A few anecdotes I compiled while satisfying my curiosity about Lindberg:

-21 points: CC was #9 in SOS, UND was #15; only 2 multi-point games, conversely only two series in which he did not register a point

-171/316 (54.1%) FO: settled into a role at wing, but has solid center experience

-44.3 in CHNs CHIP metric (FWIW): closest NCHC comp, Barrett Hall SCSU; closest UND comp, Mac Swanson

A good get, brings quite a bit to the table.

I have to wonder why he was playing wing with that good % in the dot. BTW, nice job on the research.

Nice. Portal pickups should be complete with that.

In Chyzyk we trust!

As an aside, one thing I like about Chyzyk is that he is a National Champion.  He saw firsthand what a national championship team looks like.  No one else on staff has that.

I meant as a player, but yes, he does as a coach.

The best part of the article is this:

Quote

The 6-foot, 200-pound forward from Fredrikstad, Norway, has done most of his goal-scoring on the power play. In the last two seasons, 12 of his 17 goals have come with the man advantage — most of them thanks to his one-timer.

He also plays with an edge and brings physicality, allowing him to play up or down a lineup.

Get Lindberg and Magnussen to fill spots on those 3rd/4th lines, and UND gets even more dangerous as those lines will also be able to chip in more goals.
From what I'm seeing, there were three departures that were by players that still had a role next season (Strathmann, Littler, Klee).  All three portal grabs are direct replacements & upgrades to fill those three vacant roles.  That's a portal win.

Magnussen added.
2 F and 2 D to go.
Guessing that might conclude our portal additions unless an unexpected elite player enters or we don't land our expected CHL players.
