I'd turn that probably into a maybe. This is Big 10 hockey and the D that are coming in are true freshmen. That's a big jump. It's also been the continuing problem with the gophers as older teams, like Mankato and Yale to name a couple, beat them last year. Good players, yes. Ready for D1 hockey, we'll see. I'm surprised the Gophs don't look at some older players and stop granting these dads their wish by bringing in their sons as true freshmen. They sign several top players and it ends up hurting them. Interesting approach. The forwards are good but also all true freshmen except for Kloos. In today's D1 hockey that's very unusual.Looks like they have 9 D. If you bring in 3 freshmen, you are probably going to play them.
Who am I missing? I keep counting 8 D.mulefarm wrote:Looks like they have 9 D. If you bring in 3 freshmen, you are probably going to play them. Which returning D are healthy scratches of play on the 4th line?
My guess is Vannelli and Bischoff, but no one will know until after the early practices. As I said, Holl and Parenteau both skated forward last season and you might see one of them rotated up again to get one of the frosh in the line-up.mulefarm wrote:You're right, only 8.

I heard Lucia say last year that Holl will be one of his d this year. I doubt you will see him playing forward.C-dad wrote:My guess is Vannelli and Bischoff, but no one will know until after the early practices.
