    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Last Poirier note as he's no longer a Black Bear, but seeing a lot of the boys posts on social media, it is truly astonishing how in almost every group photo he's not there. I'd guess this story goes a lot deeper than just what was on-ice. Best of luck to him at PSU.

    Will there be a louder boo at the Alfond next year than if Justin Poirier takes the ice for BU? (seen speculation they're in on him as well as Penn State)

    So uhhhh, how many of those Alfond bucks can we throw at Sascha Boumedienne? Hahaha.

    Mildly interesting that Poirier is still not officially in the portal.

    If I remember correctly Stockfish was a BIG dude - and we could use some size. Additionally would fit the build of us taking transfers from smaller universities that we played in non conference games since Barr has been there. Bentley transfers / Mitton from Colgate....

    I completely agree with this.

    I want to be careful in wording this because I don't feel it's right to sh-t on leaving players, as I was very excited to watch Poirier this year and missed him greatly post-injury. From night one, his demeanor didn't look like a Barr culture guy. Just the way he carries himself doesn't seem to...

    Pretty sure it's McKenna getting $700K, who's about to go 1/1 in the draft. Insane money regardless, but justifiable to some degree.

    I think is less of a Maine issue as much as this is a sign of the times in college sports. Football and Basketball has turned into glorified Free Agency for players trying to get as much NIL money as possible....hockey is just catching up at a smaller scale. I do not blame the kids at all for...

    I'd guess Michigan or Penn State.

    I've said numerous times that I expected basically an entirely new locker room for next year, but the reality of it still really sucks. I'd guess Barr went scorched earth, combined with a few guys that wanted more $.

    Poirier to the portal...f*ck. Per Mike McMahon

    Certainly a handful of names that are a bummer to lose, but IF that's all....I think Barr can overcome it. Obviously the biggest question is who's heading to Orono. Time will tell! Portal only open for 15 days, correct?
