Ryan McGuire from Colgate has solid numbers, and maybe his dad would come announce like he did for the ECAC tournament...

He’s going to Northeastern

Portal = Free Agency

NIL = Endorsement Deals

College = Professional

You're not wrong. 

But as a pro coach Hafley has a front office dealing with the business side.

Hey, thought I heard we had the collective up and running to take care of our business side of things and to buy our transfer portal recruits?  Just need to make sure our NIL collective and AD department are on the same page unlike Florida football and Jaden Rashada.  Ugh, amateur athletics are becoming gross.....

My point is we can't keep telling these kids to go play juniors another year because we are loaning guys from the portal. Too many guys that have decommited in the last few years. 

I think it's more going to the portal because the junior player needs another year of development.

Man, how many drafted UW players can enter the portal this off-season?
Not a good look for UW or Hastings.

So for Wood, it's between us and a pile of B10 schools?  Not liking those odds... :crazy:

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.

I'd be curious to see how often the team that appears to have the most talent actually wins the title.

I think back on some of the absolutely loaded teams in college hockey over the last twenty years.  UND and MN during the mid-2000's, with a handful of first rounders on each team.  BU in 2017 or 2018, where people were wondering whether they'd even lose a game because of the first round talent.  Michigan a couple of years ago.

BC may win it all this year, but that one will be the exception, more than the rule, in my book.

I've often commented that I think Dean Blais' three best teams at UND were the '98, '99 and '04 teams, and they did literally nothing in the post-season.  I don't think any of them won the WCHA tournament, and they certainly went nowhere in the NCAA's.

Few and far between.  Using betting odds, the top team has around a 10-12% chance of winning the NCAA tournament.  I believe the actual results are pretty consistent with this.

Not official…but he’s going to DU 

Hopefully that might be an indication that Buium/Buium/Behrens would be departing this offseason.  ;)
