Wow has this thread turned into a lot of emotions! If the HC was an outside hire, I would have expected a lot more players to enter the portal…. Well, it is only Monday!
I understand that it doesn't apply to all players that enter the portal, but don't most players the go to the portal already have their destination mapped out?
That could be true. KEM could have done the same. Who knows. Something that I have been thinking about and I don’t know what the right answer is. When do you release a college hockey coach and have the time to make the best hire? It’s not right that the portal opens before the tournament is over. You don’t have the time unless you already made your decision before the end of the season who is going to be the replacement. It sucks.
I will be very interested in the rest of the coaching team. Will Dane scour the field for assistants? Will he keep any? Time will tell. I hope he he does well.
