Gardiner in front of Ness... WOW!
From an NHL perspective, certainly.
toews still looked at as a first rounder? everything ive read has him as a middle late first rounder, thanks
Somewhat surprised to see Nick Larson (Waterloo) ranked so high or higher than some other USHL prospects as it doesn't seem like he has overly impressive stats and is on a team that seems to struggle offensively. He does seem to have decent size which I would guess is still a big attraction to NHL scouts. Not saying he isn't a good player - just surprised by the higher ranking.
NHL and NCAA perspective, Ness has a girls shot.
Minnesota really wanted Gardiner and Kristo (think he is from Eden Prairie). Nice going Lucia. Stepan (Hastings) also turned down Minnesota.
chre, I don't know why your so surprised, Gardiner is ranked 26th in Mckeens as well.
Ness does have a muffin gun of a shot, no doubt about that. However, it might not hinder his NCAA effectiveness as much as the Gopher haters would like it to.
Anon. 405: Kristo had family ties to NoDak and Stepan has family ties to the BADgers. Don't know about Gardiner but all you need to do is check Heisenberg's site to see that Coach Lucia has a lot of high end talent committed.
What's your problem anyway? These rankings pertain to how the PRO's view these kids.
How many of these players has YOUR favorite coach gotten commitments from? Why hasn't he done better?
What family ties does Kristo have with the Sioux and Stepan with the Badgers?
Kristo's father is good friends with the executive vice president of UND's alumni association according to Brad Schlossman of the Grand Forks Herald. Stepan's dad went to high school with Tom Sagissor at Hastings. Sagissor is the biggest Badger pimp of all time.
Stepan's dad was a Hastings high school teammate of former BADger Tom Sagissor and Kristo's NoDak ties can be found at: http://gfheraldsiouxhockey.blogspot.com/2006/08/sioux-nab-top-prospect.html.
Not that tough to find.
LOL, yeah that's why Stepan chose Wisconsin over Minnesota, because his dad played HS hockey with the former Badger announcer. You know how silly this sounds!!! Last time I checked Sagisoor had nothing to do with the coaching staff. Every other year kids are turning down daddy's alumni, but yeah since daddy played hs hockey in the 80's with a future Badger that put UW over the top over UM.
Excuses, Excuses Minny fans, this might be the worst of them ever.
Siouxper,
Not an excuse, more like a pluasible explanation. Do you know if Stepan was in fact offered an opportunity to play at Minnesota? Or are you just going by what an anonymous poster on this site said?
The BADgers over the years have successfully recruited Minnesota kids. You can't expect to get them all. Sag's may not be part of the coaching staff but he is a Badger that was part of a National Championship winning team. To suggest that that holds no influence is what is laughable on your part.
What is your excuse Siouxper, for not getting Ness? He had real family ties to NoDak yet rejected them.
Ness has family ties to Minnesota. His parents live there.
Good one. But Aaron Ness's Dad did play for the Fighting Sioux.
I saw an interview with Aaron on the FSN broadcast on Wednesday. He said one of the biggest reasons, in addition to Gopher Hockey tradition, for choosing the Gophers was the opportunity to go live in Minneapolis and go to school at the U.
Nice backhand there. The Ralph is nice but what else is there to do in Grand Forks? Get stuck in an elavator on Saturday night? TJ Oshie, the Wizinator.
Souixper,
first of all roseau and warroad kids never go MN they are always taken by nodak and now st cloud is taking them so who are the souix goin to start getting their players
And Anon 405 lucia doesnt need Gardiner, Kristo, and Stepan when you have the likes of jordan Schroeder and Co. headed to MN next year, Schroeder will be a top 10 NHL pick when he is eligible. And why couldnt wisc keep nate condon in state?
