Next 5-10 years of Gopher hockey will be...


I'm sure year one will be rough by gopher standards with improvement in year two, peak will be years 3-6 with slow decline after, probably similar Bobs arc, but if Bart gets a Natty at the peak, he can survive the first valley like Lucia did, or like Brooks did in 77 and 78. Woog run from 84-85 through 96-97 was the longest sustained period of consistent success just didn't win the big one
 

With the CHL and NIL making things tougher for Minnesota, it's unlikely the Gophers of the next 5 to 10 years will be as good as the 2012-2015 and 2021-2023 era teams.

That will come down to Larson adapting to new rules or having assistants the right connections to the CHL, but once you get passed the top ten guys in Canada, the CHL isn't that great of a league, plus the five for five thing isn't going to help the depth guys out that are older. As far as NIL goes, we have a pretty rich group of alumni who played hockey here, the right guy will tap into that, will see Bart is that guy
 

Okay, I'm not connected to the hockey community like you guys. Who is "Bart"?
