I'm from MG & have watched him play for a couple of years. Amazing goalie. He has put up serious numbers playing in front of some talented offensive MG teams, but not very good defensively. Think about what he could do with our D recruits coming in the next 2-3 years? Gophers, Duluth & St. Cloud are on him like Edina kids on cake. One of his former teammates from MG committed to the Gophers last year, hopefully a new coach coming in & uncertainty will steer him away from Minny & north to the Sioux. 

Edina kids on cake. That’s good stuff.

Not many nhl games among all of them.   Forbort has made it, Jordan may stick soon

Not many NHL games? Herter and Finley were low, but the rest have 100+, 200+, 100+ and is becoming a permanent staple and Schmaltz is becoming more important.

Of course NHL teams want LOADS of games from their first rounders, but most of these player have had and will have good NHL careers.

David Hale was one of the most dominant college hockey defenseman we have had here. If not for injuries and health issues would have carved a long NHL career...might even still be playing.

The uncertainty in the short term could be a possibility, but going forward, I think if they got rid of Lucia and his arrogance, I would bet that a lot of the recruits they are losing might flow back Minnesota's way.   I suppose that depends on who they would get to replace him, but here's to having Lucia hang around like a Red Berenson clone!

Physically and defensively, yes, but not as much of an offensive presence as many defensemen we have had.

True, but stay at homers are still valuable in the nhl, if for nothing else to cover up for former gophers

Here's the NTDP Eval Camp invite list.

At some point in a different thread somebody complimented Motzko on his ability to recruit without the benefits of the REA or the history of UND. He has zero recruits being considered for the NTDP. I'm not complaining about this because it backs up my point: SCSU doesn't compete with UND for recruits. You win every one of those battles. Look at where the kids on this list are committed... those are the schools competing with UND for recruits. Motzko is a good recruiter, but he (and his staff) are phenomenal scouts and coaches. He finds the players that UND, Minnesota, UMD, Notre Dame, and USA Hockey miss.

Still, plenty of uncommitted kids on this list to keep an eye on, but none from Minnesota or North Dakota. All of them have already committed.

I just listed them out... Hale over 100, Lee over 200 ... Forbort is already over 100.

didn't realize hale played that many before the injury.  Lee's number surprised me,  would have guessed he had fewer than 50

So admittedly, certainly not monster NHL careers, but those guys have been pretty good. 

ND has,  however,  developed a good number of later round picks as well as undrafted dmen to relatively long nhl carrers

Interesting to see Jake Sanderson on this list.

Cole Shepard making his playoff debut for Penticton. 16 yr old who was taken in the 2nd round of WHL Draft but has has left NCAA options open, including UND.

Having Boeser there and also when Stecher signed with the hometown team are both helping us recruit in Vancouver. Every Canucks game you watch UND gets a mention.
