Goon Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 I do not think it is the wisest thing to bring Oshie in next year but what do I know. The talent is there but a year in the USHL is really needed in my opinion. I don't quite understand this one but that is why I don't make the decisions but just get to criticize them on SS.com!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I just think UND is rushing the kid. Besides we have more than enough talent to finish year with, without rushing a kid up to the WCHA. Its not like he played for Shattacks were they play 80 games against tougher competition... Quote

dagies Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Personally, I'd rather see Oshie play 2 years in the USHL. Think how good he'd be then! Quote
DanHFboards Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Rising T.J. Oshie / Warroad HS (MN) Position: Center Height: 5-11 Weight: 190 Oshie is a skilled, hard-nosed forward who can score. He will play any style you throw at him. Oshie played with Niskanen in the same all-star game. He was the best forward on the ice in this game, as he contributed offensively, played with great determination, was physical and was a one-on-one threat whenever he was on the ice. He had an outstanding tournament and will be attending the University of North Dakota. Oshie has a great work ethic and is well coached. ISS Top 10 2005 prospects for April Quote

THETRIOUXPER Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Honestly, I don't see what the all the debate is about on this deal. In the grand scheme of things all of our opinions mean squat. If in fact he is on campus this fall, I would welcome him aboard and wish him the best of luck. Quote
Sioux-per Villain Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 I suspect alot will depend on our need for right handed or left handed forwards. Isn't Oshie lefthanded? If so, he would likely be considered before Vandevelde. (both are going to be good impact players whenever they join the team). I've never seen Brad Miller or heard much about him. Anyone know what type of player he is? Is he supposed to provide heavy scoring or is he nothing more than "filler" on a 3rd or 4th line? Quote
popeye Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 I'm one of those, like Sic, who believe that, with Martens walking on, in order for Oshie to come a year early, one of our forwards must be leaving. Here are unlikely yet possible reasons: 1. <hinted> 2. Brad Miller is staying in the USHL 3. Bina is giving up his scholarship while he's on medical redshirt 4. Drew Stafford just signed with Buffalo 5. Lee Marvin isn't returning to the team 6. Kaip isn't returning to the team. Now, apart from #1 and maybe #2, the rest is horsecrap. Ergo, I'll wait until it is officially announced before I welcome him early. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Kaip is returning,he has been symtom free for over 2 months and has been doing full work outs with no problems. The true test will be contact but a full recvery seems likely. Quote

If he does it will be on the 4th line. I think he has some talent but as deep as the team is at forward he will really have to impress the coaches to move into a top 3 line spot. If you figure the line combos it is hard to figure him in anywhere but the 4th line, but we shall see when practice starts, maybe he will turn some heads. Quote
dagies Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 TJ IS RIGHT HANDED Thanks, Heisenberg lists him as a lefty. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Pretty clear which handed he shoots in this photo. Quote
siouxnami Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Pretty clear which handed he shoots in this photo. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What an awesome backhand. Quote
PCM Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Pretty clear which handed he shoots in this photo. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How does that team get away with having two goalies? Or is Oshie just that good? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 How does that team get away with having two goalies? Or is Oshie just that good? They refer to the allowance of two goalies when TJ is the opposition as "The Oshie Rule". Quote
cavedurtis Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 How does that team get away with having two goalies? Or is Oshie just that good? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Looks like he's a lazy back-checker. Quote
Cratter Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Looks like he's a lazy back-checker. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> with a righthanded stick Quote
cavedurtis Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 with a righthanded stick <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is #26 available? Quote
sprig Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Is #26 available? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That would be Radke. Quote
redwing77 Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Is #26 available? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If my estimates are correct, the numbers that will be available or are currently available are: 3, 5-10, 12, 16, 20, 22, 25, 29-33, 35+ (this assumes Matt Greene, Matt Smaby, Brady Murray, and Drew Stafford stay). One thing of note: I'm expecting Zach Jones to inherit the #3 Quote
Cratter Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Is #26 available? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I misread. thought: lazy "back -hander." Quote
