Minnesota brings in one of the most highly anticipated freshman classes in the nation this season, and gained a transfer who should make an immediate impact. All played their roles for Minnesota, but all can be replaced on this yearвЂ™s roster without much pain. That matchup could be fun later in the year.ДЄlso graduating/transfering in the offseason were a trio of lightly used players in Nathan Burke, Robbie Stucker and Cullen Monson. The junior was stuck behind Jack LaFontaine a year ago and decided to leave to find more playing time.and hopped just across the boarder to become the new backup goalie for Wisconsin. Another Gopher transfer whose loss should be able to be dealt with is backup goalie Jared Moe. His 25 points from a season ago will be missed, but with the firepower coming from MinnesotaвЂ™s freshman class, it hopefully can be recovered. Brannon McManus decided not to play his 5th season with the Gophers and instead transferred to Omaha where he will play for the Mavericks. He signed with the San Jose Sharks in the offseason and should see plenty of AHL time this season.ДЄs for those who Minnesota will miss thir contributions, but should be able to have new players fill their shoes fairly easily are a pair of transfers. The Gophers fifth leading scorer also averaged a point a game and was a playmaker especially on the power play. The next biggest loss was senior Scott Reedy. He signed with the Colorado Avalanche organization after the season and will have a chance to see some NHL time this year, but will most likely spend most of his time with the AvвЂ™s AHL team in Loveland. Ranta led the Gophers with 31 points in 31 games and was electric in the open ice with the puck. The biggest loss will be forward Sampo Ranta. The answer is many, but really only a few with direct impacts. So here is a look at the 2021-22 Gopher roster and how they look to impact the team this season. Pair a stud goalie with one of the most experienced and talented blue lines in all of college hockey and a freshman forward class that should easily be able to hold their own with the veterans who still remain and the sky is the limit for this Gopher team. A year after losing to Minnesota State in the regional final, this team has legitimate Frozen Four expectations. As the 101st season of Minnesota Gophers hockey opens this weekend, we take a deeper look at who is gone, who still remains and who is new to a team than enters the season with some of the highest expectations a Gopher hockey team has had in nearly a decade.
