One could argue that is why both Yale and Union won a NC, older more experienced players who also were pretty good. I think a good 23 and 24 year old has an advantage over a good 19 and 20 year old. Wisconsin - maybe they just weren't that good.Originally posted by ScoobyDoo View PostComment

Warning is undrafted and I can't see any team willing to throw money at him at this stage. Not at his size and with the inconsistency he showed this year.Originally posted by Stauber1 View Post
I could maybe see Ambroz given his size and the family's financial situation. But I kind of doubt he will.
I highly doubt it with Boyd. He won't even be 21 til next fall. I'm sure he'll finish out and sign with Washington next spring.
The whole free agent thing is a little overstated. It is mainly fear of losing your truly top prospects where that becomes a concern. A team will retain their rights til August after they graduate (in the case of Boyd and Ambroz. Both of whom were drafted in 2011).
I've given up on Isackson as any kind of significant contributor. He's always had very good hands but he is too slow with his decisions. Turns the puck over too much.The other thing I would bring up is the possibility of losing some of the lesser-played guys to transfer. Michaelson jumps out at me as a possibility. So does Isackson, although with him only having 1 year of eligibility left I think the likelihood diminishes. I know some people love to hate on Isackson, but I think he is better than people give him credit for and it's always nice to have that kind of depth going into a season. MAybe there's an injury, or maybe he works his balls off and comes out next year and is a big contributor in some kind of role.
I'd like to see AJ get a shot at a consistent lower line spot next year. I think he has it in him to do something in that type of role. Sort of play like Condon did a few years ago (though likely less offensive production).Last edited by Hammy; 04-16-2014, 12:46 PM.Comment

My correction!! Just a hasty post to share the news of your terrific player ! Kind of like how we feel when people call us UNH fans UHN and dumb stuff like that..Originally posted by Bleed Maroon and Gold View Post
Totally not meant to annoy 
. Unfortunately he ended up getting a 10 min major so it was quite the debut! They play again Friday and I think Gostibehere will debut in that one...Looks like he (Serratore) has a great future in front of him. And, congrats on a great season...

Two years in a row that Minny was eliminated by an ECAC team. Next year will be Quinnipiac's turn to send Minny packing.Comment

With three of their top five scorers lost to graduation plus Brabant leaving early, the Pussycats might have an even harder time scoring a goal next season LOL.

Couple surprises (at least to me):Originally posted by goldy_331 View Post
Home and home with SCSU and UMD,
Only one game at BC (we just had 3 against them here the last two years, and I expect they will be pumped up and be hard to beat with several years of the most lopsided losses out of trips to Mpls they've had in some time)Go Gophers!Comment
