Obviously this is a little early to be worried about early departures, but I figured it was worth starting the discussion. So who is there that we will need to worry about possibly leaving early.
Graduating: Mattson, Gaarder, Parks, MacMillan, O'Donnel, Panzarella, Pattyn
Juniors: Caggiula, St. Clair, J. Schmaltz, Sanderson, Chyzyk, McIntyre
Sophmores: Stecher
Freshman: N. Schmaltz
I know their has been some talk about Caggiula and Stecher getting looks as UFA, but I think they are both back and having big seasons.
No idea on McIntyre, but I would love to see him for 1 more season.
J. Schmaltz ovbiously has some NHL talent, but has also had some faults in his game this season. I think he would benefit from another season of development, and could have a dominant senior season; but I could definitely see him heading out. Hopefully not.
N. Schmaltz has had a solid freshman season, but could really develop into a nice player after another season or two.
Thoughts? Do we have too many losses to have another good season next year, or will we be too young?
