Does a recruit want to go to a school where hockey is 3rd or 4th on the agenda or come to UND where it is #1 for a whole community? I think some players can't handle that kind of pressure, but if they want to get to the NHL they need to learn to handle that pressure. UND sets a player up to get used to that pressure and it shows with the number of players we have in the show at any given time. 

This is a very salient point. In the B1G, hockey is 3rd (4th if WBB is doing well). In the NCHC and even Hockey East, hockey is #1 or at least #1a.

I’ve heard/read Stramel would like to stay in the Big10…curious if we would entertain that option 

Michigan State it sounds like.

My portal predictions:

- UND won't be "most added from portal" this year (three, maybe four, but Merrimack is four already!) 
- the Rink Live spreadsheet will have 300+ names by May

- 'mack and Sacred Heart both at 4.
- 258 and counting on April 4.

Was Joaquim Lemay noticeable on Omaha's backend? Might be worth pursuing.

From what I’ve seen, hot and cold. Leans toward offensive at the expense of his job (defense). Takes ill advised penalties.

I had a feeling it was Kukkonen. Like trading stocks, look for ones with recent peaks that bottomed out. 18 goals as a freshman, 1 as a sophomore.

Was glad to hear that it wasn't Wilkie.  From the rumblings, it sounds like it is between UND and UW for Wilkie.

Isn’t Wilkie supposedly visiting campus today? That’s why I thought it wouldn’t be him, along with the fact that it was teased by YHH, so I figured it was a Minnesota kid.

I would look to Perron to take a big jump from FR / SO year.

Disappointing news about Blake, I was convinced he would be back. Kind of shocked actually. 

Yeah, I really think he’d benefit from one more year of development at this level.

It would absolutely suck if he leaves and I think one more year would help him. But it will 100% not be the biggest regret of his career. He was a really good player for us. Can’t stand some posters who put this stuff out. He may regret it a bit (I’m sure he will) but he’s been an awesome college player. I could see a scenario where he feels he’s ready for the next level…either AHL/NHL.

my sources.

Well my sources tell me that your sources are not 100% sure on this.  At least I think that’s what they said.;)
