Expand The PWR is about as objective as you are going to get in terms of selecting the 16 team field. Don't fix what is not broken. Quote

jk Posted April 5, 2024 Posted April 5, 2024 Lose three regulars, add three in Emery, Strathmann and McDonald. Then Benoit, Komzak and Jubenvill are in reserve for the inevitable injuries. Quote
brianvf Posted April 5, 2024 Posted April 5, 2024 Projection based on current info: Forward (15): GR - Jamernik SR - Berg, Kunz, Schmaltz, Montgomery JR - Blake, McLaughlin, James, Strinden SO - Perron FR - Swanson, Boisvert, Croal, Littler X - Portal Defense (9): JR - Zmolek SO - Livanavage, Wiebe, Benoit, Komzak, MacDonald FR - Jubenvill, Strathmann, Emery Goalie (3): SR - Semptimphelter JR - Johnson SO - Hedquist Caleb MacDonald comes to UND out of the portal. Looks to be a solid add for sure, although he is LHD, so we'll be short on RHD for next season unless some more moves are coming. And that SO class of Dmen is large. Solid pipeline coming from UAF from the looks of it. 1 Quote
jk Posted April 5, 2024 Posted April 5, 2024 Weird to look at the chart and know for sure all the seniors will be done. Like the old days. 1 Quote

Oxbow6 Posted April 5, 2024 Posted April 5, 2024 I would rather be arranging plans for St Paul and the F4 (or any F4) but if regular yearly early portal siphoning gets you off......... Quote

So still room for another RHD to come in via portal, maybe a JR/SR to balance the classes a little. Quote
stoneySIOUX Posted April 5, 2024 Posted April 5, 2024 Add McDonald, subtract Benoit. Like I said in the other thread, I don't wish Benoit anything but good things, but I think UND got better today. 2 Quote
Oxbow6 Posted April 5, 2024 Posted April 5, 2024 So another portal Dman chases who out after next year? Stay with 8 and if you keep Montgomery plug him on the blueline if needed. Quote

If no one turns pro early, then someone will be on their way out. Expand Is the development process of players not even a consideration anymore. You got 8 Dman for next season....not one Sr. Develop them. Pyke was great except when he wasn't available. This team would be better next year if Constantini was on it. Quote
