I don't believe Panzer cut the squad this year. Which is fine. Still relatively young. Ausmus did.

All I’m saying is that with the NTDP being located in MI it’s definitely a recruiting advantage for UM (obviously). With how good that NTDP is getting, it’s getting to be a bit unfair if they’re getting every kid. I really don’t even compare them with the BU team a couple years ago. UM is getting multiple lotto picks.

Mcgoarty flipped to mich wtf

If mcgoarty ends up flipping to mich I may call shenanigans

I said it a year or two ago…just wait the Big10 conference will end up tops. YHH is reporting J Clark and O Moore will go big10 route too.

Fantilli to Michigan…not a shocker…but F!!!

Ahh, I get it. Moving around the junior landscape is much easier than ncaa hockey. I’m guessing Penticton will be able to replace him easily.

…huh?

Was hoping a grad transfer had flipped

Will whitelaw to Badgers…not sure if we were ever in the picture but he’s good

Should be an interesting year. If they work hard they should still be an above avg squad. Won’t be like years past, I’m assuming scoring goals may be an issue. Time to hammer that recruiting trail.

Fair

Hopefully it's not brining in a recruit who isn't necessarily ready.

It has nothing to do with the kneeling…smh Pinto and Weatherby are two completely different types of players/prospects

TBH I feel the same way in these situations. Had they known he was leaving (which is a giant head scratcher) they could have brought in another grad transfer to fill the hole.

We’ll see. NHL is a lot tougher than college puck. You leave early when you’re dominating…especially overagers

This is where I lean. He's not that old....he will not be a high end NHL player this year. He had the chance to take on a very large role with this team and run with it. If this was his "dream employer", he could have easily signed in April and burned the first year of his contract. To be clear, I understand college hockey is simply is stepping stone for almost all players...but in this players case, there was more development to be had. You sign when you start dominating. Sure, he had a great end to last year but stretch it out for a bit to the team that gave you the chance. This one doesn't sit well with me...especially for someone who was voted in as an assistant captain.

This late? Terrible move by Weatherby

Goophs it is

That's what I'm thinking

Obviously stats aren't the most important thing....but he's kind of a kid where stats matter. I looked up the numbers out in the Philly WYC tourney and he had 2 points in 9 games. As a comparison....William Whitelaw had 27 in 9 games. He was the second lowest point getter on that team. Kind of a head scratcher

Shaugabay to UMD....interesting.

Andrew Strathmann commits, need to look him up. I’m unfamiliar with him. update - looks to be a solid D prospect

Interesting. USHL is a much tougher league.

Not an early departure I suppose but Scott Morrow appears to be doing very well (statistically) in the World Junior Summer Showcase. It's early but he seems to be hitting that stat sheet nicely. From my viewings of him...always thought he was super high end. update- after the first three games of the showcase morrow is tied for second in points
