Likely the Colorado import, but HOF has the latest inside scoop according to his Dad who I keep running into

I don't see HF's Jared Moe on the list? I thought he was at Dubuque?

Moe is at Waterloo. Gone. Does anyone have an updated list of early departs? I assume we know most by now.

List on the first page appears to be missing Stejskal and Tabor for sure.

Others notable in their absence from Elite League rosters who haven't been mentioned or confirmed here: Almquist (HF), Koster (Chaska), Hamstad (WBL), McGregor (Cent), Brodzinski (Blaine), Kukkonen (MG)...some of them are playing juniors, some for the Blades?

Ouch... A team that was poised to take it's section and make a run in the tournament. I figured he would have done a before and after to make a run... especially with that solid of a group!

Sounds like he's standing out in scrimmages down there... so it probably makes the decision all the harder.

I see 5 goalies on the updated list on page 1. It's hard to argue that is the one position where playing high school all the way through may be a disadvantage.

Bloomington gave McGregor an ultimatum, either he stayed the whole season with them or played for Centennial. He made the right choice staying in Bloomington, didn't have to prove much more in the high school league. section 5AA is wide open.

What was the ultimatum? They release him? Doubt it!! So staying in Highschool is about proving something? Interesting!

I assume the team was not willing to do a "before and after" arrangement. Despite what many posters believe, most USHL teams are moving away from letting players do "before and after." Most teams find these arrangements detrimental. Of course there are exceptions for truly exceptional players or if there is a belief that the player will decide to stay after spending a few months with the USHL team. One other scenario is treating the early fall as a tryout - if the player earns enough ice time they will stay in the USHL, if not they head back to high school This is less common.

Are the Lamppa and Grant Anderson departures confirmed?

Not until Golden Bear confirms on G Anderson! His earlier thought was Grant was staying!

GoldenBear · Post by **GoldenBear** » Mon Oct 02, 2017 8:55 am

Will know when USHL Teams cut to 23 man rosters at 6pm tonight. I'm hearing if Grant is selected he will go to Green Bay. This is a change from what I heard in the summer. GB

Sorry to hear that. There goes Trojans chances of being a giant killer again in
Section 2 . Also further muddles the lower top 10 rankings.

TheNightman · Post by **TheNightman** » Wed Oct 04, 2017 12:25 pm

Is Almquist gone? HF might not be as tough as expected.

Wayzata is in Section 6 - but assume that is what you meant.

WestMetro · Post by **WestMetro** » Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:06 pm

Yes, Section 6, sorry!!!

GB- what is final word on Anderson

GoldenBear · Post by **GoldenBear** » Thu Oct 05, 2017 8:04 pm

WM: just checked Green Bay 23 man roster and didn't see Anderson on it. Unless he is injured (I hope he isn't) and put on IR or he was traded to another USHL team the last few days ( I quickly looked on other rosters and didn't see him on one) therefore I think he's a Trojan for one more year. Go Trojans and I hope Grant had a great senior year. GB

Check NAHL Janesville Jets October 5 transaction
That MI is probably a typo. Plymouth MN

3A---that be him. Wow! Must not like Oleary. That move makes no sense to me. Oh well. Crap. GB

GoldenBear · Post by **GoldenBear** » Thu Oct 05, 2017 9:40 pm

Don't see a lot of before and afters
With NAHL. But who knows. Thanks for info 3A Fan

WestMetro · Post by **WestMetro** » Fri Oct 06, 2017 10:43 am

Still chance we will see him back? if he doesn’t like Jville after a few weeks?

You can remove Lucas McGregor from the list, he is now coming back according to the Centennial Twitter account.
