    Re: Minnesota Gophers Offesason Thread: Back To 1896

    good luck to nick. people can say what they want but its not often a kid turns down a pro contract two years in a row for his college program. he gave the team what he had and was part of turning this program back around.. finishing the back to back macnaughton cups

    my projected lineup assuming haula leaves.. and alt as well (complete guess on my part). still not sure whether lettieri should come in.. i think he is ready but they still have plenty of guys fit for top 6 rolls and also plenty of guys fit for bottom 6 rolls

    warning rau fasching (warning and rau could do some damage. a big body in fasching and he moves well for his size)
    cammarata condon serratore (gonna want a finisher next to cammarata and then serratore will bring a physical presence)
    guertler boyd kloos (boyd and guertler are hard to play against. kloos brings some scoring to the 3rd line)
    michaelson horn r reilly (guys that i think bring great energy and id like to see in the lineup. don evidently doesnt as these three sat most of the year)

      I'm pretty sure C Reilly will be in the lineup next year for sure, he was injured all year or he would have played this year. He also will be an older "Freshman" who can score.

        I agree with you (jerryj) about Alt leaving. I also think Condon, Ambroz and Rau are potentially going to leave early this year as well. Any others with the possibility to leave?

          Yeah, he's actually suiting up for Vancouver. Even got an opportunity in a shootout against the Hawks.


          On a side, I really enjoy seeing the guys from the 2010 WJC playing all over the NHL now and even a few still in the NCAAs. That was such a great tourney and a fun team to root for. That win against Canada is up there with my favorite hockey games.

            I would be really surprised if anyone other than Haula leaves to be honest, but you never know these days.

              Do you really think Ambroz wants to ride busses in the CHL next year? I doubt he'll make the A.

                Good post sir.

                First, I'd like to see just who we can pair with Cammarata to get him lighting the lamp. Will Condon and Serratore do it? Perhaps.

                If nothing else, I might be inclined to switch Kloos and Fasching. Sure Fasching is a good compliment with size...but I'd like to see if we up the goal contribution for Kloos.
                Go Gophers!

                  Yeah no way Ambroz leaves, highly doubt Alt either, I think after Haula leaves (unless he tries the FA route and stays) everyone else stays. This team should then have a very solid D core and goaltending with some veteran offense mixed in with young raw offense.

                    Let me start by saying I was really hoping we might meet next week. The banter going back and forth since January has been fun and I wanted a chance to prove it on the ice. Oh well, there's always next year...

                    Anyway, the main reason for my post is to ask the Gopher fans if they realize there's a connection between our two teams? Hartzell's dad played for Herb Brooks and was a Gopher captain. I'm not sure if any of you knew that and I haven't seen it mentioned so I thought I'd point it out. Small world...

                    Best of luck next year. I'm sure we'll be meeting on the ice at some point.

                      If you have been a Gopher fan back to the Brooks years, you recognized the name. Since he had WBL listed as a home town and he didn't play high school around here, I checked out his pedigree several months back.

                        I just don't think Ambroz is a good fit for the college game, and he may decide the Minors is a better path to the NHL.

                          I wasn't implying that guys this year had 1 foot in, if that's how you took it.
                          I was just saying if you have to work on and convince a guy to stay, that's the risk you run.

                            Rau isn't going anywhere. Haula should be your last early departure.
