It would be really nice to tap into the Granato USDP contacts and land Emberson (or D'Andre Miller) as another RHD to add to Parsells who is already committed for next year. The pipeline in pretty good shape as far as traditional Wisconsin/Oz level dmen on the left side in Giddon and Inamoto lined up, but could really use a stud righty next class to fill in in front of Brady Smith arriving in 2019.

    Between Oz, the history of dman U, and the playing time opportunity for a high end RHD...I would expect we see a commit in short order.

        appears ?NOT? to be coming in next year?

          There's 10D on this year's list and 13D listed for next year. Pretty bonkers. Stillwell, Berkovitz and Vance all seem to be passed by Greenway and Nyberg. Greenway should shoot right to the top. Next year 3 highly regarded players are slated to arrive, Inamato, Parcells and Gildon. UW could have some young D pairs playing the next 2 years over the more experienced but less effective upperclassmen.
          Is Nyberg projected to be a top 4 Dman? I know nothing about him.

            I'm guessing that some of our incoming freshmen aren't ever going to see much action. And maybe also some of our sophs.
            If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

            BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!


            At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

            Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

              Zimmer, Frederic, Labosky, Greenway, and Nyberg will.

              Players like Berkovitz, Stillwell, Berry, Blomquist will probably sit.

              Vance and Sundberg I have no idea if they are still coming, I'm assuming no. Same goes for Berkovitz and Stillwell. Stillwell can stay another year in Juniors but Berkovitz has used up his eligibilty.

                Tarek Baker is not coming until 2017/2018 season...sorry for the confusion. That's what happens when I try to put up a short post via my phone!

                  MADISON, Wis. – Head men's hockey coach Tony Granato announced on Monday the addition of defenseman Philip Nyberg, who has signed a National Letter of Intent and is expected to join the Badgers for the fall.

                  Born in Karlskrona, Sweden, Nyberg spent last season skating for Linköping HC J20 in Sweden's SuperElit league. In 45 regular-season contests, the right-handed shot posted four goals and 18 points. He added a goal in four playoff games.

                  "He is a very athletic, explosive skater," Granato said. "His first two steps are really good. He's also a quality person from a quality family with great character."

                  In the prior season of 2014-15, the 6-3 and 192-pound rear guard skated three games with the same Linköping HC J20 squad, but played the majority of the year with Linköping HC J18, serving as an assistant captain. He had three goals and 12 points in 20 games playing in the J18 Elit league, as well as two assists in nine games in the J18 Allsvenskan league.

                  Nyberg is the fourth signing of the spring for the Badgers. The signings of goaltenders Jack Berry and Johan Blomquist, as well as defenseman JD Greenway, were announced last week.
                  Nyberg is listed as a left-handed shot here on the Linkoping site, but as a right-hander at Elite Prospects here.

To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case, my enemy is a varmint....and a varmint will never quit...ever.

                      Why is Sundberg not on it? I haven't seen anything that says he is not committed anymore. All sites state he still is.

                          If you're going by that logic, Vance should not be on there either.

                            I'm hoping that is not the top pairing. Ideally it would be Linhart and one of the soph's, although I really like what Greenway brings. But if one of the sophomores steps up his game enough in the off season to beat out Greenway for a top pair spot, I'm going to feel pretty good about where the D is at.

                            I won't be surprised at all if camp breaks with only 8 D including Hurley. Or 9, I guess, if we count McGuire as switching.

                            Also, while a L/R D pairing is ideal, I'm going to take the best available player every time. Rather play a better player on his off hand side than a lesser player because outside of the PP, 80-90% of what they need to do on a given shift is largely unaffected by which hand is dominant. Actually, with this group of F's, if the D can just play D, win the puck back and get it out quick, the Badgers will be in very good shape.

                              Most European players have a left handed shot, because of how they hold the stick. They are taught the dominate hand should be on the top of the stick controlling the stick handling. North American players are taught the dominate hand is placed on the bottom part of stick for more power. I know USA hockey was trying to change the thought process to have the dominate hand on the top of the stick which is the main control for most to all movements of the stick. If you look at a European club most players are listed left shot and North American roster majority are right shot. This is the reason.

                                I never played any organized hockey but just playing on the pond, I tended to like moving the puck left handed, but I do baseball, golf and lacrosse all right handed. Good explanation for the reason. Thanks.
