What we really need is a weekly zoom conference where Jax and staff get a chance to hear our advice.  I’m sure they’ve never considered a lot of what we have to say.

Yes, I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t be a complete waste of their time.

Couldn't agree more.  There should honestly be three of them.  One with us (weekly/bi-weekly?), then player advisors, and lastly parents.

Our main goal here is accountability.  And nattys.

UND has 2 sophomores and 2 juniors for next year--Laurilla, Verhoeff, Boser and Emery. What's your point?

Verheoff is still going to be an 18 year old next year and honestly made me nervous every time he was on the ice. Never knew what was going to happen.

In 2016 the best defenseman on the CHAMPIONSHIP team were...Junior Paul Ladue, Junior Troy Stecher, Sophomore Tucker Poolman, Junior Gage Ausmus.  They didn't have a single senior defenseman.  

This year UND lost Livenavage, Wiebe.  

All of these guys are irreplaceable by upper-classmen.  Look in the portal...they don't exist. 

No fan would complain about getting any of these players as a Junior or Senior but they simply aren't out there and even if one or two are every team wants them.

The focus on age and upperclassmen is nonsense. There’s so much more that goes into a player, and their development. Verheoff had an off game against Duluth. He responded with three solid performances. All of these guys will come back bigger and better.

💯. If they get some blue-chips to complete the roster...super.  If not I'm totally okay with a good player who will probably need to develop into their role.  I'd take a good freshman over a good senior almost every time.  Next years team will be talented as it is.  How talented remains to be seen?

Yeah except their D core was 5 upperclassmen and 1 freshman…

But in the same token, did Zeev Buium ever come off the ice as an underclassmen?  You do need experience, but if a Zeev Buium or a Logan Britt is available, I know who I would take.

Not taking a side in this debate, but I do have to disagree that Verhoeff had a solid game against Wisconsin. Now to be fair, most of the team struggled, but he really crumbled against that forecheck
