I’ll give you that our talent level is below Michigan and BC. BC is loaded with 1st rounders - no one in the country matches their talent level. But we are on par with BU and Denver, based on season results against them. BU fans even mentioned that UND had way more forward depth than their team when we played them. And the other teams that made regional finals? Michigan State, Qpac, Minnesota, Cornell? Yeah I think our talent level is on par with all those teams (or better). The issue to me is on the back end. We are still in the middle of rebuilding back there. Pyke, Britt and Pehrson were brought in to keep things stable until our more talented recruits get here. I think the defensive talent just needs some time. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 And let's remember, all those "blue chippers" are not going to stick around 3 to 4 years. Once their seasons are over, they'll have NHL reps dangling contracts with dollar signs on them. A mix of 1-2 year and 3-4 year players is probably the best approach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 ...and if the Quinnipiac player could have put the puck into a wide open net, BC would be having their mass exodus right about now.

The Sicatoka Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I'd argue UND runs a roster where the 12 forwards on any given night are "average to plus two sigma" guys on the NCAA forward talent bell curve. You must be an average (or better) NCAA forward to get onto the UND ice. Some teams dream of having a line card of just "NCAA average" much less better than average. Call it a valley surrounded by hills roster. Others teams have a couple "plus four or five sigma" guys but a third and fourth line that is "average to minus one sigma" at best. Call it a "tall peaks and valley" roster. By comparison UND runs a rolling plateau or a "rolling high plains" roster: Tops aren't mountains but the bottoms ain't Death Valley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could we question that this philosophy isn't working. Too much to ask to have 5-6 extreme top end kids on the roster at all times knowing they might only be here a couple of years and have replacements of the same caliber waiting in the wings every season to come in?
