Transfer Portal

College sports are no longer college sports. Paying athletes, and now free agency. Call me old fashioned but I don’t like it.

May I join you in the Old Fashioned club?

Money rules the world and that’s just the way it is. We are lucky we support a team that will benefit, whereas the Gopher football and basketball fans might not be as lucky.

Top 5 in the portal:

Ashton Calder, jr, Lake Superior State, 16-13–29

Cameron Wright, sr, Bowling Green, 13-16–29

Pierre-Luc (Pete) Veillette, jr, Lake Superior State, 13-14–27

Oliver Chau, sr, UMass, 5-22–27

Grant Cruikshank, jr, Colorado College, 8-2–10

With Koepke, Jackson Cates & most likely Noah Cates signing early, besides Casey Gilling of Miami, I’d expect tUMD to be active in the transfer portal, along with bringing back some bonus year seniors ☝️

Updated Top 5 in the portal (my opinion):

Ashton Calder, jr, Lake Superior State, 16-13–29

Cameron Wright, sr, Bowling Green, 13-16–29

Pierre-Luc (Pete) Veillette, jr, Lake Superior State, 13-14–27

Grant Cruikshank, jr, Colorado College, 8-2–10

Harrison Blaisdell, soph, North Dakota (WPG), 0-4–4

RYAN BRUSHETT University of Nebraska Omaha

I think we’ll get Cruikshank

Would be great, but where does the feeling come from? My top 5 is not in any order and he is likely the best player in there right now.

He just announced Gophers on Instagram!

Always liked his game. Been watching condensed CC games on NCHC app. He’ll bring a lot, his shot is very good. Don’t think we’ll see him over pass too often

Projected roster has been updated…

Is Knies getting pushed back, as I don’t see him on the list?

MASON PALMER Northern Michigan University

TREVOR ZINS St. Cloud State University

ETHAN GAUER Bemidji State University

DARBY GULA Bemidji State University

Is there any word on Calder from LSSU? He’s a solid player too

Whioux will be after him now that we got GC

I thought Burke would go home to AZ St.

Good weather and amazing talent around campus but some guys might not want to play for that douche

Or maybe that douche doesn’t want some guys playing for him? 🤔

He’ll certainly play a lot on that squad

Because they got a kid from Lake State?

STANISLAV DEMIN University of Denver

GRIFFIN LOUGHRAN Northern Michigan University

Because they got a kid from Lake State?

They picked up two of the top five returning goal scorers, a proven goalie, and a solid defensemen. They bring back probably the best d-man in the nation. They have been by far the transfer portal winner and they might not be done.

They’ll be up in the top five again.

I mean just cause they’re in the market for way more players doesn’t make them the winner. They had a lot more to replace than us. We only had one acquisition to make and we arguably made the best single grab yet. Everyone in the nation, especially Whioux fans, were salivating over Cruikshank.

Also I don’t think they will be top 5 next year but our opinions on next year in April really mean squat.

Where did I compare them to us? We will be contenders, too. They are the winners of the portal just because they got more good players and other teams only needed one or two. It’s like how the recruiting rankings for college football gets skewed by having more commitments. That doesn’t make us any less of a contender, and I’ve been saying UMN and UM are the top two contenders.

NCAA Hockey Transfer Portal Chaos For Lake Superior State & The CCHA

NCAA Hockey Transfer Portal Chaos For Lake Superior State & The CCHA

As a fan of one of these smaller programs, I think this gnashing of teeth is a bit ridiculous. The vast majority of these guys that are moving are seniors that wouldn’t have been there next year anyway if the COVID year didn’t exist. From what I’ve seen most of these guys are being forced to go from their programs, not because they aren’t good enough, but because they would have to potentially push back recruits coming in. And some of those recruits coming in are aging out of junior. Those schools that have older teams boxed themselves in on this (granted it was unexpected and you can’t plan for an NCAA reaction to a pandemic) and they could have kept those guys if they wanted to but their schools said no. This is a temporary problem and won’t be happening in a couple years.

Slava Demin of DU chose the national champs.

He scored 23 goals as a sophomore in 2019-20. Also has a history of piling up penalty minutes.

I don’t think there will be, because most have committed already. I don’t know the exact details about if someone were to sign if they would have to sit out or not. It would be a case by case basis.

Leibold is interesting entering the portal at this point in the sesason. He currently leading their team in points 5-10-15 in 16 gp.

Along with players not getting much playing time, you’ll get good players having the have a chance of moving to a team with a better chance of making the tournament.

He won’t be eligible to play for another team this year if that’s what you’re saying. But if you’re saying for the future, yes I agree.
