Originally posted by Nick Papagiorgio View PostYea, maybe he could commit to UNH and the Calgary GM and Umile can become pals and the Mildcats can become a de facto farm team for Calgary. I would hate to see that happen, you know, with the conflicts of interest and all.
So for a slow summer it is a fair conversation, although academic (so it fits with College Hockey).
I would agree it is stange the Caps GM made a public comment on what is happening."Now Progress Takes Away What Forever Took To Find" Dave Matthews Band, The Dreaming Tree

True that there is little room but they could put Thrush back to 2012 as originally planned. I really hope they can pull this together to land them.Originally posted by C-H-C View PostWas thinking the same thing - Jamie Hill and the Gaudreau brothers played on the same team at the Senior Chowder Cup last weekend (also appear to be twitter buddies). Realistically, I'm not sure there would be a space for John on this year's team - there are a lot of forwards coming in. Matt Gaudreau , on the other hand, is a Dec. 1994 birthdate who is scheduled to play his first season in the USHL with the Omaha Lancers. He also officially decommitted from NU and there could be room for him in the Fall of 2012 or 2013. Whatever they decide, good luck to them - they sound like a close hockey family (http://www.courierpostonline.com/art...tough-decision).

Friday Midnight - Josh Ciocco to John Gaudreau:
"i think you'd look pretty good on the that big sheet... hope the visit went well... Go Wildcats!"
9:00 Saturday Morning - John Gaudreau to Josh Ciocco:
"yeah it was awesome and I loved the campus"
Beginning this summer, college hockey fans have been provided with an unprecedented glimpse into how the recruiting of prospects really works. With the advent of blogs and twitter accounts by reporters with access to inside information (e.g., Ryan S. Clark, Chris Peters, Skip Peters) and, more importantly, the recruits posting on twitter, interested fans can follow the recruiting process in real time. Sometimes, it's like watching sausage being made (e.g., an NHL executive trying to negotiate a scholarship worth 10's of thousands of dollars for one of his draftees). Sometimes, it provides interesting insights into the character of the recruit and their families as they painstakingly make the most important decision in the youngster's life (e.g., the ongoing quest of John and Matt Gaudreau and their Dad).
Time will tell whether this is a constructive development or the lifting of a curtain on what should remain private. In general, I think it is positive because it has the potential to quell false rumors and misinformation. Now, when an anonymous poster on a fan forum claims that Coach A is an ineffective boob of a recruiter, Player B is a self-centered, learning disabled creep, or College C should be renamed the University of God because they always get the best recruits, the average fan can see for themselves what actually happens in the recruiting wars.

Re: UNH Recruits: 2012-2014
The plan for Garrett Harr didn't work out (http://slightlychilled.areavoices.com/?p=785). Perhaps Coach York, who is known for his integrity (and exceptional coaching ability) realized it wouldn't look appropriate to give a scholarship (worth 10's of thousands of dollars) to a recruit as a favor to the executive of an NHL team.

Not to mention they're as deep as usual at defense and not so much at offense this coming year.
