    Re: University of North Dakota 2014 Off-Season

    While it sucks that Mantha looks to be going to the OHL, he has handled this better than JT Miller who left UND in a real tough position as Mantha isn't/wasn't set to come to UND for another year. For people who are upset with Mantha, they should be equally upset with Hakstol if he decides players like Jack Rowe and Charlie Pelnik "no longer fit" with UND and rescinds his offer to them.

      Every player, no matter how good he is, takes a look at the depth ahead of him when he is about to join a new team. No matter what the sport. I don't care how good a defenseman he turns out to be. The UND defense this year and next will be tough to crack, especially in terms of quality playing time.

      If anything it possibly shows a miscalculation on the part of the coaching staff as to how long certain kids would stay, and maybe even more so, how well the three young defensemen last year played. Add to that the addition of the Poolman kid who had a great year in the USHL, tough for an 18 year old to see where he fits into the big picture.
      Animosity is too strong a word because there is no ill-will or hatred for these kids. I am happy that Mantha is doing this now and not pulling a JT Miller. What Tambellini did was pretty bush-league... do you think UND players have any animosity directed towards Adam? It's unfortunate that the word commitment in college hockey doesn't mean much to these kids. Seth Jones did it the right way...

        Folks seem to be at peace with these guys' decommits. I think fans should be upset with a player that backs out of a commit for flimsy reasons (whether his name is Mantha or Milano).

        And frankly more upset than I expect they will be at me for making this comment.

                I remember after Tambo made his decision to bolt on his teammates, you could tell from the UND players’ body language that they really didn’t care. It was like whatever dude.

                  It would be nice to Greene bring the Cup to Grand Forks.

                          Feature on Nick Schmaltz growing up dreaming of playing for North Dakota and Chicago Blackhawks. Sounds like he plans on playing two or three years in GF.

                            62 incoming and current College Hockey Players ( were drafted during the 2014 NHL Draft)

                            Boston College with two in the first round. I can't wait for Nick Schmaltz to put on the UND uni.
