Hockey Transfer Hello: Tyler Duke
Retweeted by Dylan, so pretty sure it's legit.
Dylan's little brother is a defenseman who had 4-8-12 appearing in all 40 games for OSU. Good skater, more than a little edge to him. A bit small at 5'9". Was a national under 18 guy.

Been planning his move since the last time we played (and crushed) the Buckeyes.

The reverse Justin Boren
Hopefully he can plow some ice.

Welcome home.

The Blues Brothers are back!

Mom can burn the Osu gear.
And that ugly half and half sweater can go too - I'm looking forward to seeing the Duke clan in C-Bus next season only in maize and blue.
Great pick-up for Coach Naurato!
maybe you keep that for christmas many years from now? like as a gag for the grandkids

Didn't see this mentioned anywhere else, we also picked up Chase Pletzke from Miami.

I can’t thank Miami Hockey for all they have done for the past four years. With that being said, I’m excited for my next chapter with @umichhockey #goblue pic.twitter.com/O6JzS9Ze1D

Seems like an odd pickup. He's 23, played in just 20 games last season, and didn't tally a single point.

Center depth and (I think) penalty killing. Michigan needs depth at center, especially if a bad thing happens after the NHL draft.
He just had basically zero production at Miami. I was assuming he probably wouldn’t dress on most nights…but maybe Nar sees him as a 4th line guy
Not so odd, considering he's from Bay City.
Can't hurt to have a veteran presence on a team that will still be quite young.

IMO this is a really big get. A USNTDP guy who had an older brother at Michigan but committed to OSU last year when Mel Pearson was the coach. This is definitely a vote of confidence for Naurato from the Duke family.
He is a solid player in all three zones. This move will help Michigan in all categories except for the "avoiding penalties" one.
Also, it seems like Ohio State is losing half of its team, I wonder what is going on there.
Theyve lost so much production that I wonder if they wont drop to last in the league
OSU hockey has this weird boom/bust thing and has for like two decades.

OSU needs all the hockey money to pay for football players...
Wow, YAY!!!
Nice pick up! Tyler is definitely agitating to play against, like his brother.
We now have M's version of the agitating old time Plager brothers. Said one opposing player after a bench emptying brawl against the Blues, "It doesn't matter which is which. They all hit the same."
We had a rough and tumble pair of brothers in the mid-70s, Tommy and Dougie Lindskog. School wasn’t their long suit.
Old time hockey...just like Eddie Shore.
It was the Dukes! It was the Dukes!
Hell yeah!!
i am iffy on this as it gives me a bad vibe regarding storm duck. otherwise it is never to late to close your eyes and see the light. father sarducci sent me here
I mean… it’s pretty silly to evaluate an individual based on the panache of his name and the performance of the entire unit. Great names get stuck on bad units all the time.
