Recent notable portal entries. I don't expect the Gophers to go after any of them.
Charlie Leddy - D - BC - 2 years left
Colby Ambrosio - F - BC - 1 year left
Jeremy Wilmer - F - BU - 2 years left
Ty Gallagher - D - BU - 1 year left
Aiden Hansen-Bukata - D - RIT - 1 year left

Still waiting on confirmation of Whitelaw to UM, after they picked up Lovell and Stein.

anyone know why Wilmer leaving? Would assume it's just because he wants a bigger role somewhere? and yeah i completely agree there's not really "room" at this point for the Gophers to look at any of these guys unless someone else is on the way out, which you'd expect Bob to know by now.

Getting scratched in the Frozen Four probably didn't help

no i had seen that; just was wondering if there was some smoke/fire behind the why. he only missed one other game all year and they scratched him for a guy with 2g and 1a all year in 23 games. just interesting for a guy who was #5 on their team in +/- and played on their PP

If you want to give Denver the benefit of the doubt, sure, they’ve earned it. But UND has one tournament win in the last 7 years. So to give them a bump simply because they play in Denver’s conference is just dumb. But again you have shown that you aren’t any more objective than even the biggest gopher homers.

Big ten has had 5 frozen four teams in the last 3 years, NCHC has had two. So when calculating the odds of making the frozen four, your logic makes zero sense as usual.

I'm with you on this one. The NCHC hasn't been very dominate the last few years. Only Denver has.

Leddy to Qpac
 


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.

BC
gap
BU
gap
UM
tiny, maybe non-existent gap
DU/UMN/UND/MSU

I wouldn’t put UM above the rest. Even with all the talent last year they were bipolar. Choice from Casey will be huge and their goaltending will be just as big a question as ours.
And I’d be pretty surprised if the younger Buium is back and will be curious to see what happens with Michigan states guys. Haven’t seen much out there

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.

Did I miss an official announcement on either Souliere or Wood? I don't recall seeing one. At least not on X. I suppose it could have been announced somewhere else.

It's official they just wait until they're all enrolled and all that stuff.
 

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 left right away.

Owen Power and Matt Beniers were able to leave and burn a year because they have late in the year birthdays.

What's my point specifically? Mack Celebrini can not burn a year by playing one NHL game at the end of 24-25. This increases the odds he leaves after being drafted.

Zeev Buium can burn a year with one game. Look for him to maybe go back to DU. Same for Levshunov.
 

U18s are on NHL Network. College hockey is fucked next year. Hagens and Stiga are both sick.

And a hat trick for Eiserman. Of course.

Stiga with a hat trick already today with Hagens all three primaries.

Eiserman set to break Caufield's record.

The Boston dominance in recruiting is painful.

EDIT: Now Hagens has 3+3 and 7-9-16 in four games. BC will be the most heavy title favorite in college hockey history.

Eiserman tied with Caufield heading into GMG

Hagens breaks the all time U18 record for one tournament is his draft minus 1 year.
 



Updated after Hagens' dominance
BC (Best team on paper of the 2000s, maybe ever)
huge gap
BU (if Celebrini is back)
gap
UM/DU/UMN/UND/MSU

it's BC and then everyone else. the next layer is all going to be reasonably close.

As far as Celebrini, of the possible lottery teams, I'd say all of the top 3 would want him in right away as well as most anyone at this point so I'd be very surprised to see him back. also pending how the lottery goes, some of those BC guys may come under a bit of extra pressure to sign if teams are looking to accelerate a rebuild (ie SJ may want both Smith and Celebrini to come in if they land him).

Celebrini + Eiserman reunited will absolutely work college hockey. That's enough for them to be locked into 2nd for now. Plus the 2nd Hutson coming in to do more of the same.
 

An old throwback, but swankler the former ccha preseason player of the year just transferred to D3

I feel like you both are discounting losing Sophomore Cutter Gauthier too much. BC is team to beat. But he was their leading goal scorer by a decent margin.

They are adding a number one overall pick. Plus all three of the top line are sophomores so they'll all be even more dominant.

They are better going into this season than last year.

The top line will have a similar point total to this year.

Also, are you saying Hagens will have more points next year than Gauthier this year? Doubtful.

I think he’s saying the 3 returning sophomores all score more and be more dominant than they already were, which I agree with.

Expectation would be for Hagens to be similar to their freshman last year. So overall you’re looking better.
