Going to be joining Brent Gates with the Golden Gophers next season.

That's a pretty good wrister right there...

I like this pick, certainly more than our second rounder. I think there is a decent amount of goal scoring upside here.

I already posted this in another thread, but here's a lengthy text about McLaughlin and his background.

 

[Goose of Reason]

McLaughlin's shot is awesome. This could be a very good pick for us.

Hi Guys, just curious any hype or projections on this kid?

Imho a top 6 player if everything works out. The talent is there but he has a long way to go, especially physically. He may not be a driver of the line but he is a good complementary player.

A lot of similarities to Troy Terry. Not as versatile and flashy but imho a prospect to keep an eye on. He also had a strong showing in the summer showcase.

Anyone have any info on how Blake is doing? Or does he have limited potential? We lose his rights next year through what CapFriendly is saying.

Will return to Universität for his senior year. Has lots of talent but lacks consistancy.
