Me of course!!!

Why not wait till we get closer to the season to see who will actually be playing hockey in MN this next year....

Largely depends on who stays. Here is a short list of some possibilities...

Horton-BSM
Michaelson- Apple Valley
Kloos- Lakeville South
Will Merchant- Eagan
Jake Randolph- East

Gee. I wonder if the OP has blood ties to one of the candidates?

Justin Kloos- Lakeville South
Trevor Olson- Duluth East
Jake Horton- Benilde St. Margarets
Michael Zajac- Eagan
Neil Goff- Stillwater
Jared Thomas- Hermantown
AJ Michaelson- Apple Valley
AJ Fossen- Spring Lake Park
Gage Torrel- Monticello
Connor Andrle- Breck School

As of right now it's hard to tell who would win. Here's my reasoning.

Justin Kloos- committed to the U. Put up 79 points during the regular season and is likely to do it again. He has proven he belongs at the top, and unless injuries cause him to stumble, he is my front runner.

If AJ Michaelson stays, he is going to be a finalist.

Duluth East as we know has a stellar top line with Trevor Olson, Jake Randolph, and Dom Toninato. I think either one with another big season could be finalist. I don't think all three will be but a good chance that two of them are.

Jake Horton could turn even more heads this year. He was lights out on the PP and had 45ish points as a DEFENSEMAN in a tough section and non-conference schedule. If he can put up 50 points and get BSM to the tourney I think he has an excellent shot at making it.

Michael Zajac is the big gun for a great looking Eagan team next year. However, either him or Will Merchant could squeeze into a finalist position.

As of right now, Neil Goff is one of the most prized D for his great potential and smooth yet speedy skating. He was passed on in the draft, however I think that he has a strong chance to be finalist if him and his strong looking defense can put together a good season.

If Jared Thomas stays, I think he is a finalist. He is big, strong, and skilled. I think he will put up big numbers during the season.

As hinted last season, AJ Fossen can carry his team. If he has some big numbers and a good record, he has a good chance as a finalist.

Personally, I think Gage Torrel is a no brainer. His resume is stacked and he has a bright future. If he plays half the season he is capable of he will make some noise for the MAML Stars this year.

Lastly, I think a Breck kid will be a finalist. Whether it is Andrle, Opperman, or Rudnick. One of them is bound to make the cut if they continue to put up these staggering numbers.

Obviously, I probs missed a few.

It's possible that he decided not to, but I had heard about a month or so ago that AJ Fossen was moving to Maple Grove. Source of information came from a Maple Grove player.

Fossen already lives in Maple Grove, but open enrolled at Spring Lake Park. If he goes back to Maple Grove wouldn't he have to sit the year out?

My initial thought as well, but from what I had heard he was moving so he could play at Maple Grove, which if you ask me doesn't make a whole lot of sense just for his senior year, despite that Maple Grove is likely to go to state.
