brianvf Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Ouch if the news is true about Blake. Not entirely unexpected but I 100% agree that he could use another year just to physically mature. Just look at that last game against Michigan how many times he got knocked on his butt or off the puck. That was against college players, not AHL/NHL. He has the skills though for sure. If he does sign, then a portal duo of Wilkie and Wood would be awesome…plus monster years from James & Perron. You’d think Jason would be in his ear for one more year at UND. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should tell CAR "rookie max, everything" or nothing. CAR going $916k per for Morrow and SJS giving Graf $950k per tells me CAR's reputation as "frugal" (the nice word) may be accurate.

I now most teams like to have their AHL team nearby so they can more easily manipulate the Salary Cap and per diems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things stayed status quo defensively, you have 1 Junior, 4 Sophomores, 3 Freshman next year. I know I'm getting ahead of myself a bit, but who would be ready to leave early after next year? I wouldn't expect anyone. Where would Laurila fit the following year? McInnis? I still feel you need to break up the underclassman log jam. For the portal, get the highest skilled RHD with one year left (or likely to turn pro after next year). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comment is without merit. UND’s recruiting class is ranked second next season. Besides, where was said recruit going to fit? 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
