    That's my best guess also but of course depends on who drafts him and in what round.

        I have written a few times that I thought that he would be our highest ever drafted defenseman. The record is currently held by Cam Brauer who was drafted #82 in the 4th round in 1988 (one position after Joe Juneau). That's still possible, but I don't think that he will beat #82. Fourth round is possible.

            Agree-he may not beat #82 but I do think there is a good chance of a 4th round pick.

              Pirri shocked us last year by going in the 2nd round, when we thought he was a 4th-6th rounder.

              Then again, D'Amigo was sure to be a 2nd rounder (or perhaps, who knows, even 1st round pick) and stayed on the board until the 6th.

              Given PK's size, I'd say he's more likely to go higher than we think rather than lower, but who knows. I'll go on the record and suggest he'll give Brauer a run for his money and go in the late 3rd (but ultimately later than #82).

                I'm probably in the minority here, but I think Koudys stays all four years. The education piece of his college experience I know was very important to him and his parents, and this factored heavily in his decision to attend RPI (he was his high school's valedictorian).

                  He is also a Civil Engineering major, and if I remember correctly, it's been said that we've never had an engineering major leave early. I sincerely hope he'll stay all four years.

                    As an attempt to stir things up as we head toward the true dog days, I'll throw out my (highly subjective) personal guess as to line combos in our first meaningful game next season:

                    Lee-Higgs-Neal
                    Haggerty-Malchuk-Rabbani
                    O'Grady-Laliberte-AAG
                    Burgdoerfer-Rogic-Cullen

                    Bailen-Leonard
                    Bergin-Dolan
                    Koudys-Leboeuf

                    Merriam*-??? (Kasdorf?)

                    scratch: Tinordi, McGowan, Curadi, Bradley

                      Today is 13 April 2011. There are 171 days until RPI's next game.


                      This is based upon 1 October for the start of next season.

                      That is the day that an exhibition game is supposedly scheduled.

                        You've missed Smith and Schroeder. I'd play Schroeder over Burgdoerfer and add Smith to the scratches. As to how that would affect the lines, I'll have to think about it.

                          I also don't see Haggerty on what appears to be a checking line. He has that responsibility on the U18 team, but I suspect that he will have a more offensive role at RPI.

                              Ill give it shot:

                              Laliberte-Higgs-O'Grady (Team Canada East line)
                              Lee-Schroeder-Haggerty
                              Neal-Rogic-AAG
                              Tinordi-Malchuk-Rabbani

                              Bailen-Curadi
                              Bergin-Leonard
                              Koudys-Bradley

                              and a powerplay something like this: Laliberte-Higgs-Haggerty-Schroeder-Bailen

                                Another little subjective thing: Should we happen to win the UCONN tournament... DO NOT TOUCH THE TROPHY! I actually remember Coach Appert (or maybe it was one of the players) saying back in the 2007-08 season in a joking fashion after winning the Governor's Cup, "We'll try not to make this the highlight of the season." Yes, I'm a superstitious person, bash me all you want, but there has to be some reason for the February (or January) meltdown. I realize there are physical factors that would easily take higher precedence in said argument, but every other team has to deal with the same rigors, so why are we any different?
