MN HS hockey will be fine. The only U18 kids going up will be the ones with crazy parents sending them all over the country already (the Shattuck and Sioux Falls kids today) and a handful of 12th graders that would have previously gone to the USHL.

Potential hope for MN college teams: If the GOP gets another four years it would not be completely insane to see them try to limit NCAA imports somehow over the next five years which would then obviously put MN and MNHS right back to the top. Chances of anything like that happening? Probably...

Because the MN schools aren't getting any of them...

College hockey is the only sport I care to watch. I have seen it evolve over time. And honestly, I'm just sad because I believe NIL + CHL could be a death blow not only to the Gophers but to all six MN college teams. I think you may not see a MN school win a title in the next ten or even twenty...

Tough to play against in a one and done usually requires a goalie that can steal HUGE games, and doesn't look like they have that. Sorry, I'm just not seeing it anywhere across the lineup nor in the coaching staff.

Mooney is more likely to be a 6th rounder than a 2nd rounder. I think expectations of the impact he can have as a freshman have come way down, as well. And I don't know how you can expect this team to "make it physical" when the Gophers have almost always been one of the softest teams in the...

I historically haven't cared about rounds much either and have been proud of the Gophers having the most draft picks in the country even if others had higher picks. But now they have neither the most nor the most top picks. And we can all look back and say most of the most impactful players on...

I keep a document of draft picks across all of college hockey, though it's WAY harder now... I'll update this over time. But as of now, BU roster is looking absolutely insane. UMN: 14 10 drafted + Rombach/Moe/Kvasnicka/Mooney (assume Phillips delayed) 0 first round 0 second round (expecting...

Fraud as a fan that goes to every FF the Gophers make, regionals in SF/Fargo, away games in Kato/Col Springs/Madison/Duluth/Cloud, was a season ticket holder in the highest donation section (club room) until finally getting sick of Big Ten opponents... Many Gopher fans just accept mediocrity...

For sure. Call it 30,000.

When the Wolves lose it moves to 126 seasons come and gone without even making a finals appearance for the Big Four. JFC And you know when one finally makes a final they're going to Loserville it.

Really wish I was one of the 300 people that cared cuz the men's teams continue to make us Loserville USA more than any metro area has ever been.

Past players that are still in the pros have extremely little impact on recruiting. Other than something like a cousin. It wouldn't surprise me to see Mooney transfer after one year if the team struggles as I expect them to.

Adam Nightingale assistant coach on the first US team to win worlds in 92 years.

While Motzko fills his gaps with DU rejects, UND making recruiting strides with Cole Reschny :rolleyes:

MSU reject undrafted goalie DU reject undrafted LHD Drafted but injured flip from Omaha Undrafted Flip from Mankato Accelerated forward to bring in a year early (plus another accelerated forward already coming in a year earlier than optimal) No one can look at that and call what he's done this...

Looks like Motzko is going to pick up DU rejects/scraps in Finn McLaughlin while they load up better players from CHL. Cool

He doesn't need to tip the scales.. They have stars at every position. And every small increase can net out to tip the scales for a title.

MSU lands another star... It's over for the Gophers. The donation/NIL base is too weak at the U. Depressing https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/871050/eric-nilson
