Wow. Honestly, didn't expect those two to sign! 

[Wilbur]

I thought the Warroad boys may stick around for another year with the group that the Broncos have coming back.  Michels, and now Hammer and Grant.  Hammer only 20 years old.  I'd guess a full year in Ontario before making a debut in LA.

Hampton should have stayed another year

Yes, unless they are both very mature for their age another year in Kalamazoo would better prepare them for life after college. It's a tough world out there.

Former Omaha goalie Reidler signs with Ottawa

[Level B Fishbowl]

Cornell loses two players as Jonathan Castagna and Hoyt Stanley sign deals with Calgary and Ottawa, respectively. Castagna was fully expected after Utah traded him but Stanley was out of nowhere (although I can't say I'll miss watching him)

GPL on portal watch starting today right

Yes.  Mooney and Ziemer have both had NIL type announcements recently (Ziemer yesterday or Sunday), so fans thinking that's a good sign.

Fink (PSU), Sabo (OSU) sign

I’m sure he graduates this year

Does a PTO mean he loses college eligibility or could he still come back if he doesn't sign with the Canes?

He could still return to PSU, but the requirements for doing so are much stricter after one has already played college than if he had signed a PTO before he began playing in the NCAA.

Only way he can return to the NCAA is if he doesn't play a game, but he will. He's done at Penn State

Doesn’t Casey come next year, so he’d be the odd man out

Yeah, guess it wasn’t unexpected Airey would enter. Maybe Coach advised it. Interesting to see which players follow/stay/enter though from rodents & clowns.

Casey probably needs another year of junior. Bet Larson goes into the portal or recruits an older goalie out of junior
