I'd guess Gaber, Blake, Perron, and James.
Although that's a really tough matchup since Gaber doesn't have the hands of Hrkac and I don't think Perron is gonna lay anyone out like Oshie could.   

Ah yes, the Wehrs corner hit. Always a big favorite. Could never understand why they called a penalty.

Haha!
Yes, that one and the one where he laid out the CC (?) player when they were both flying down the ice to beat out the icing.  I remember those two the most.

Oshie never hit Wehrs in Wehr"s Corner. Frattin one year and Malone the next.

Oshie did dumptruck him at Mariucci though. Oshie was coming out of own end and someone threw a bad pass to him which he reached back to control and Wehrs had him lined up and Osh never even saw Wehrs coming.....and didn't even know he was there. Oshie just rolled right over him and took a peak back like he maybe drove over a squirrel as he continued up the ice with the puck and Wehrs made his way to the bench.

I've heard he's super quick on his skates.  Would be great to continue to progress back to the "speed kills" UND days.
I haven't been able to find anywhere that lists his narrowed down college choices.  As @ChadR asked above...I wonder if Berry can seal the deal with him and/or Hensler...those high end blue chippahs have eluded us since Sanderson.

Gopher fans already have Bump penciled into their top line for next season. 
His USHL stats certainly don't jump off the page, but with only 12 forwards on their roster, they need to add some players ASAP.

I think Potter goes BU…the class is loaded and will help his draft stock (they’re all in…and rightfully so).

We need to get Hensler…I don’t think we will but I hope I’m wrong.

Yes I believe that was Nate Prosser he destroyed.

Pohlkamp is going to be a miss…Bemidji? I honestly think he’s going to regret that one. He sure is looking really good. He really needs to play for a bigger school. I’m guessing he’s a great kid that holds to his initial commitment. That’s awesome…but man, he’s too good for BSU. There I said it.

Portal bait

Dang, that VT Twitter account must feel sheepish. 
I thought a player couldn’t enter the transfer portal after a certain date?

Timing would work out for a MN commitment for sure, Motzko I’m guessing would be feeling a bit stressed after the late Cooley signing and needing to add some skill (and numbers) up front. 

Bump is the Cooley roster replacement in dinky town.

Put it on the board.

I agree with that.

McMahon is stirring the pot a bit though:

Big day tomorrow!
The Rink Live has a commitment board that will list all the Aug 1st commitments as they come in:

Sometimes I can’t always tell when he actually knows something and just guessing lol.  His recruiting newsletter yesterday was 90 percent him guessing.

There's some sort of development camp that's taking place at the University of Minnesota right now (Bartlett Hockey?). Mooney is there as well as Cooley. A long shot feels even longer. 

[Sodacker]

Everyone has been talking that he’s automatic for Minnesota but some guys that may be kinda connected are saying anything but.

If bump comes here…don’t we have too many F? He’s solid but not a college hockey stud at this point

Bad news: Wayne's not giving up wearing the sweater vest with a sport coat behind the desk.

Maybe call Jagr; he always seems to have miles left.

Sucker bet. 
After a major July loss, yes, the Gopher roster will get a Bump. 

The only factor that has me believing otherwise is that he's on Schlossman's radar for some reason.

We're 26 man, 15F/8D/3G, now.
We've run 27 man versions (16F or 9D) recently also.

This is exactly what I thought.  Minnesota makes the most sense with Cooley heading south.

Oh I’d take him definitely. But he’s also more of a project I would assume.

Spending a fair bit of time over at eliteprospects.com, and man is that the laggiest, slowest website ever. I swear there's modem sounds in the background.

Can Bump immediately play elsewhere? He could use another year of juniors based on his stat line.

Schloss just torpedoed the YHH post.

Yes he can, due to the coach being fired.

Juniors wouldn't hurt him.
