Transfer Portal

If they aren’t here next year, id say WHL over another college

What kind of a message board would this be if things didn't get blown out of proportion?

We may not be good for much, but we can overreact to things better than anyone

If worst comes to worst and all three of Faber/Johnson/Lacombe leave, the two Krygier brothers would at least add some physicality next year. But doubt we need two D from the portal. Just one probably.

Pass

Yeah no thank you.

Nope

Nyet to that.

There was only one player in the conference who spent more time in the box than those two. I’m guessing Bob wouldn’t care too much for that.

Yes, they would only deserve to be 7th/8th D men on a Gopher roster, and Fish hopefully can satisfy the physical presence when needed.

Still no thank you.

They're of no use to this team.

1) I would not put any money of the Lucius boys being at the “U” next year. And for not entering the portal yet?!?!?! Why would Chaz enter before the Gophers season is over. Why miss out on all fun right now.

2) Billy Hengen last year at SCSU (2005-2006) was Motzko first year at SCSU. He also was the head coach at Holy Angels for a couple years after Greg Trebil retired.

What’s your point on Billy Hengen?

Just throwing it out there.

So the idea in your head is they want to leave the program but wait to enter the portal in case we win because a guy they know coached at holy angels?

Is Co-Director of Boys Hockey at Gentry more creditable?

This may be the greatest ongoing game of "telephone" I've ever witnessed.

Entering the portal doesn't immediately sever your ties with the team, yet I don't think he's traveling with the team anyway is he? Regardless I don't envision any reason for him to wait to enter the portal if his mind is made up on leaving. We shall see.

Bueller, Bueller...

Outside of pure speculation does ANYONE have one shred of concrete evidence that either Lucius is not playing at the U next year? This is beyond ridiculous at this point. The only piece so far is the Twitter reply to Vegoe about the foot injury from someone very close to the family. We've taken that ball and ran right down the fucking field with it.

Unless you're a member of the Lucius family or work for the U Hockey Ops just shut up...seriously shut. the. eff. up!

:rantonoff:

Well I never!!

I thought he left before this past season started. I know he led the summer program but I'm pretty sure he left right after that.

Not that it really matters all that much.

Is that you, Chaz?

I just posted what little I know of the guy. As well as my opinion on the Lucius boys. I'm not saying they'll be here or not next year. I just wouldn't put money on it. I have about the same bit of inside knowledge on the matter as 99% on this site... which is nothing.

Clarkson soph G Jacob Mucitelli (8-0-1, .944)

Small sample size but wow stats haha. Also 6'3".

Seven of his nine starts were against teams that didn't play hockey last year. The other two were against St. Lawrence, who doesn't really play hockey ever.

Sounds like he'd do well in Mankato

Also the percentage of players staying/leaving next year. Who gives a shit, they got a championship to win yet THIS YEAR!

Simon Kjellberg - quality option at D

Question: Jackson Jutting (just an example) is listed as having 3 seasons left on the portal page. He was at CC 20-21 and 21-22. He doesn't get the fifth year of play option, right? Shouldn't it be 2 seasons left?

20-21 doesn't count towards his four years of eligibility, so he still has three left.

It is my understanding that anyone who played during the covid years gets a free year. So, 20-21 doesn't count for him, and that leaves him with 3 years left. Same for Almquist from Duluth for example. He has played 3 years already, but can play 2 more. It is going to take a couple of more years to flush those out.

EDIT-- Just what Maize said.

Correct, so I just assume everyone will use the year when I put years left.

Got it, I thought 19-20 was the only "Covid year" cuz there was a title last year.

If I understand this correctly, half of Mankato's roster will still be eligible well into their 30's? :confused2:

We are gonna apply for waivers well onto their 40s.

20-21 was included because it was a limited schedule. Most conferences did not play a non-conference schedule, many schools missed games due to Covid, and some schools cancelled their season altogether (mostly the Ivy League schools, but also Union and RPI).

NCAA Division I Men's Hockey 2020-2021

The link doesn't mention anything about an extra "Covid year" for the players, but when you look at the standings for each conference, you can see the disparity in the number of games played by each team. Example: in the B1G, the number of games played varied from 18 (Penn State) to 24 (Wisconsin and Notre Dame).

BADgers add a goalie--- Gophers put 5 past him when they played this year... Get used to it.

Consistent if nothing else. 0.932 save percentage every year in college.

One of Moe or Rowe have to be leaving...

The BADgers tried this a few years ago by bringing in a good goalie from out east ( Hayton ?) and he was not good. They are a mess. Logic would say Rowe would leave since Moe took over in the 2nd half. But, Moe can't be too happy if they are bringing in a guy who could split time with him next year or 2 if Moe uses a covid year.

Might want to look for a new head coach in the portal..

u-wi should change its name to spare parts.

LOL. Wisconsin is the miscellaneous drawer of college hockey.

Slava Demin back in the portal. Looks like he was a healthy scratch for UMass in the back third of the year.

This is honestly how MSU should build their team. Just become the ECAC, CCHA, Atlantic all-stars, cuz whatever they’re doing now isn’t working.

It's interesting that now with both backups going to the portal Western Michigan doesn't have a goalie on roster anymore.

Ty Smilanic will be a get for someone.
