    UND men's hockey: On the way out?
    Toews set to go to major juniors
    Sophomore forward David Toews will leave UND for Canadian major juniors, sources say. No move has been announced as of yet, but it is expected to come within a couple of weeks.

    Probably the best move for Toews, development-wise. He'll get more playing time. It'll suck to see him go but I wish him the best whether he stays or leaves.

      That's surprising to me. I would have expected Toews to fill a bigger offensive role next season as a junior, and then an even bigger role the following year as a senior with the forward class that graduates.
      He never really got completely going in a Sioux uniform though, despite showing signs of great play at times.
      I hope he does well in whatever league he plays in next season, but I'd still like to see him in a Sioux uni.

      Now we just wait for confirmation on this and Fienhage...

            To be fair, that 2nd one is under the Denver Airport. But yeah everything else is right.

                Neither does Dave but obviously he hasn't consulted JDr1 yet this off season so he doesn't know that Marto is going to be playing left wing with Tate Maris centering the line.

                  So now does Davidson just take Toews forward spot, or does Hakstol bring in one of the forward recruits to take his spot?
                  Rodwell is already coming in, but now we are replacing VV, Zajac, and Toews.
                  Either Nelson, St. Clair, or Mattson would appear to be the ones most likely to come in. Maybe even Ryan Walters who decommited from UMN.

                    From the UND blog:

                    UND's recruits ranked second

                    Red Line Report has ranked college recruiting classes and UND has checked in at No. 2 behind only Minnesota.

                    The rankings were reported in the Wisconsin State Journal.

                    1. Minnesota
                    2. UND
                    3. Boston University
                    4. Denver
                    5. Notre Dame
                    6. Boston College
                    7. Colorado College
                    8. Wisconsin
                    9. Minnesota-Duluth

                    It's a little surprising that UND's class was ranked this high being that we only know of three guys who are coming at this point. And with all of UND's returning players, the rookies won't need to make major impacts for the Sioux to be successful.

                    Minnesota and Denver, on the other hand, will look for significant contributions from their large rookie classes.

                    As always, the Herald will preview the incoming recruits in the annual college hockey preview section. We've correctly picked the last two WCHA rookies of the year, calculating projected impact, rather than NHL potential (which is what Red Line Report uses as criteria).
                    Pretty crazy that UND is that high despite only really knowing so far that Forbort, Simpson, and Rodwell are coming in for sure (by comparison, UMN has over 10 recruits coming in next season). Red Line ranks solely based on NHL potential though, and both Forbort and Simpson are way up there.

                      Lets hope Toews doesn't leave.

                      I suspect that if David does leave the team another recruit will be brought in, if for no other reason than to protect the team in the event of a rash of injuries.

                      Given the situation on D with the team this coming season, I also wouldn't be surprised to see a few games where Hak dresses only 11 forwards and 7 D, letting the youngsters on defense pick up some playing time and rotating the two fourth line forwards in here and there.
                      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                          Evidently they're not even on the list.
                          Must be some sort of mistake.

                            I bet Michigan fell from #1 to #11 once goalie World Jr. goalie Jack Campbell decommitted from Michigan and signed with Windsor of the OHL.

                            I think Michigan was rated highly a year or so ago, but with the loss of Campbell and lack of development in NTDP players Moffatt, Fallon and Clare, Michigan did not get ranked.

                              Michigan's class being #1 is a given. Therefore, they only bother to rank everyone else.

                                From Schlossman's twitter:

                                Speculation after Force game is that St. Clair won't be back... which would mean he's coming to UND. Haven't confirmed that yet, though.
                                That would surprise me if St. Clair is the other forward recruit to come in.
                                Both him and Danny Mattson seem like they could use another year in the USHL (going off of their stat lines).
                                We know that Rodwell is coming in already. Most people seemed to think that Nelson would be the one coming in early if needed...pull an Oshie and coming straight from MN HS.
