This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Former NTDP and played w/ Slaggert on 2021 USA Gold WJC team by ndmd99

Don't know much about him, but given the above I'm guessing (hoping) his speed/skating isn't a problem (which was an issue with last year's transfers).

And maybe he can start prepping the team/recruits for Leaman taking over the reins after JJ decides it's time to ride off into the sunset.

It's an interesting move roster-wise. As it currently strands, he makes 10F for next year (Slaggert, both Janickes, Carpenter, Strand, Bjork, Silianoff, Jovanovic, Williams, and Moynihan). So looks like there are 5 spots for freshmen.

I'd say Knuble/Ali/Fleming are locks. I've seen both 23/24 and 24/25 predictions for Danny Nelson, but he signed his LOI last Fall which makes me think he's coming next year. Which leaves 1 remaining spot.

Davis may be the fifth. Think he ages out of juniors. And I don't recall ever seeing an announcement of him signing a LOI (which makes me think he might be a walk-on and needed to balance out scholarships limits).

Graham Slaggert spent a year in USHL after the NTDP. Think Carter could benefit from the same path to see some better ice time.

I watched a couple Lincoln Star games recently. Thought Larrigan looked better than his scoring numbers appear. He has speed. And he and Ali are the top 2 forwards on Lincoln's USHL-best PK unit. So he could probably help us next year, but looking like the decision was to have him stay in USHL 1 more year and bring in Moynihan instead.
