As Schlossman said a while ago, advisors are gauging interest as early as January, so it could be a quick process, and guessing it wouldn’t be a lock at that point, even if they knew Persson was leaving. Being that TJ was injured, why commit until you know he comes back well from the injury. Quote
tnt Posted April 3 Posted April 3 2 hours ago, brianvf said: Agreed. More of a rotation would be nice, especially to start. That will give half the fans the opportunity to say what a mistake it was to start__________. We already saw that at the Frozen Faceoff. Quote

I thought they would go after the other ASU goalie, Henry Levy, that didn't play but was part of the 2022-23 Penticton title team. The point is they want a more proven commodity if they feel it could be needed to make a run. Quote

Popular Post The Sicatoka Posted April 3 Popular Post Posted April 3 And now the transcript of how UND won Semptimphelter ... KG: Bubs, TJ Semp at ASU is in the portal. Bubs: Really? Call him. < sounds of dialing > TJ: Hello? This is TJ Semp the free agent goalie. KG: Hello, this is Karl Goehring of the University of Nor.. < cut off by Semp > TJ: UND? Is the Chicklets U thing real? KG: I'm calling you from the Zero Grav bed drinking a momosa. TJ: This isn't Omaha punking me. KG: See the 701 area code on my caller ID? I swear on the Altitude Room. Want to talk to Bubs? TJ: I'm in. 6 Quote

Heil has made a rapid turn around going from SF to the US NTDP this season. And Karl worked with hiim at an international tourney. I trust KG to be the goalie whisperer. I see Hobie and Heil as the 2025-26 tandem. Quote

I would point to Adam Scheel leaving after three seasons and Cam Rowe's decommitment putting ripples into the goalie recruiting pipeline as the reasons for having gone to the portal. Covid merely exacerbated it making guys available with one year left. Now that Hobie is here and appears as advertised, and Heil is a year out, things seem to be stabilizing to a two-year gap between the top two and a puck-eating practice third (any age will do). 2 Quote

If it was the long-term not-a-solution solution I'd be against it. But I see a long-term plan forming up (Hedquist and Heil) so a rental to get there, and back to a stable recruiting pattern and rotation, is palatable. I'm guessing in about a year UND will be hard in the market for a starter capable goalie two years younger than Heil. And a puck-eater to replace Cheese. 1 Quote

The Sicatoka Posted April 3 Posted April 3 One more thought on goalies and the portal: Persson has a Covid year left but is going pro. Was Lud the two-year plan to get us to Heil and the plan changed, thus enter Semptimphelter for a year. Quote
rhenry8439 Posted April 3 Posted April 3 What if Persson hears we are getting 2 Belgian Waffle makers in the players lounge and changes his mind and doesn't go pro? Does Cheese get pushed out? Quote
SIOUXELEVENS Posted April 3 Posted April 3 I think the coaches have talked to players and have a good idea who’s staying and who might leave. Quote
