        A lot to catch up on in here. Nick Shore is gone, as the cupboard in Denver becomes more bare.

              A very long stretch, about 20 days without a signing from UML's Ruhwedel to SCSU's Jensen. 25 players signed from the end of the regular season to the Frozen Four. Only one since the tournament final. Apparently players are making up their minds early this year.

                Early departures are recipients of "scholarships," although their departures suggest that "scholarship" is not a priority with them, and in their case probably not with their sponsoring schools. Just to clarify reality why not label these grants-in-aid "hockeyships?" There are bound to be some exceptions, but not nearly as many as those which belie the name "scholarship."

                        Not all scholarships are equal either. Some players come in with a 2 or 3 year scholarship with the intention of leaving early or if they do leave early with a 4 year scholarship it opens up another scholarship as well. Schools can thus extend additional scholarships to fulfill the 18 scholarship quota by using this partial scholarship method. This is a luxury afforded the power schools as they can get those top notch recruits who have no intention of sticking it out 4 years by not quite but almost promising them an extension if they do stay while allowing them additional scholarships in the meantime.

                        Here are some reasons. One is what MNS mentioned: some kids take longer to develop. Another is that the schools that aren't able to persuade draft picks to sign because they would rather go to Minnesota, UND, BC, etc. can take a 19, 20 or 21 year old freshman and counter the talent and potential of the younger person with experience and size. A third reason is that while the power programs are able to recruit the more talented players, some of those players don't stay all four years. So when you have a QU team with 13 or 14 seniors, they are going to have a big advantage over a team like Minnesota who had one senior. So there are a couple answers to your question.
                        This is where BC has excelled in recent years. For the most part they have kept the stellar players 3 or 4 years instead of 1 or 2 years(are you listening Minnesota?) to maintain cohesion and team chemistry. When you put together top end recruits with stability you get that lethal combination that can win championships. Teamwork wins championships more than talent alone but if you have both you are on solid ground. Another highly overlooked reason for championship teams is the selection of team captains. A great captain can motivate his team for that extra effort necessary to win it all.

                          Major loss for Niagara as Carsen Chubak, a Hobey Baker top 10, reportedly signed with the Adirondack Phantoms.

                            College Hockey's only 2013 NHL first round pick, Mike McCarron who signed with Western Michigan, has now signed with the Montreal Canadiens and will play with London OHL or Hamilton AHL in 2013-14.

                            http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.h...id=DL|MTL|home

                            McCarron had previously been linked with verbals to Michigan State and Cornell and an LOI to Western Michigan.

                            This has been a unique offseason and maybe a new trend developing with players making early decisions and not dragging things out through the summer. Of the 27 college-experienced players with eligibility remaining, 25 of them signed before the Frozen Four championship on April 13th. The other two signed by early May. Over two months have passed without a signing and it appears that may be it, unless some players impress at NHL summer development camps. Now July represents the period where newly drafted recruits weigh the CHL offers with NHL team input.

                              Interesting. I'd be surprised if there are no more early departures but I'd agree there will be more incoming freshmen that head north.
