Good summary guys. Will be interesting to see what the team looks like in the first half. They're gonna be rolling a ton of new guys at forward, so my initial thought is the team might be mediocre in the 1st half but get to a 2-3 seed by the end of it, but with Portillo and a pretty experienced defense back there, we may be able to hold ground while the lines get sorted out and settled in

Awesome show. Much appreciated. I do wish Mel made some moves on the transfer portal... Also, what do you guys know of TJ Hughes, who seems to have committed to Michigan: https://ajhl.ca/media-centre/amp/article.html?rYear=2022&nID=20206 and Elite Prospects lists him as a transaction for UM
