Please clarify what you mean by  'loaded'. Try to frame 'loaded' in terms of the number of high draft choices on a college team, because 'skilled players' is vague (ie, Penn St had quite a few skilled players last year, but they were far from loaded). Would 4 or more players on a team drafted in the 2nd round or higher fit your definition of a loaded team?

Well it looks like I'm wrong about the expectations for next year and agree that "skilled" is a pretty vague descriptor that didn't even make sense in the way I was trying to use it (Swanson is skilled, but at this point is not a player who would add to a team being "loaded" in my mind). To me loaded roughly means 4 players on offense reasonably expected to put up big points-say high 30s+-based on draft status or past college production. For example, 2 freshman that are first rounders or have a resume like Zellers, in combination with at least 2 older players who are also first rounders or have already put up high 30s-ish points at an NCHC, BIG10, or HEA school. I'd say 4 players that are 2nd round or higher could make for a loaded team, especially if the middle 6 is rounded out with other players capable of putting up 25+ points. Hopefully next years team plays D like UMD 5 years ago.

The "Chippahs" won't be around longer than 2 years. So you have to have a solid foundation of 3 to 4 year guys in order to win consistently from October to April.

I’m not sure anyone will be around for more than 2 years anymore haha

Is Isaac Gordon still expected to commit?

Yes, sometime later today.

Should this be a concern that we have heard nothing about this yet, or is it just a matter of time?

No, they’re only announcing commitments on Friday’s under chyzyk and 2 a day is the max. Sandy and Gordon will be official on Friday.

I am not worried. Gordon is exactly what UND is looking for and Gordon follows UND hockey on instagram. I would say it is very likely that he commits here shortly

Glad to see this ... now could we please land Mckenna ... I don't want to hear any more about Michigan. 

If NIL has to be a thing ... "Pay that man his money!"

Seems like the kind of game changing player that (with all these other additions) could truly make us a top contender next year.

Agreed 1000%

I still haven't forgotten about what happened in 1998. :angry:

Who’s he going to play with? From a selling standpoint. How is Bryn going to sell who he is playing with? Because Michigan will match $4$.

The fastest player in college hockey (James) and the USHL goal scoring champ (Zellers).

Someone should do a compare and contrast to our latest addition and roster vs. Michigan. 

Backend D-core and goaltending, UND is a leg up. 

Imo, I don’t think the loss of Jayden Perron to Michigan hurts UND’s roster. Addition by subtraction. He was a turnover machine and liability. Great offense skill, though.
