i think goligoski will stay (hoping too),formerallstar wrote:I hope Goligoski stays. He would be a huge asset to next years squad.
I myself believe that Johnson and Okposo will be out of there.
As for next year they will be a top 10 team but i don't think they will be as good as they were the first half of this season.
I will predict a 3rd place finish in the WCHA season
I will predict a 3rd place finish in the Final Five
They will lose in a regional final in the NCAA's
boblee, why you gotta crush a guy's spirits like that lol. who drafted him??boblee wrote:My sources say the chance of Goligoski staying is about 20%.
agreed, although i think johnson would have been much improved this upcoming yearState Champ 97 wrote:I don't think the Gophs will miss johnson much if he leaves. They will miss Okoposo if he does. Briggs will be easily replaced.

Minnesota got a commitment from Sioux Falls defenseman Stu Bickel. Bickel isn't what you'd typically expect from a Minnesota recruit since he is already 20 years old, and not necessarily what you'd consider a superstar, but I think it's a very smart move by the Gopher staff. Minnesota could lose Erik Johnson and Alex Goligoski this summer, along with the graduation of Mike Vannelli, meaning there is a lot of available ice time for next year on the blueline. Minnesota isn't the type of program where they can have a have "down year," so they needed someone that can step in and play right away without too much of a learning curve, and I don't think they'd be able to find an 18 year old kid that could do that, especially at this stage of the recruiting process.gtimehocey wrote:r u positive on Stu Bickel?Blue Breeze wrote:I would imagine it plays out something like this:

Yes. Refer to what puckoff linked. Bickel is coming in next year barring something unforeseen.gtimehocey wrote:r u positive on Stu Bickel?Blue Breeze wrote:I would imagine it plays out something like this:

who are you talking about??? bickel?gtimehocey wrote:yes i used to go to some of his game when he play in the nahl with owattona and he never really impressed me that much their was 2 or 3 D that were better then him
Yes he would be. I see the Blues offered him 850,000. Seems a little low for number 1 overall. Although it beats the crap out of what I make.puckoff077 wrote:agreed, although i think johnson would have been much improved this upcoming yearState Champ 97 wrote:I don't think the Gophs will miss johnson much if he leaves.

isn't that all they can offer rookies? i thought that is all they could give after the lockout.State Champ 97 wrote:Yes he would be. I see the Blues offered him 850,000.
