I guess I should have phrased that differently by asking who will be on the roster next year of these guys (among the ones who are elligible). I'm sure the older Reillys won't want to stay in the USHL for another year but I really don't see any need for them. I also don't know how Vienneau will fit in given his sub-par numbers in juniors this year. It's nice to see they're getting some bigger bodies next year though and Marshall should fill the Wehrs/Ness small, puck moving D man role pretty nicely.

Marshall will probably have to step in and contribute right away as a freshmen. The defensemen are looking really slim right now. I think they have one or two junior defensemen, and the rest being Sophomores and freshmen... I also think Rau and Ambroz will be on the team for sure. Ambroz, has already had multiple seasons in juniors, and will only be 18 next year. If anything, the Gopher's should have a little bit more size to next season's roster. One of the many things Lucia has been criticized for.

Need some bigger recruits especially on defense unless we want to keep getting physically pounded on. Most solid d is alt.

I'd say it's 50/50 on Ambroz. If he goes real high in the draft, that team might want him to take a different route?
