    How many freshman had 11 pts last year? Vesey isn't sitting . Hayes will be playing.

    Jake signed last fall and will be in Orono in October. Guite was fortunate to get him early in recruiting (I believe he committed in the fall of 2014). He's going to be a fun player to watch!

    Papalardo in particular will thrive in Hockey East. Very surprised some of the bigger programs, if you want to have them call themselfs that, didn't go after him
    Killed the prep league.

    I agree about the stats but it does show they can play at a particular level
    Smith played on a very good Green Bay team and was just average on team.

    The team is not that far off
    Watched both vs NU and they were close

    Oh, and prep/USHL stats don't mean squat. What are they gonna do for the team here, and now? We'll see.

    Zero chance Vesey gets bumped for any of them

    I know what you are saying, but...
    They took Northeastern to ot in both games in playoffs at NU's rink. NU was a tough team at the end

    Brian Morgan as a junior is a solid player. Had an off year last year but was better than several of these kids when he played prep and USHL. Just an example

    Year 3 or 4 is not when you do a start over, stay with the process and tweak, don't dismantle

    You're saying these guys are worse than the guys we've had suiting up currently? Cause I really don't see a downside to playing as many freshman as possible. The only forwards I see for a lock in the starting lineup are Brown, Byron, Robbins and Lacroix.

    OK, so maybe not a lot of, all at once, but I can see that group of five or six forwards being the ones fighting to get into the lineup, rather than being locks for places. The ones being rotated in and out for third and fourth line duty.
