SJHovey Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 5 hours ago, fightingsioux4life said: 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsh Hall Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Just now, SJHovey said: I'd be curious to see how often the team that appears to have the most talent actually wins the title. 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.

Fighting Sioux team from 2005-2006 season had six first rounders (technically Toews wasn’t drafted till after the season).

That’s the deal with Hakstol always getting the team to the Frozen Four, North Dakota was getting a lot more exposure than all the one and dones, and you can always sell a player they could help put us over the top.

You'd think that a player of Pohlkamp's caliber would be looking at all possible factors in selecting a school; & no doubt he's watching closely what schools are doing well in this year's tournament. Friday's third period sleep-a-pa-looza against MI may come back to seal the deal for DU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the other hand if they win it all this year, and they have a mass exodus, I guess he gets all the playing time, but maybe not a favorite to repeat. Denver may lose a lot regardless of the outcome next week. Depends on what is most important to players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
