Warning - This article contains rumor, speculation and inuendo. In other words, it full of gossip and b.s. But you already know that since you're reading LetsGoDU instead of relying on the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News, which do an excellent job of covering the Pioneer hockey program.Mannino & Butler
Former DU player and Colorado Avalanche player Paul Stastny was quoted in the Denver fishwrap today as saying, "Peter Mannino and Chris Butler will be back at DU next season."
Since Stastny used to room with Mannino and grew up in St. Louis with Butler, its believed to be a pretty good source. Of course things can change as both Brett Skinner and Stastny signed professional contracts over the summer.
Nash Possibly Closer To DU Commitment
The University of North Dakota internet message board Sioux Sports has a message that, "Its just a matter of time until Riley Nash commits to the University of Denver."
Putting any faith in internet message boards is a hazarous exercise at the best of times, but there are links between UND and the Salmon Arm Silverbacks program.
The Salmon Arm franchise is partly owned by St. Louis Blues head coach Andy Murray. Andy's son Brady Murray played at the University of North Dakota.There are also messages that claim he hasn't made up his mind yet, so the hockey world keeps waiting.
Paukovich Still Not Signed With Edmonton
As each day passes without a contract being signed with the Edmonton Oilers, a flicker of hope rises that Geoff Paukovich could return for his Senior season at DU. If Edmonton doesn't come up with a suitable contract, they risk Paukovich returning for his senior season.
Next season Paukovich will have more puck handlers capable of getting him the puck in close quarters in front of the net. DU recruits Kyle Ostrow, Tyler Bozak and Jason Gregorie all have excellent hands.
