Not sure you can call it a scoop when he said like "big commit coming"

That's the kind of vague stuff where if it hits you can pretend to be smart and if not, you can still pretend you were right

You sound jealous, Chill. That guys Cooley scoop was grade A. Your scoop today has not failed just yet. Keep the faith.

I believe that was sarcasm and more in reference to the Leafs playing a terrible game against Buffalo.

Makes sense. I thought it was an "inside report" about how a meeting with him went. Don't follow scores.

Leafs twitter is funny.

Although not as funny as the untentional alerts I'm getting about the Ben Meyers Film Festival.

With how quiet things have been over the last 24 plus hours I’m starting to get more nervous on who signs and who comes back. Is the fact that it’s taking this long for the drafted guys to sign somewhere a good or a bad sign? Or is not really an indication either way?

I guess this is one scenario where not caring whatsoever about the NHL other than Gophers making it and doing well is good

Congrats to Ben. I wish him the best and hope he kills it in the NHL. Always nice to have that many interested after going undrafted.

Congrats to Ben. I may not cheer for him given the new team, but that's no reason to actively hate him for leaving and taking advantage of his position. He may not be playoff eligible this year, but I think it's clear he's ready for the NHL, and he was lucky enough to get to choose his landing spot.

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

No. I'm a bigger Gopher fan than a Wild fan. But, he's not a Gopher anymore, and he now plays for the (current) biggest rival of the Wild. I still offer my congratulations, but slightly begrudgingly.

If [mention]Cowgirl[/mention] buys a Ben Meyers Colorado Avs jersey this will guarantee he will quickly be on another team. 😀

Jeez people, I don’t like the Avs either but you can’t blame a guy for going to stellar franchise. He doesn’t owe anything to Minnesota anymore. Good luck to Ben! Thanks for the memories.

Also, we have bigger fish to fry. Let’s focus on guys that might actually come back and how that will impact the team for next year.

Screw the Avs, congrats to Meyers on starting his professional career and thanks for all he did for us, but screw him too.

I am a firmer believer that when Gopher players have success in the NHL it helps Gopher recruiting. Go Ben Meyers!!! Score a hundred goals a season and lose every game against the Wild. #PerfectScenario

Maybe I should trade it for my Fiala jersey- if I sell that one does he stay with the Wild, and then Ben comes too?

Bingo.

Kids watch the NHL more than college hockey and you want the Gophers mentioned as much as possible.

I couldn't care less... He was a Gopher and will always be a Gopher. Just like when if a wisconSIN or UND player plays for the Wild. As long as he makes the team better... I couldn't care less if he was a BADger or F'ing Hawk.

Keep your stick on the ice...
