Airey to the portal, he will be know as the goalie that choked in the NCAA against UMass

The goalie that was in for like 3 minutes and made as many saves as I did. 

The Souliere pad fiasco in Fargo shall never be forgotten.

Add in the “he was tripped” and “he was taken down”

Miguel Marques (Maine) to the portal

Michael Neumeier in the portal

Arizona State feels like where he’ll end up.

Figured there would be about 5-7 more Goofs in the portal by now.  Maybe they’re going to run it back with that abysmal Dcore and some real head scratchers at forwards.  Bold strategy

Might be waiting until after the Frozen Four to put their names in. 
 

Names are coming out before they can enter, so maybe Gopher players who are not grad-transfers are thinking they can’t enter yet

Maybe the new coaching staff will better connect with them and get them to play better. Sometimes all it takes is a new voice.

Exactly, sometimes it’s how you use the talent you have, and the progression you make from year to year.  Wiebe and Livanavage are not the same defensemen they were their first year or two.  Just look at the strides Emery and Strathmann made from their first year. Minnesota might clear out a few guys to make room for players they like in the portal and that might come with Larson from St. Cloud.

Based on Larson's visit with PA on KFAN, revamping the defense is his 1st priority.  I'm guessing he is waiting to see who is in the portal to fill in the holes, who from Canadian JRs would even consider MN, and making decisions based on current roster and incoming recruits.

He'd be a nice pickup for someone.

[fightingsioux4life]

Anyone think Duluth will lose anyone in the portal?

He's from Madison, likely within the Big Ten and probably the Badgers

Any chance Gavin McKenna sticks around Penn State for another season?

Could I see him sticking around, sure. Will he stick around, probably not.

No, but maybe he could. He did say he was looking to sign right way

Q's goalie situation has been terrible for the past two seasons. I could've sworn they had a well-regarded freshman coming in next season, but maybe I'm mistaking them for another team in the conference.
