How does this affect the overall roster?
Well the defense will be fine. We will still have Babichuk, Kjellberg, Hallbauer, Ferner, Johnson and Klee (as far as I know). Sertti and Davies were also players I thought would contribute as freshmen.
The goalies will be in rough shape. Watson and Miller will both be freshmen. No goalies with D1 experience on the roster. They desperately need to find a transfer with starting experience here.
The forwards are a wildcard. Lots of youth as there will be at least the 6 freshmen from this season and probably more than that factoring in the 2021 enrollees. With Ashbrook's transfer, only 3 forwards that were in the top 9 last season will be back (Linden, Leppanen, Dubinsky). The other returning forwards were all depth guys last season (Lee, Bowman, Mahshie, Lacka, Herrman). There's lots of talent in this freshman class, but you can't rely on immediate impacts from so many freshmen despite their talent. I really hope that DS can convince Sellar to stay instead of going pro or going to med school. We could really use his experience and leadership on this team. I'll say the same thing about Billy Jerry. They might even want to add another transfer here although it's not as dire as the goaltending.
