Brett Pesce on the possibility of leaving UNH and joining the Carolina Hurricanes this season:

"You know obviously I think there's a lot to work on my game, I need to get a little bit bigger, but you know I haven't really thought ahead yet. I'm trying to play it day by day."

Brett Pesce on the possibility of leaving UNH and joining the Carolina Hurricanes this season:

Im no expert but seems like it would make no sense for him to leave unh for at least another year or two. His game seems far more suited to developing in college than in the ahl because of the aforementioned size and physicality issues. I dont see carolina taking him anytime soon

'Canes defense one of the worst, if not the worst, in the NHL this past season. Joe Corvo leading scorer for their d-men, at 7 G, 10 A, and -3 +/-. So, do not be too sure about Pesce staying.

Are you proposing that he could possibly play for the Hurricanes next season? You probably have better odds of winning a million dollars on a scratch ticket. Twice.

He's coming back to UNH for his sophomore year.

No, but may not stay in Durham for four years is all I am saying.

Successor training sort of gig?

Seems that successor training at the Div 1 or 3 level a bit closer to Durham might make more sense? But, best wishes to Josh at UAA; a nice opportunity for him.

This is the part of college hockey that I like: players who cannot make the pro ranks as players can stay involved in the game that they love, especially if they are smaht.

Perhaps he'll head up to Waverly, spending a bit of time at Joe's... (Member of the welcoming crew there in the early 90s.)

Booked a flight to Minnesota. Who else is headed out that way?
