Any thoughts on possible lineups for the Traverse City Prospect Tournament next weekend?

Nice to see Cody Corbett on the roster again. I hope Iowa signs him.

 

[Aapo]

I'd say only two Minnesota drafted players on the D is a bit low? In fact the whole Minnesota roster doesn't look nearly as good as some of the others...

[thestonedkoala]

Yeah. We've been drafting a lot out of the NCAA, plus we've been nabbing character guys like Bus and Gabriel. Not necessarily guys that can hit the net but can hit someone else.

The long Bjorn Krupp saga is finally over. On the plus side, this opens a needed contract spot given Minnesota is up against the 50 contract limit. On the down side, ummmmm...

 

[rynryn]

been told we expect other teams (esp. Blues) to play us rough.

 

[GopherState]

Appears Avery Peterson has committed to Nebraska-Omaha.

 

[Jarick]

Uno!

Thank God! I can finally get off these pins and needles.

Appears Avery Peterson has committed to Nebraska-Omaha.

Dean Blais is such a good coach that he can even make Omaha, NE a sexy destination for top recruits. He's building a very good program down there.

Not yet he hasn't. He is getting some good players but they have fallen apart in March the last 3 seasons and haven't made any postseason noise since he has been there.

Look at his recruits. Guentzel, Peterson, Snuggerud, Randolph and Spinner are all very good young players joining the program. With the exception of Guentzel, the rest won't be on board until next season...but they are all very highly touted youngsters. I might be a little biased because I've been following these kids since they were Squirt-age (played with or against my son).

He has 6 players on his roster for this season that have been drafted. Not bad for a program that attained D-1 status just 5 years ago.

Omaha has been D1 in hockey since 1999. And I didn't say they don't have some good players, but having good players doesn't make you a good program. Winning does and in his time there, they have not done that, especially down the stretch when in matters.

You're right...my bad. Dean Blais has been there for 5 years.

Honestly I think Brodin's my favorite player on the Wild. It might not be close at all.

 

[Jaykay]

Honestly I think Brodin's my favorite player on the Wild. It might not be close at all.

For me:

1A. Brodin
1B. Suter

 

[tyratoku]

For me:

1. Suter
2. Coyle
3. Brodin

Coyle probably because I've met him and he signed my jersey. Seems like a nice guy.

 

[Lapa]

For me:

1. Koivu/Granlund
2. Parise
3. Brodin/Suter

HM to Rupp. For some reason I really like the guy.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

For me:

1. Dylan
2. Dylan
3. Dylan
4. Dylan
5. Dylan

Because he spits hot fire.

 

[Gaps]

For me:

1. Koivu/Granlund
2. Parise
3. Brodin/Suter

HM to Rupp. For some reason I really like the guy.

This is pretty close to my list. My HM goes to Konopka though, because he has a cute bunny.

 

[Puhis]

My list?

1. Spurgeon
2. Koivu
3. Mitchell/Veilleux

HM to Konopka. His off-ice behavior, bunny and general awesomeness make up for his ineffectiveness on-ice.

 

[keppel146]

1. brodin
2.parise/coyle
3.koivu
maybe nino, once I see him play
