Saying BU is much more desirable for a "free agent" than BC is laughable but that's Lemonade for you. We don't even know what went into his decision. Plus BC already attracted one of the top goalies and forwards on the market. I did laugh at him calling someone else biased though. Nobody is landing EVERY transfer out there.

And BU might be returning a lot of players but they did lose a pretty big piece in Farrance. Not to mention the advanced metrics were not kind to BU. If that continues I wouldn't expect the same winning percentage. Without knowing if there will be any more transfers to the two schools I am not expecting a big difference in the standings between the two teams. BC is still returning a lot of good players and I'd like to actually see the transfers play in a game. It could take some time early on but I still expect BC to become a good team next year and be in the hunt for NCAAs.

I wouldn't either but then again I haven't really dug in on what other teams look like for next year. Knight was good but he didn't have to carry a team like a Swayman did for Maine. BC will be a better defensive team next year and by all accounts Dop is a very good goalie. I think it will come down to the continued progression of McLaughlin and McBain along with Nesterenko/Ambrosio/Kuntar building off the solid years they had.
Off the top of my head I would think Michigan might be #1. They better take advantage before all their guys bolt.

Knight starting tonight for FLA. I have to admit I am VERY surprised by that. I know he was on the bench for their last game, which I assumed was to burn a year off of his ELC. But to throw him into the NHL so quickly? Seems like there isn't much upside, but a lot of downside (if he gets lit up).BU Hockey: The trophy case is once again growing

BU was not very good this year, especially up front. I’m not sure why anyone would be excited about returning that group of forwards. I’m sure there will be more departures as well over the next couple of months.
BC returns a good group of forwards and Kruse is a strong addition to that group. What BC needed was a big stay at home defenseman and they got Wells to check that box. They also have a very solid group of older freshmen coming in including Mike Posma the USHL player of the week.
Go Eagles!

"BU with 95% of its players returning vs BC who lost their all world goalie and entire 1st line (Boldy/Newhook/Hardman/Hutsko).....if you are a hockey player and want a chance at winning a NC then BU is closer than BC is today. Are either BU or BC the top tier of NC contenders? Maybe or maybe not but BU is ahead of BC anyway you look at right now. So in summary:
BU got better
BC got worse by alot"
We will find out next Fall but both teams have the same coaching staff, advantage BC. It will be UMass BC and BU, everyone else is fighting for home ice, except Vermont and Mac they will be at the bottom looking up.
