Just looked at LSSU's stats. It's not good when the team's second-leading scorer has one goal on the season. 

Their leading goal scorer, Harrison Roy, had 12 goals on the season to go along with 4 assists.  And somehow still wound up a -20 on the season.  OOF.

The transfer portal for hockey doesn't open till March 19 (selection Sunday). They are most likely waiting for that.

But they call it "Player Moves". Early signings to the pros could be up to date.

Well, we can cross Devon Levi off the list of potential portal goalies.

Count me as one who thinks his (sweet-looking) stats are inflated playing against weak competition.

In three career games vs western teams (AZ St and Western Michigan), 12 GA on 119 shots.  .899 save pct.  GAA abt 4.

…what? He’s in Hockey East. His numbers are great so is he. Actually his numbers coupled with how average his team was is incredible

He was kinda-OK at the WJC a couple years ago: 

7 GP
0.75 GAA
0.964
3 shutouts
6-1-0 record

His numbers last year were absurd as well. Will probably go down as a top 5 college goalie ever. He has the second best save % in NCAA history.

I have a buddy that is a NE fan. I told him (jokingly) that Levi had decided to transfer to UND last year - he about shyt his pants!:D

That’s a good one…we’d be a 1-2 seed with Levi this year

If we're gonna pick up a dman out of the portal, Koch or Bengtsson are intriguing.  Especially Bengtsson with two years of eligibility remaining.

More pressing is the goalie situation...here are the current goalies in the portal:

  • Chad Veltri, sr, Niagara, 18-16-3, 2.78, .906
  • Luke Lush, sr, Sacred Heart, 14-16-3, 2.69, .899
  • Seth Eisele, sr, Lake Superior State, 3-9, 2.86, .913
  • Zack Rose, sr, Bowling Green, 3-1, 3.44, .891
  • Ben Kraws, sr, Arizona State, 3-0, 2.19, .926
  • Kolby Matthews, sr, RIT, 3-2, 2.82, .904
  • Connor Hopkins, jr, Yale, 0-4, 5.23, .814
  • Ethan Roberts, fr, St. Thomas, 0-2, .869, 4.53
  • Francis Boisvert, sr, St. Lawrence, 0-0, .938, 3.70
  • Henry Baribeau, sr, St. Thomas, 0-0, 1.000, 0.00

I was hoping for the other goalie from ASU to be in the portal and for us to make a run at him.

Ben Kraws from ASU back in the portal.  We could likely get him with no scholarship dollars applied.  Was at Miami, then played 27 games at ASU last year before Northeastern goalie came in and took the reigns from him.

He's a big kid with great lateral movement.  Low risk....very low risk.

Yeah I remember him from his Miami days.  He didn't play a ton and had not great numbers on some poor teams.
His numbers improved at ASU and were pretty decent this year in very limited games though.

Eisele is a big goalie I kinda remember him in high school at Stillwater

Boisvert related to the Quebec forward recruit?

I wondered that too.
They're both from Quebec, but I couldn't find any mention on Elite Prospects or similar where they normally list siblings or family.

That Boisvert goalie from SLU has literally played ONE game each of the last three seasons.
Grand total of 3 games in 3 years.  Geez, talk about well-rested.  ;)
