    Undoubtedly, but I think if you ask most college coaches they're equally interested in developing talent. Each stop on the way up the ladder is filled with folks that aren't going to advance to the next level, but for the ones that will, coaches below the NHL are hoping to see their guys succeed at the next level and aren't going to shed too many tears when they see them move on at such time as they are ready.

    I'm willing to bet George Gwozdecky, right now, is more proud of Patrick Wiercoch and Joe Colborne than he is worried about next season.
    Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

      I don't want to start NHL banter on here, but I have to reply that the Rangers are two points behind 8th place Philly, who has played one more game than the Rangers, with 2 remaining Rangers-Flyers games left. The Rangers control their own destiny with 4 games left while on a 5-0-1 roll and while the primary team team they are fighting with for a playoff spot is on a 2-8-2 roll. I wouldn't give up just yet.

        Im being told he hasn't passed the clearinghouse yet and may have not even taken SAT yet. His best buddy Quellette is going overseas to play next season and they love playing together so who knows. Also heard that Major junior may be his destination for next season. Hearing more about options that don't include the word RPI!

          But are you hearing about the RPI option also?

          Edit: He supposedly took the SATs in March. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think that you can pass the clearinghouse without SAT results. If he hasn't gotten the results back, he thus couldn't have passed the clearinghouse. I can see that a potential recruit couldn't get past RPI's admissions, but I don't think that RPI would make an offer to someone who couldn't pass the clearinghouse. RPI's admissions must be significantly stricter.

            Hopefully, SA is turning on the hard sell.
            My fear here is that perhaps JL is more athlete than student-athlete.

              Quite possible, but what does the ratio of student to athlete have to be? I am sure that many RPI hockey players enjoyed playing hockey more than going to class.

                Typically poor reporting by the S-F mentioning LeBoeuf heading for RPI, but failing to mention JL's RPI commitment there. Can't say as I'm surprised though.

                The USHL is not out of the realm of possibility, given the bond that Monty has forged with the forwards he has brought in. This might be more likely in a scenario where JL is still intent on playing for RPI but his SAT's not being where they need to be. As usual, more questions than answers.

                Laliberte was treading water in the CJHL this year, if he were to return next season, he'd simply be mailing it in...as he would not be challenged by the level of play. As a competitive athlete, he should not be at all interested in another season with the Colts. I agree with posters here have said MacInnis shouldn't want JL back, if he is remotely interested in developing kids.

                  I don't have a membership, but based on this search result, USHR reports that Monty has an assistant in Dubuque:

                  "...Boston Rangers Midget AAA head coach Bobby Kinsella is returning to the USHL, having hired on as an assistant to head coach Jim Montgomery with the Dubuque ..."

                    I'm still refusing to get hot and bothered over "I heard." That's all we've ever got is "I heard, I heard, I heard." The Standard-Freeloader is better than "I heard."

                    You know what "I heard?" I heard the world's going to end tomorrow. What's your reaction going to be to that?

                              He should be student enough to qualify to get into RPI, that's basically all I care about. I'm wondering if that bar is able to be reached in this situation.

                              Terrible, baseless speculation here and all.
