If Kessel stays.
EJ will have Kessel, Okposo, Stoa and Wheeler.
JJ will have Hensick, Porter, Cogliano and Lewis.
To name a few. Both teams should be even. But like in many years. MI will be ranked number 1. They will come to Mariucci and loose that ranking.
Should be a nice looking team at the UM: EJ, Kessel, Okposo, Wheeler, etc..
Per old man Sid's column today:
Kessel returning
Gophers assistant hockey coach Mike Guentzel said he was told this week by Phil Kessel that the highly touted Gophers freshman will not sign with the Bruins after being drafted in the first round, but will return to Minnesota for his sophomore year.
Those close to the Kessel family had been convinced the Madison, Wis., native would wind up turning pro, but apparently the Bruins would like to see him play another year of college hockey.
"I don't think any freshman hockey player we have had in recent years had the pressure that Kessel had this past season," Guentzel said. "He is an outstanding hockey player."
