Braeden Cootes signed

He needs to play with Emery and he’ll flourish

Liv has actually done great on the PP from my end. His O numbers are solid. That’s why (to me) this could be a really tough call.

In all honesty…Verhoeff is going to be a top 4 dman. He also will probably need to be on the PP. Not sure how this will all work with Liv and Wiebe, but this kid the bluest of blue chips. They don’t play secondary roles.

That’s what I was thinking. I would assume they’ll now be in play.

Agreed. He’ll have a better/older supporting cast. I believe (generally) there may higher scoring in the Big10. I’ll say low to mid 60s

It’s definitely the latter from my angle….but the difference, only time will tell. I mean, this just changed and many of the very best nhl players went from the CHL leagues to the NHL. He probably just doesn’t feel like going to class.

Well for what it’s worth…he follows both the Michigan hockey and football programs on Insta

I’m thinking the same thing, it’s probably 50/50. But I’m sure we’re in the equation.

MSU’s biggest draw is their coach.

Yeah…super super deep already.

Read that too

I’ve read that as well.

Very smart strategy for them. Some of those Usports teams are decent. And these are their all stars. Teams like Duluth, SCSU etc should have jumped on this earlier.

26/27? Why not 25/26…school?

As of now they’re all going there. Obv coaching changes can change things.

Yes, as of now he’s going MSU.

I’m not sure…DU would make some sense

I actually agree here. He’s actually a decent player. Not sure he cracks our lineup this year but he may have a role his upper class years. Would lock up Landon too for 1-2 years. Im hearing Schaefer may play a year of college puck.

I’m next to certain the plan for Schultz was to always go back and play another year of juniors. If he’s going to play awhile it will because of his O game. Anyone with his best interests in mind would push that. His year last season was very up and down. Nice player, but he definitely needs one more year.

O’Neill may play two years in the Dub…not the worst thing to think about for maximizing his career. Pilgrim will have to age out.

Really ok I’ve never heard too much about him…numbers don’t overly wow me

Almost sounded as though BU kind of wanted to go in a different direction. He doesn’t appear to be a world beater.

They kind of have to be tbh…their mgmt is getting raked over the coals with their offseason moves so far…including the Marchand move itself. They had all the cap and they’ve basically signed a bunch of 4th liners. They needed scoring and have gotten none. Might as well trade pasta for the future.

Why?
