        Miller is almost assuredly signing.
        Weissbach is staying, per that guy who wrote the Athletic profile on the draftees.

        Little else is “official”.

          Miller moving on would seem to be addition by subtraction. Spending some time in the AHL would be a good move for him at this point.

            He might get sent down to the ECHL the way he plays.

              Define positive. Unless any coaching changes happen there's little reason for hope/positivity.

                  What I'm wondering more is if rather than a coaching change happening ---> will the coaches change?

                    They haven't in 4 years, so the answer is probably no.

                    I went to the WHB luncheons last year all I heard was wait for this year, wait for this year. Still waiting......

                      You might be right, but one would think that given the "this is the year" nature of this season, the staff would be seriously questioning what they did or what went wrong. Post season SOP is pretty much tear everything you do down and look at it under a microscope. Will they do that and will that process produce changes in the system they want to play? The way they coach it? Anything?

                      I don't think Oz or Tony or Mark suddenly forgot how to play or coach hockey, (Eaves didn't suddenly "forget" either, that wasn't it. ) nor do I think any of them are dumb. They're pretty smart guys. The question is what are they doing now, why are they doing it, and why isn't it producing results?

                      Here's (obviously) the single most significant stat:

                      '17 3.28ga (46th) 20-15-1

                      '18 3.35ga (49th) 14-19-4

                      '19 3.51ga (53rd) 14-18-5

                      '20 3.75ga (57th) 14-20-2


                      Taking the top 14 PWR this year and all the at-large teams the preceding 3 years, only 2 teams (out of 56) had GAA over 3.00. In '18 MI @ 3.02gaa and PSU @ 3.06gaa. That's it. And only a couple of more teams were even over 2.5gaa.

                      Given that, it seems pretty clear that you can't just depend on outscoring teams as an overall strategy and expect positive results. It's too hard to do consistently and it's especially too hard in the B1G. (not to mention playing the #1 SOS in the country.)

                      And it is very clearly not just goaltending.

                      So I'm interested to see what, if anything they will look to do, systems wise and otherwise. Or if they'll just chalk it up to youth and keep plowing forward. (4.00 gaa here we come!)

                          This is the kind of stuff that needs to be taken to those fan relation meetings. With numbers like this that clearly show that what they have been doing isn't working, what are they going to do to correct matters? The shocking absence of a goaltending coach is certainly not helping matters either.

                          Again, I don't blame the goalies entirely for this drop off. If your defensive system (and how they players play) causes tons of chances to be sent your way, you will start taking on bad habits to compensate and those get exposed over time.

                          Something definitely needs to change and/or heads should roll.

                              Head coach retired/resigned and it is clear from reading some in the Vermont thread, they wanted nothing to do with Kevin.
