I’m really hoping we get Carels…or crazier yet DuPont. I do think Carels may help the team more next year though. If neither, Chyz needs to find two more really solid dmen. 

Really hope Chyz snags at least one of the remaining Big 3 dmen.  If not, it'll seem like a slightly "disappointing" offseason without landing a single big whale from the CHL.  As I mentioned in another thread, I like all the additions so far.  But after the wave of excitement when Cole and Keaton committed last year at this time, it would be a little crazy to not ride that momentum and land some more CHL studs.

Remember we have MacKenzie coming in.

Assuming we land Carels we will almost certainly have 3 players on the Canadian WJC team.

Not exactly sure about the other schools but maybe 1/2 other teams in the country can match that? Maybe Michigan and Michigan state and that's it?

It could be proximity, but I find Minnesota professional sports fans to be the most annoying. I know fans of many professional sports teams, but Vikings and Wild fans are easily the worst in my experience. They win a few games and they are Super Bowl bound or Stanley Cup bound and rub it in the faces of other teams' fans, and they lose a few games and they want to fire everyone, blow up the team and complain about how the refs always single their teams out. It is the same every year, and the announcers like Paul Allen and Kevin Gorg are just glorified cheerleaders. 

PA's schtick has worn thin and Gorg needs to just leave those eyebrows alone.

Agreed…This would probably feel different for me if so many “in-the-know” folks weren’t confidently sharing the equivalent of a silent commit all the way back to Brad when Keaton and Cole first committed. Now time’s ticking and suddenly everybody is tempering expectations instead and Jax is filling the roster with solid transfers. I’m sure the team will be fine either way, but hard not to feel some letdown if Chyz doesn’t make at least one splash.

DuPont gets the scoring going tonight.
Yeah...he'd be fun to watch at UND next season...

Some will agree, some will disagree, but I'm hoping the NCAA's proposed eligibility changes either don't go through or men's hockey gets an exception to remain as is. The junior hockey development structure (& thus NCAA Hockey structure) would be knocked off its axis if you forced the NCAA eligibility clock to start at age 19. You'd limit careers quite a bit IMHO
