In Schmaltz’s defense, he had as many points as Emerson, Monty, Albrecht, and Ness combined.

When you put it that way it's even more pathetic from a team production standpoint.  How many 30+ point guys did DU have again this past season?

11 vs 4

imho, coaching staff value defensive responsibility over offensive production...  fight on...

2021-2022 season two Fr. were in top six in total points on the team. One was gone, off the roster after his So. season. One combining his So. and Jr. season point totals didn't equal his Fr. point total. Seems hard to blame everything on either players for how their productivity at UND evolved. So again I'll ask.....where's the pursuit of development?

Was pleasantly surprised with both their freshman performances. And as later round draft picks at the time, thought they could both end up as 20+ goal, 40+ point players for the Sioux as seniors. 

Welp, here we are …

Is UND a program where player development is barely on the radar anymore?

Tambellini had actually carved out a decent career. FYI

I'm pretty sure that was the point of his response.

Should we be surprised Schloss didn't say much about Ludvig signing an ECHL deal?

Maybe Berry could chime in on his situation?  

Hah, see what I did there. 

 

I am not sure we will be a player in the near future for NIL deals for incoming freshman and transfers but would hope we could be a in a situation where if a player is leaving for an ECHL contract, an AHL contract, or even signing his NHL/AHL ELC where all signs indicate he will be spending at least his first season in the AHL that we would be able to offer 60K or 80K to the player if we wanted him to stay.

Pretty late to be entering the portal at this point.
Assuming he knows where's he going then.

You’d hope or he’ll be left without a seat.

He had pretty respectable numbers for a freshman & it looks like his coach played him in all their games, any idea on why he would be leaving?

I have no earthly idea. I’d be curious to know as well. Certainly wasn’t due to a lack of playing time. He was solid and I’m sure a big part of Mayotte’s plans for the season to come.

NIL money?

$$$$$$$$$

[brianvf]

I can't imagine Michigan throwing Werner a ton of NIL money to get him to leave CC.
I'd guess that something else is going on that had him enter the portal.

This sure is a different way to announce your portal transfer from NMU to RIT.
Hints of trouble in NMU-land?
