Some future pros might have more on their minds than the task at hand. Scouts from every NHL team will monitor this weekend’s regionals, as well as the April 7-9 Frozen Four in Boston, and some will have contracts in hand for their draft picks or coveted undrafted free agents. “We’ve talked about that with our leadership group, beginning about two months ago,” Carle said. “We want to make sure we’re limiting those types of distractions. They’re all going to be in due time. Let’s make sure we’re focusing on the special group that we have here.”
“We have a really tight-knit group and everyone is committed to winning a national championship,” Behrens said. “A lot of our players are going to have success when their time comes to sign a contract and play pro hockey. But I don’t think that’s going to be a problem here in the near future at all.”
