Agreed, I think all four UND players could help a future team with Pinto & Sanderson being the better players. Hopefully, JBD & Kleven can also carve out a role for themselves on this team, can't be worse at this point.Sanderson going to be unbelievable.
One more year of dominating NCAA and this guy going to be welcome straight into a top 4 role for us. Can't freaking wait.
How hard will it be for Dorion to let Sanderson stay there next year? You know he's itching to bring him to Ottawa.
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if he is trying to bring him up, or even if Dorion succeeds in doing so. It is the biggest hole in the lineup next to a high end centre. Having another skilled, minute eating LD would take a ton of pressure off Chabot, allow him to play a normal 20 min/game and give us better match-ups against the good teams in the league.
I still fully think another development year is the best thing for Sanderson but I'm not sure we are going to get what is likely best. I hope he is a quick learner.

I think he turns pro along with JBD and Pinto.Sanderson will be heading back, and will be the guy in NoDak. He'll be on the Sens fulltime April of 2022, burning a year of his ELC in the process.
I'd be pretty surprised, I think we will be going back to NoDak for #1 mins, #1 pp, #1 mins and #1 pp at WJ. Then sign after the frozen four, get 6-10 games in, and start his 2nd year of his ELC as a 20 year old.I think he turns pro along with JBD and Pinto.
I know he originally planned to play 1 season at UND. I think he would develop better as a pro than as a student.I'd be pretty surprised, I think we will be going back to NoDak for #1 mins, #1 pp, #1 mins and #1 pp at WJ. Then sign after the frozen four, get 6-10 games in, and start his 2nd year of his ELC as a 20 year old.
After the Frozen four ends April 10th (or earlier should NoDak bow out early). Another month and a half-2 months is likely.So when does Pinto join the Sens? We could use his skill-set in our top 6.
