Ryan Flynn, possibly the best remaining forward recruit for the class of 2006 has made his decision and chosen to play for the University of Minnesota.
While there were many rumors about where Flynn would go, including Wisconsin and out East, Flynn chose to stay close to home. Some people felt that Flynn had always wanted to play in the WCHA, and that if the Gophers came through with a scholarship offer, he would play there. It looks like those people were right.
For the Gophers, they land a suitable replacement after losing superstar forward Peter Mueller to the WHL. Flynn has the size of Mueller, and while he doesn't quite have the scoring ability, he can still put the puck in the net.
The attention of the recruiting world will now turn to Mike Forney, who is probably the top available forward left. With Minnesota landing Flynn, it's probably less likely that they'll get Forney, which might leave the door open for North Dakota.
