Garin is NOT gone. He is going back to Holy Family. Also Tufte is not gone. He is still undecided but leaning towards coming back.

Will Graves, G, Minneapolis, Sr. Saw him on an NA3 roster today. Not sure if it's before or after.

Guess on Bender is that he's in purple and gold for his senior year and will do before and after only in the NAHL. With the smell of pronto pups in the air we aren't that far away.

I'm surprised Rooney make Elite. My "source" was convinced he was transferring to Benilde. Is one better off playing in the NAHL in lieu of Benilde?

Feel free to inform the uniformed...I enjoy the luxury of not knowing much about hockey.

STA dylan Mc Donald has left mn and is playing for omaha tier 1. Four games 7 points.

Smallidge played in elite this weekend so ordinarily that would be a good sign

Looks like Smallidge and Sorenson will be sticking around. Michael Graham played for Fargo this weekend, but I didn't see Tufte in the lineup. Anybody know what's going on with him?

Garin is my vote to pull the Tyler Sheehy. Wayzata timekeeper hopes that Sorenson makes the move to Waterloo but may be a better candidate for the dub.

XO. I see you haven't changed your mind on Mattson despite what various sections 7 posters are saying

I'm holding off. He is on the final roster for Bloomington, but that doesn't guarantee anything.

Tufte and Graham are both on the final roster for Fargo. I'm not sure about them either.

With about a month to go...any new confirmations of players leaving?

X0

Regarding your latest update:

o Have you seen anything finally definitive on Tufte ? (nothing on Twitter)

o Differing info on Dylan McDonald? (See Whopper2 post, big loss for Cadets)

sorry if this is already posted. Bender is officially playing with Wilderness in NAHL and will forgo his senior year.

Any of the top Class A teams losing any players?

This seems like the right place to ask and through all the pages I didn't see any mention of players from any of the teams who finished top 20 last year.

Jack Becker (Mahtomedi) left for Sioux Falls - USHL.

That's a loss. I see Blake and SPA also lost someone. Anyone else?
Are the Luverne skaters all coming back?

Trey Rooney back in school. Lots of high profile returnees. 18 departures at this point bucks the trend a bit.

Tufte will be back in Blaine this weekend and is playing for the Bengals.

XO, you got opinion on apparent noticeable dropping numbers of Early Departs last couple years, and any updated opinion on the outlook trend line for total MN D1s and NHL draftees?
