    Well we are starting to see players leaving. When does Bjug's leave? Today, tomorrow, next week?

    Slap Shot - 444 might want to consider a restraining order.
    dggoddard - Minnesota is THE ELITE Program in all of college hockey.
    wasmania - you have to be the very best to get ice time with the great gophers!

        I'd be willing to place a bet against the grapevine.

          Kinda funny that Budish said he was staying and then signed a deal.

                In the Schmidt article, tDon was quoted as saying that he wouldn't try to talk anyone into staying. I was wondering about this and I suppose it's because you're faced with one of two options:
                A) Try and talk your players into staying for four years and become known as someone who doesn't fully support college hockey as a development for the pros thus losing out on top-quality players who don't want that pressure
                B) Emphasize that it's their choice completely and get those top-drafted players for at least a year or three, hope they stay, but be SOL when they leave, while replacing them with a new player for two or three years

                Which is better?

                  I think he made it perfectly clear why he wasn't going to try to talk anyone in to staying. He wants the guys who stay to have two feet here, not one here and one in the NHL.
                  That seems incredibly sensible to me.

                      The last guy we had with one foot in was Schroeder.

                        And now it's official Bjugs signed with the Florida Panthers.

                        Good luck to Nick in the NHL!

                          Is Schroeder in the bigs? Trying to imagine him lining up against typical NHL size and strength.

                            Love Bjugs as the most talented guy at the U in years. Yet I think Nick will end up being a role player. We've seen close to a Vanek level of talent, but nowhere near a Vanek level of fire.
                            Go Gophers!

                              Playing OOP at center wasn't the best for his development. Put him on the wing with a NHL center (prolly Mueller) his size, strength and quick release will be money.
