@Wilbur sent Berry, @Oxbow6, and me a group text earlier today.  We all three voted “OUT” and coach gave Shaw the pink slip 10 minutes later.

Seems to me you guys should be able to multi-task better...

Sounds like Mikey Anderson close to signing with Kings.

Tufte and Anderson for UMD, who's next?

Mitchell for DU coming back for his JR season.

Brandon Duhaime from Providence signs an ATO with the Wild, foregoing his senior season.

Hockey East is really taking a beating this off season with departures, with other top Seniors. Looking at last years records:

1. UMASS:  Seems to be in pretty good shape, but lose top two scorers Makar and Pritchard (SR). Pretty good proven depth returning.

2. Northeastern: Lose top 3 scorers (all above 30 points) and a stud goalie

3. Providence: Lose 1, 3, 4, 6 and Senior goalie. 

4. Lowell: Lose top 2 and Top D. Their point totals look like UNDs this year.

5. BU - Lose 5 early, under .500 record last year

Still looking for Samberg, Wolf and Perunovich to leave as well.

It still might happen, but Anderson to LA might have been a little premature by their writer. Matt Wellen (Duluth sports writer), talked with Anderson after the LA Kings guy tweet and Anderson said he was still deciding.

Wolf more for safety reasons for our team.

Would think Sheperd would be under consideration to also leave early.

Anyone else starting to get the feeling like Duluth is going to lose nowhere close to the number most hoped for? I originally thought 4 would go, it's just been way too quiet for my liking.

That's a big one, fantastic hockey player. Let's go back to my list:

Shepard 

Tufte

Anderson or Perunovich

Samberg or Wolff (Staying)

Two down

Samberg announced that he is staying for his JR season as well for UMD.
Just Perunovich left as an early departure risk for them...

Perunovich, Anderson and Shepard were the only ones I REALLY wanted to go. Don't get me wrong, I wish they all left, but those three are the most to fear, IMO. So, two out of three would be cool by me

Adam Fox signs with the Rangers

Ludvig Hoff signs with Norwegian pro team.

This could be addition by subtraction here. Nothing against Hoff, but he never performed to a high level or consistently at UND, there has been plenty of talk about how that recruiting class was a miss in several areas. This one doesn’t bother me at all.

that being said, best of luck to the guy!

It’s too bad we never got to call him “The Hoff” Had that one ready to go if he was a stud.

Agreed, he never quite played like many of us thought he would.....but far from an addition by subtraction.  He would have been a senior, he's still developing.  Having another senior to play a 2-4 line role would have been a plus.
