  • Minnesota Gophers Off Season Thread 2015

    So far, the Gophers have lost five forwards, three defensemen and a goalie from last season (Fasching?). IMO Schierhorn has a good shot at replacing Wilcox. Other incoming recruits are Romanko (F), Ramsey (F), Seeler (D), Novak (F), Sheehy (F), Gates (F), and Hults (F). Most are older players with the exception of Gates (18) and Novak (18).

    Questions:

    1) Which upperclassmen will deliver consistent scoring? C. Reilly, Kloos, ?
    2) Which players on D have any offensive potential? Bischoff, Glover, ?
    3) Will Cammarata improve his game? Are Cammarata and Kloos joined at the hip for another season?
    4) Will goaltending take a nosedive in performance compared to Wilcox?
    5) Can this team win the B1G for the third season in a row?

    Re: Minnesota Gophers Off Season Thread 2015

    An incoming recruit that has the potential to make an immediate impact on offense for the Gophers next season is Darian Romanko (20 yo, 6'1, 195). Last season for the Minnesota Wilderness in 54 games tallied 32 goals and 27 assists. My power line next season: Romanko/Kloos/Fasching?. His coach for the last two seasons has been Gopher great Corey Millen.

    He is a gifted goal scorer, so when he shoots the puck he is very effective,” said Wilderness head coach Corey Millen. “I think once he got used to the first year rigors of playing junior hockey, he really showed that he was a guy who developed into a very good junior player very quickly and hopefully if he keeps developing at the pace he his, that will lead to an opportunity to play in the NCAA. He is a great finisher and understands how to step up at the right times. His progress as a hockey player has been fun to watch."”

      The defensive additions still need to be fully sorted out. A la Sadek and Zuhlsdorf (who would need to accelerate). Might add a low/no scholarship D late to create some depth as an alternative.

      Hearing that we could add another player up front but wasn't given a lot of detail on the guy (other than background) and that he's a high caliber type. If that pans out, it would be pretty interesting.

            Only so many high caliber out there for next year, depending on how you define it.

              I am only repeating what I am told on this one... and the problem is you are looking at it as if it had to be a US/Canada kid.

                          Mariucci should invest in something similar to THIS. If I had my druthers it'd have to be a M20A1 Super-Bazooka antitank rocket launcher to propel a Subway sandwich with extra grilled chicken breast.

                            Craig threw it together in a hurry and doesn't tend to follow the recruit stuff as much so it doesn't get updated a lot.

                            We'll be scratching Hults off of the list from what I'm hearing.
