Quite a few Youngstown players drafted before Strathmann.

What does Fantilli dropping to 3 in Columbus mean for his decision to return? Could OSU factor into anything?

Frozen Faceoff has a Wild v Blues game 2pm on championship night. No Wild games anytime near the Frozen Four.

Won't be hard to plant a seed of doubt in the program's future with any of their potential or committed recruits.

Let's hold on to Miami for now, St Cloud State might not be an educational institution anymore by the time the next round of realignment comes around.

Wenatchee Wild moved from BCHL to WHL. Curious if Littler is a flight risk.

TIL international students are not eligible for NIL without a waiver of sorts. Doesn't mean it's not a massive shift in the landscape, but a good amount of players in college hockey won't receive anything.

Any other schools/coaches?

There was definitely some disappointment expressed on here when we didn't get him the first time around. Let's build a Wenatchee pipeline as Washington's hockey community ramps up.

another comment says it won't be Wisconsin.

Expected him to go somewhere more academically rigorous, but congrats to him. Hopefully he gets plenty of ice when they play in GF this year.

What happens first, St Cloud wins a natty, or the institution drops hockey? https://www.startribune.com/st-cloud-state-deepens-previously-announced-cuts-to-programs-faculty/600278407/

ESPN said they intend to go streaming only in the near future. Hopefully their near monopoly on high level hockey doesn't start costing an arm and a leg.

Beating them and then having them go on a tear once he is in the lineup is best case scenario for our pairwise. It's not like they are the only challenging opponent on our schedule.

Celebrini might not be ready at the start of the season for BU after playing all of last year with a shoulder tear. Would be great if he debuts the week after UND visits Boston...

Former Junior goalie (maybe also player?) of the year Jake Sibell to St Thomas. I remember an article about him in USA hockey magazine and wondering why he was going to Niagra. Hopefully it works out for him.

Schloss named Logan Britt as their target for the 8th D spot.

EA Sports is figuring out NCAA football NIL, maybe they'll add NCAA to the NHL series. Can't imagine it would warrant a stand alone version like football and basketball.

Doesn't seem like as big of a loss as the rest. It's possible Strand didn't want him, too.

Klavs Veinbergs bails on Mankato. He needs another year of juniors before playing college hockey though.

On CHNs last podcast of the year McMahon mentioned that every portal entrant he spoke with said they want to go to a Big Ten team. Not sure what sort of selection bias was applied, but NCHC seems to be dethroned in the eyes of current players.

Per Rink Live, Cade Littler removed Minnesota State from his Instagram bio.

Isn't he from suburban Chicago?
