I Ranger Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Anyone know anything about Adam Benak? Czech kid playing in the USHL this year and a potential first round in next years draft. Wonder if we would be after him as I'm sure most of the big time schools are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I’ve heard about his recruitment is that he’s gotten interest from NCHC and Big 10 schools. It wasn’t specified which schools though.

I read a rink live story where they talked about him. I wasn't sure if he played professionally in Czecha looking at his elite prospects page, but he was one I'd want them to recruited.

yzerman19 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Bobby losing Mikey Berchild is not good for that program. There is a lot of grumping about Motzko not letting the horses run. They lost a committed Eiserman...I'm waiting to see who they land. Next year the two top Minny kids will be Schneider and Fitzhenry. If they opt to go somewhere else....

yzerman19 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Btw- heard nothing but great things about David Carle...heard he is big time professional and pitches kids on exactly what he sees them doing for the next 2-4 years and how that will develop them and drive their and the program's success. Sounds like he is a great person and a great recruiter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given this is Minnesota, asking their forwards to play defense has been a problem for the last 40 years. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he is a great person and a great recruiter Definitely need to send Ole & Lars to DU for a 'hit', NoDak-style. Carle is recruiting great talent, but it's more than that: he's getting more out of his players in March & April when it matters most. That's an invaluable skill & he's a natural at it. Therein lies the difference between him & Berry. It's conceivable that DU could keep racking up championships & leave UND in the dust trophy-wise if we don't stop self-destructing in the playoffs soon.

From what I can see, he lets his skill guys be skill guys. He allows mistakes. He knows when to tighten things up by the end of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why no skilled playmaker is their right mind would pick Notre Dame right now. I've seen it too many times where a dynamic player is forced into a system of pucks deep, work the wall, start the cycle, get net front, stay on the defensive side of the puck...yes those things need to be deployed at times to win games, but when you bring in a kid that scores 2 points per game based on speed, skill, and IQ and you turn him into a cog in the machine...barf 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I mentioned a couple 2009 studs from minnesota. Crazy to think that 2009s are up next...2010s being looked at seriously...where did time go?

Already pretty decent, as they were picked to finish first in the CCHA. Pretty fast ascension, and I imagine since they are recruiting in the Minneapolis area and are now moving to the NCHC, they will only get better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
