Feels like there's a bit of an identity crisis in the program as there are just fewer tough skill guys than there was 25 years ago. So do you continue to recruit the top end guys if those guys are soft? Or do you recruit more "below UND talent level" CCHA type guys who do play with bite/edge on a consistent basis, and avoid most of the blue chip guys?

I feel like Carle & Denver have found the sweet spot of recruiting a ton of moderately to above average skill waterbugs who forecheck hard. Seems like a lot of the "old school UND" type guys: players who were mid to later round picks, not elite guys who are guaranteed NHLers, but very good NCAA players. Dylan James (and maybe Croal/Littler) was the only guy who was tough, fast, and fairly skilled on a consistent basis all year, although I didn't watch every minute of every game this year so I could be wrong.

Holy !@#$ Jackson has some work to do for next year.  With all of the departures, the forward group for next year is shaping up to be one of the worst in UND history.

“We’ll See”

Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years.

One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. “Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically, “you must be so sad.”

“We’ll see,” the farmer replied.

The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it two other wild horses.

“How wonderful,” the neighbors exclaimed!  “Not only did your horse return, but you received two more.  What great fortune you have!”

“We’ll see,” answered the farmer.

The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune.  “Now your son cannot help you with your farming,” they said.  “What terrible luck you have!”

“We’ll see,” replied the old farmer.

The following week, military officials came to the village to conscript young men into the army. Seeing that the son’s leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. “Such great news. You must be so happy!”

The man smiled to himself and said once again.

“We’ll see,”

Thanks for posting that. It's good timing for that release so all those afflicted with Chicken Little syndrome around here can stop with their "The sky is falling & we'll never be great again!!" nonsense.

It was from an email exchange between myself and Jonathan Holth from 1883 Collective this morning.
