Learned something very interesting about ELCs yesterday.
Those that will remain 19 years old in contract signing year can not burn a year of their ELC by playing only one game in the NHL.
So Logan Cooley would not have been able to burn a year in 23-24 if he played one game. If so he may have...

I would welcome Omaha as the 8th team in the Big Ten. Road trippable conference opponents are important.
You know he is not making nearly that, right? That is with all possible performance and award bonuses which he definitely isn't getting.
He has likely made just about $1MM so far.
He could have come back and played at the end of the year to burn the same year in his ELC.
After winning in 1979, Gopher fans watched 12 different teams and fanbases celebrate at least once before they could celebrate again.
Since winning in 2003, Gophers fans have watched 12 different teams and fanbases celebrate at least once.
It's time to end this fucking drought.
Yup, that's why I said that line is tiny and still to be determined. And if Celebrini goes, it becomes BC then a huge gap and then the rest. Ideally, they have a bad game and someone knocks them out and the Gophers are in a different regional.
Broz signed. If Buium goes (wouldn't be surprising with a title and older brother gone), DU probably drops to that UMN/UND/MSU tier for next season.

UM
tiny, maybe non-existent gap
