Hayden Reid off to Canadian Major Juniors. In years past this obviously would signal a “decommitment” but Reid will remain committed to the U

Is this good, bad, or neutral for the Gophers in terms of Reid’s performance and development?  Hasn’t put up numbers in USHL.

Always thought he was a Tommy Serratore type of a guy.  Loved Tommy on the Gophers but wouldn’t worry too much about this scenario.  Who knows if he ends up here or not.

@mikeeruzione11 I’m not convinced Moore has a brighter future than Clark.

Moore still runs into coverage and loses possession and his passing skills and vision are just okay.

I'll think he'll be in the NHL but his hockey skills don't measure up to his speed.

Im not convinced he will play in the NHL, but the more I watch Clark, the better I think his chances are.

This might well be the case, who knows. Projecting players is hard, but for Clark, I like the cut of his jib.🙂

Moore is a beautiful skater, but his hands, vision & finishing ability will likely never compare to Cooley. Especially since he’s a Wild draft pick, I really like Clark’s jump this year, I think he’s been a key contributor & appears to have that “clutch” gene (he clearly did last night). The kid from Dodge County has also taken a big jump!

Looks like Mooney is still injured but Mason Moe makes the U18 team for the Five Nations tournament in Czechia starting today.

From what I can glean, if we see Mooney before Valentines day I’d be surprised

Would that indicate he accelerated schooling as well? There is a lot going on here.

Sounds like he is accelerating schooling, playing his “senior year” at Eden Prairie this winter. One year of juniors, then on campus fall of 2026. Plan for now at least.

Rombach and Moe make Team USA for the World Junior A Challenege, along with John Stout for potential recruits.

Grimes seems to be a player those who love to grind hockey tape are high on. Moves well. Heady player who makes the right first pass. Unlike to provide a ton of offense but can contribute there. Seems like an underrated recruit; maybe a Ryan Johnson type on the high-end.

I’ve been really high on Grimes in the viewings I’ve had of him. I think the Ryan Johnson comparisons aren’t far off, with a little more offensive flare. Definitely someone I’d project to come in 2026-27 at 19 years old instead of 2025-26 at 18. Same goes for Rombach

Looks like Moore and Grimes have signed their NLI.

Friendly reminder that just because they sign their NLI does not guarantee that they’re coming in next season (mostly talking about Grimes here)

Most recent example Beckett Hendrickson

Post originally said Jackson Nevers traded to Madison. Looks like they posted it officially today. Officially official. Jackson Nevers traded from Waterloo to Madison, joins Moe.

Sioux Falls sends out a PP unit of 5 defensemen. One of the craziest things I’ve ever heard of. Anyways Grimes scores so I guess it works😄

Did they play 5 forwards on the first even strength shift after the power play since all their defensemen had just been on the ice? 🤣

Unexpected but welcome news. Good for him as he looks to cement his draft stock as well.

Just a reminder that the 2 games will be broadcast on NHL Network @  6pm on Tuesday and Weds.

Kvasnicka, Mooney and Phillips are playing for USA.

I’d bet ya anything someone from the coaching staff is in the building for this one. I believe Gordo is the one that travels the most.

A lot of stars on that CHL team that just became eligible this month.

You would think the CHL team is the one that has been playing together for 2 years.  This USA team stinks.

Stole the words right out of my mouth. The NTDP team looks like the all-star team of individuals and the CHL team looks like the well oiled machine.

Mooney looks like a more streamlined version of Cooley. Cooley always looked for the “sexy”  play (he was so dang good it worked a lot of the time), Mooney looks for the RIGHT play. And he has Cooley level skill to boot.

Dirtbag hit by #77.  Mooney was nowhere near playing the puck.
