I need a therapist
As a Gopher fan, he probably needs another year
Me no likey.
This is a product of them getting bounced early. When players make a run, they typically are ready to move on, but they left meat on the bone and he probably feels a bit responsible. That said, Cooley said the same thing last year and then went pro. If he gets to camp and feels like he belongs, I’d bet he’d sign. In the moment things feel different
Sounds fine to me. Where would he play here next year anyway? Without trades our top 9 is pretty full
Snuggerud after watching the Blues this season:
Urgh. Not sure how that helps him at all.
This is the best possible outcome. Let him develop more. He will be a perfect 2nd liner when he is ready. Plus Dalibor is also waiting in the wings. The next year to 2 look promising. Hopefully people won’t lose faith in the note. If anything comes out of this season it’s what a great player Neighbors has become. I’m so happy to have his young guns. I would love to get it signed.
This is perfectly fine
Wonder if he wanted a guaranteed spot.
What do you all think he is getting paid at Minnesota? I know basketball and football players are the big money getters, but Minnesota hockey probably gets a fair amount of booster support.
Anyways, didn’t his two line mates last season say they were gonna return but then turned pro anyways?
It’s scary that he’s going to be one year closer to being an UFA, but we kind of had one too many forwards signed for next year if Dean and Bolduc are rostered all year.
I feel like we’re getting Vesey’d for some reason
As a fan, I’m disappointed, but as a realist this is probably for the best. Snuggy wasn’t going to be an impact player for another couple seasons at the earliest anyway. There’s room for growth at the college level and his play down the stretch did raise some questions about whether he’s ready for the NHL.
Kid’s not even 20 years old yet, it’s not the worst decision.
In this economy, who wouldn’t want some free education.
Not a good sign
Brings a smile to my face every time Jamie Rivers is proven wrong.
We’ll always have 2019.
[The Blues have Snuggerud’s rights until Aug. 15, 2026. If not signed by then, he will become a UFA.](https://x.com/mdefranks/status/1775226326636462111?s=46&t=Xn0juU2C4hEaElfmeGb4jQ)
Fine with me, one more year of seasoning could be great. Could be in a similar position next year to hop on board the team near the end of the season for a more realistic playoff push.
Also learned his brother is our new local NCAA team’s equipment manager!
I can’t make heads or tails of this one…
He’s 19(?), came within 1 goal for a Nat Champ, almost made the Frozen 4, and a sophomore still. He’s hungry for it so I’m not blaming him honestly. Let him grow and develop and learn. He’ll be here soon enough with Dali, Theo, and Otto. Let it ride fellas 😎
I feel like this is objectively a good thing and the smart thing, but I was looking forward to the excitement of having a top prospect on the team!
