Would think 5-6. There are 3-4 on that roster that seem like obvious portal candidates, and nearly every team has 1-2 per year who surprisingly enter, so it'll be 5-6 total for the Goofers

That's a frustrating one. Gotta rebound tomorrow

Don't deserve to win when you can't score on a PP at the end of regulation & beginning of OT, sorry, that's how it usually goes

Olivers Murnieks (2008, Saint John Sea Dogs) commits to Boston College

Gotta give Jackson/staff, the players, etc a ton of credit for what we've seen lately. Winning 12 of 13 in any season is extremely impressive. After the coaching change, players lost to graduation/portal, & clear roster holes, not many would have been able to fathom a winning stretch like this one.

If he's made above the monetary threshold playing pro, then he's ineligible for the NCAA. Unless the Clearinghouse miraculously lets him in (or we get proof he's made less $ than the threshold), my assumption is that Ivar Stenberg is ineligible for NCAA Hockey

Cameron Schmidt hasn't gotten his ELC from Dallas yet, and while it would seem he'd get that soon, the Stars are smart enough to know that most guys making the insanely large jump from junior to pro at 20 years old don't succeed as well as expected, usually bust out entirely or take forever to be NHL ready. Schmidt would look very good for a number of programs including the usual suspects such as North Dakota, Denver, & Michigan. I just don't know if Schmidt and Dallas have interest in him developing against older, but age appropriate NCAA competition for 2 years.

Joe Gramer (2005, Moorhead MN, Nebraska Omaha) has left to go to the Dub to finish the season with the Seattle Thunderbirds. Wasn't playing much for the Mavericks, I guess he hopes to get an NCAA roster spot somewhere else next year

They're going hard in the Dub specifically. Head Coach Dennis Williams was the Everett Silvertips head coach before going back to his alma matter. He has all of the minor hockey & major junior hockey connections across Western Canada.

Yes it was. Kleven just hasn't been great this year for the Senators compared to his level of play he showed in the playoffs last year

Terriers need a spark, this was their move, we'll see how Lawrence does.

Still wild to me how much Boston University has underachieved/disappointed so far this season. Hutson the only one above a point per game, Eiserman and Boisvert well below where I thought they'd be and Yegorov well below average in net.

Kleven brutal turnover tonight for the Senators. Senators fans not happy with him. Wonder how long he'll be there

The Rangers have gotten a bit smarter. They know their prospects development in both New York and Hartford has not been great for a long time now. Their best players have developed elsewhere and/or spent longer periods of time in the NCAA. The Rangers Director of Amateur Scouting said when they drafted him that they weren't going to rush Emery and were prepared to keep him in Grand Forks for at least 2, but potentially 3 years. Emery needs a 3rd year, or otherwise he's riding buses to Utica, Syracuse, Springfield, etc.

Spunar watched the Chiclets video, nice!

Wasn't ready for the NCAA. Until you really produce in junior or have a super adaptable/Swiss Army knife style, you're not ready for the NCAA (at least 90% of the time).

Dumpster fire who is still able to recruit pretty well somehow

They are giving anyone who made below the $ threshold that the NCAA has set. Most believe that is $75-80k. So basically every ECHLer and many AHLers coming out of the CHL have been given NCAA eligiblity if they've applied

Good dub

Kernan what a snipe!

Can someone explain to me why we're playing Mercyhurst instead of Boston College, Boston University, Michigam, Michigan State, or Wisconsin?

F***ing finally!!!

Canada kicking ass, 7-0 over Slovakia in the 2nd

Reschny sounds like a small town Canadian 28 year old NHLer in the 90s. Mature beyond his years
