That's good, Vegas has been signing everyone it seems.
Signing Connelly from Providence after he scored 4 goals as a FR was perplexing.

"I think we have all the pieces to the puzzle on the back end — guys that play the right way," Wiebe said. "You look at Livanavage, he's an unbelievable player. You've got Zmolek, who is an unbelievable penalty killer, maybe the best in college hockey. It's huge to have him back next season.

"The freshmen — Jubenvill, Strathmann and Emery — all had great seasons, especially in the second half. I'm really excited to work with all these guys next season and see those young guys take the next step and build confidence throughout the season."

"He's a great coach," Wiebe said. "I've worked with him for two years. He's a great guy, easy to get along with. All the guys love him. I'm super excited that North Dakota trusted him and gave him an opportunity to lead this team. Every guy in the room is pumped to play for him and put that jersey on and grind for each other.

"It starts now. We're grinding right now. We're super excited to prove to everyone that we're going to be very good next season. We have a lot of good players coming in and returning."

if Fersch leaves Western for the NHL, Herter will be offered the HC job. Sucks for us.

Are there rumors about this?

I've heard Carle rumors, but I'd think Fersch sticks around for the new arena.  He was very involved in the design process.

Not true. He interviewed for UND head coach job driving up from Fargo during regionals. 

Hopefully that trip was to tell them to hire Dane and he’d come over as Asst for a bump in pay

Doubtful

Just my speculation - I think Fersch will stay put, at least for a few years. He has put a lot into the program and the new arena process.

At the same time no one knows the future. Whose to say the opportunities to coach in the NHL will be there in the future

Anyone heard from @RhettRingers? I’m scared the athletic department locked him in the secret chambers of the Ralph…
