Chuck Schwartz Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 So which is it? Lapoint is coming for sure to Grand Forks this fall? Can we take that as gospel then? 100%, yes. My Magic 8 ball says your wrong My magic 8 ball says your ridiculous in your assessment of your magic 8 ball. There is a better chance of him playing in the NHL with the Panthers next year then playing in the USHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Unless someone signs we are going to be plum full at Defense. we will have Lee, Bina, Finley, Jones, Chorney Genoway. I don't expect any of those guys not playing. If Genoway goes back to forward someone is going to be sitting out because I don't see Chay sitting in the stands either. Bina earned the right to play every game and proved to be one of UND's best offensive threats. Unless someone is going pro. genoway is very good at either position, he is a great player to have, we will know much more when lee decides which i thin hes gone, hes the major player here we have to wait on.

Do you guys really think Lee will sign? My crystal ball is crack, my magic miror fell of the wall but I must be missing something where he is ready to go to the pros? I am thinking he would just fine back on the blue line in Grand Forks next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn-O Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 A healthy LaPoint will be in the lineup every night next season, I think we can take that to the bank from what I'm hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 got off work early today so have a couple key's....anyone want some So whatt ya gonna do? Kick back, slurp down some nasty Keystone brew (assuming you're not in UND Housing, because that's dry), and enjoy the day? I hope some "Hogan's Heroes" re-runs are on for you. I loved that show: Col Klink: Sch-h-h-hu-u-u-ultz! Sergeant: Herr Comandant! Just don't be watching Scot log tossing (whatever that's called) on ESPN 294. Go for the spelling bee on ESPN 423.

Fetch Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 NO ONE said Lapointe is not ready for the Sioux - But will there be a spot for him - I'm very sure Marto is coming in next yr I should have just bet a few of you & made some $$$ & some of you sound like someone said he (Lapointe) is not good enough or won't make it - This is how threads & rumors get started & people ASSuME things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux_Hab-it Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I'm very sure Marto is coming in next yr Who told you that. I would think that Lapointe is a much more likely addition to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I would be surprised if Genoway moved back to forward, because I think he can make a greater impact at defense. It will be interesting to see if both Marto and Lapoint come in next year. I don't believe Marto can go back to the USHL because of age limitations. Does anyone know exactly what the age limit is?

#1siouxfan22 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 LaPoint will be better than Marto, but Marto should be a fine 4 year player for the sioux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 btw lapointe will make a good addition to the bench right by ryan martens or mike forney. There's no way that LaPoint sits on the bench much next season. He is ready for the college level and will be a great player for the Sioux. Also, I think we see a healthy Forney do quite well next year in the lineup. My guess is that both LaPoint and Marto come in this fall. Which will leave us with (9): Bina, Radke, Chorney, Lee, Genoway, LaPoint, Jones, Finley, Marto With Radke staying at forward, that leaves us with 8 dmen, which is the magic number. Marto will be the odd man out, but will still get playing time with injuries and whatnot. We need him to get some experience this upcoming year, because the d-corps will be depleted the year after that. Then from the 7 remaining, you either play the 6 the practiced the best that week, or move Genoway up to forward. That also leaves some extra room should Lee or Finley leave this summer.

Fetch Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 To compete, players must be 20 years-old or under before the season begins. However, a player who was born January 1, 1984, would be eligible to play in the USHL for the 2004-05 season. A player born December 31, 1983, is not eligible for this season. http://www.ushl.com/about/about.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the staff thought at least one of the three high draft D would be gone after their soph year. Obviously it is an inexact science. Better to have too many players than scrambling in July/August trying to find a player or bringing in a USHL player a year before you wanted too.

stickboy1956 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 http://www.ushl.com/about/about.cfm It looks like Marto would be too old for the USHL next year. You need to be an '87 or younger to play. Birthday: Aug 11, 1986 http://www.pointstreak.com/framed/prostats...p;seasonid=1336 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickboy1956 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 you dont sit any of the 7 mentioned, genoway plays forward, hes not sitting and neither will the other 6 The downside to this is that the staff has a lot of time invested in Genoway at D - you would be essentially "throwing that away" if he plays forward next year. Some would argue he was a top 4 D at the end of the season. Moving him to F is a last/drastic resort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxhockeyfan11 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 ive seen marto play, im from grand forks, watched him play for central not very impressed with this kid if its true that you watched him play for central you must not know hockey..he would change the game everytime he was on the ice. he has excellent hands and good speed for a defenseman. he dominated high school hockey the year he played and thats the reason he won Mr. Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
