Well, next years class is pretty much finished unless they need/add a depth guy.

scpa0305 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Oliver Wahlstrom isn’t going to Harvard, per Schloss. I would be hoping Bubs would be all over this. Times are changing though, I could see him choose Michigan. They are stacked with blue chips and there has been rumors that J. Hughes may go there. tyler Weiss not going to BU. M Mcmahan noted he is interested in DU or another NCHC school. Again, Bubs should be promising the world to these kids right about now.

Top line/top pp time...and all the free red pepper him and his family wants. I would go hard after that Weiss kid. If he’s interested in DU and “another NCHC team”. I would sure hope it was us.

SiouxFan25 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Weiss would be a great pick up, but I don’t think he’s any better than Hain and they play the same position. Wahlstrom on the other hand would be coming onto a team with only 1 right winger on the roster, who’s just a bottom 6 grinder (Bowen). I know the chances of getting him are slim to none, but the pitch is pretty sweet. We’ve got a very solid top LW and C, and Wahlstrom could be the elite RW the top line is missing. Door is wide open for him to get great exposure with a top tier hockey school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scpa0305 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Luke Bast put up good numbers in the AJ for a junior in high school (late 2000 birthdate). Good numbers in their playoffs as well. Not the greatest of leagues however I wouldn’t be shocked to see Berry extend an offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a very knowledgeable person and I appreciate your posts, but I think your impression about the strength of the AJHL it is not completely accurate. It may not be the USHL or the BCHL, but its a strong league, much better than the MJHL or the SJHL. UND has had many quality alumni from the AJHL, including Aaron Dell, Matt Frattin, Corban Knight, Gary Valk, Dixon Ward, Troy Murray, Perry Berezan, Rick Zapernick, etc. There have also been very recent good players from the AJHL, including Mason Raymond, Justin Fontaine and Dylan Olsen from UMD, Joe Colborne of Denver and Rene Borque, not to mention former greats like Dany Heatley, Mike Comrie, Mark Messier and the Sutter brothers. I have no problem with UND recruiting players from the AJ. It is probably underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with UND recruiting players from the AJ. It is probably underrated. No, I’m not knocking the league, I just mean the depth of the league isn’t that of the USHL or BCHL. Probably more on par with the NAHL (with a few more high enders). I mean, Cale Makar played in the AJ and he was the 4 pick last year. I worry about recruiting overagers from those leagues just because they put up big numbers. Many times younger high end players will play in those leagues prior to heading to the CHL, USHL, or BCHL because it is a hometown/local team. i was being serious, I like what L Bast has done in that league, especially in the playoffs. Curious if he would head to the BC or USHL next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just lost Wahlstrom from the USNDT who was planning on attending next year. I believe it was due to admission policies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
