I certainly haven’t. Not how I was raised. If Brandon Boetcher flew someone to their preferred destination, should he be paid?

No, you’d just make broad accusations about someone’s character, ability to pass the BAR, and having a criminal history because they ducked a minor cab fee in college - clearly the moral high ground, much better show of class and character right there.

chippaz are now also very well aware of NIL...and the biggest chippaz know at age 15/16 that they can pick their schools for the most part.  They want it all and a six (or even 7) figure NIL deal on the way to the NHL.  Interestingly they see dev as their personal responsibility, but the coach's job to position them for success as an individual and a team  on the way to the big contract.   Elite scorers don't want to play a role and would rather go play a style than just play for a winner.

I think the change in the approach is really a big deal right now in hockey.  With choices and portals and what not, the Chippaz are in charge, not the coach, unless the coach figures out how to work that psychology in the new word.

That sounds just nauseating to be around but not doubting that’s the new reality.  Makes me glad to be aging out.

I will stand up for the character of Bryn Chyzyk.  Silly mistake, drinking in college.  Crucify him for life...please...while I think he might be a little green for head coach, I would love for him to be on staff to be groomed.

So Brad is considered a gem of a guy for 40 years, by pretty much everyone, but underneath it all he is anything but?  No way.  We will also never know, because you don't bring forward things like that unless you want to get into lawfare and burn it all down.  Nobody wants that.

Yzerman19: thanks. I was hoping you’d respond. You, along with many others have the ability to take a step back. Look at things from many angles. Thats really the point. By all accounts he is a gem. But is it possible things went south in the last few yrs. I dont think any of us wants to burn it down. Please dont forget.  You and i are on the same side. Im a brad berry guy too. Is it possible there’s more going on with this than we know right now?

They will work really hard, and they have great skills.  They just know they have options.

Its important to keep open minds on all of this.  Truly.  It shouldn't be personal to any of us.

The only thing that really sticks out to me is the conspicuous omission of Dane in a thank you or recommendation...something went down there.

Like most of the last 90 or so pages, we can only speculate what has or is currently happening.

[yzerman19]

yep- and I am not speculating

You must have senioritis too. Aren’t you repeating yourself?

Please offerup your thoughts on the nodak logo issue. Why is this so acceptable? Yes, its a good possibility i am repeating myself. Alot of other sioux fans are repeating themselves as well. Your point is well taken Go sioux

Bentley's coach is available for a zoom interview

[Shawn-O]

Lot of chatter about the Denver job opening in a few weeks after David Carle leaves for the NHL. 
 

I think the North Dakota job is better. I’m biased that way.

He just had a kid, why leave with how the NHL is with coaches

Well, it’s life changing money for him and his family for starters.

Can make as much in 2 years in the NHL as 10 in college, probably.  So why not?

[yzerman19]

Carle makes $750k at DU...I think a young head coach in the NHL would be lucky to hit $2M...

[yzerman19]

while i agree our program should be more prestigious...Denver is a major city and will likely be a more desirable location for top talent.  I have not heard that Carle is trying to go to the NHL, but that means nada.

Then teams that load up on these guys will have trouble winning in March and April, as you need a total team effort in the playoffs. Also, the chippers will be around only one or two years before the NHL dangles those ELC's in front of them, so you'll be trying to win with freshmen and/or sophomores, who are notoriously inconsistent until they get used to the speed and size of the college game vs. Juniors.

Denver has always been a major city and more desirable in some respects than Grand Forks, but it hasn't stopped us from building championship teams. We need to focus on things we can control and location is not one of them.

These guys don't want teams to load up on them...they want 2-5 or so...you run into one puck issues otherwise.  Now the NIL $ could be bigger than the guaranteed money in the ELC, which could keep people around a bit longer.  That's definitely playing out in the big money college sports.
