Ken Klee and Melissa Caruso end of year interview

Basically said what everybody already knows that the frost are going to lose some really good players in expansion but the most shocking thing said was that 4-5 Frost players need surgeries at the moment (have to guess maybe Buchbinder and Coyne are two of them).

Who do you want the Frost to draft with their 1st round pick?

One of the only silver linings for Minnesota being out earlier now is that their 1st round pick will be a little higher than if they won the championship. It’s looking like they’ll either pick 5th if the league dosent let the expansion teams pick ahead of them or 9th if the league does.

Based off the rankings https://thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/2026-pwhl-draft-rankings-april-top-100

It looks like some of the following players in Minnesotas range are:

Nelli Laitenen - defenceman - u of Minnesota

Kirsten Simms - forward - Wisconsin - U.S. gold medalist

Lacey Eden - forward- Wisconsin

Emma Peschel - defence - Ohio State

Issy Wunder - forward - Princeton

Sydney Morrow - defence - u of Minnesota

- Also, even though it would be hard and unlikely as she’s ranked 2nd/3rd overall is the Frost could possibly try to somehow trade up to get Abbey Murphy as she’s definitely a “Frost” type of player to a fault as she plays like Curl but with more talent. Plus she’s obviously close with Taylor Heise and the other U.S. national team members on Minnesota

- it’s obvious the frost are going to lose at least 1-2 of either Pannek, Coyne, Stecklein, Zumwinkle, Cooper through the expansion period with how expansion teams can offer mandatory EFO offers for $100k that players have to sign. It’s going to hurt but it might impact their draft plans

Taylor Heise needs better linemates

She’s basically doing everything when she’s on the ice but her linemates most of the time (no offence to them) can’t finish or can’t think at her level to make plays. In a do or die game tommorow she should be playing with her team USA teammates like curl Coyne or zumwinkle on her line. Let players like knoll, hymrlova, Cogan or hustler crash and bang on the 3rd line.

- 47 minutes for stecklein, I think Klee has gotta find a way to manage her minutes if he can next game and after even if she is their most crucial defenceman in all situations. Especially with back to back games. They should give some more minutes to roese and batherson if they’re playing Morin so much too.

- Britta curl has no excuse to not be one of the best players on the ice next game considering she has fresh legs

- the 4th line kinda sucks, turning the puck over all game and not getting the puck out of their own end most of the time. And that 2 on 1 in ot with Giguère and and Anderson was sooo bad the game should have been over on that play
