I know there was an "underclassmen" thread, but I'd like to include juniors leaving. :) I see that USCHO has a page now, but this can be a spot to break a few of the signings. I just started with a few.

-UMD sophomore D Chris Casto just signed with the Bruins organization
-UNO junior D Andrej Sustr signed with the Lightning organization
-LSSU junior F Kellen Lain signed with the Canucks organization
-LSSU sophomore F Buddy Robinson signed with the Senators organization
-UM junior D Jon Merrill signed with the Devils organization (drafted '10)
-WMU junior D Dan DeKeyser signed with the Red Wings organization
-UMass junior D Connor Allen signed with the Rangers organization
-Notre Dame junior F Anders Lee signed with the Islanders organization (drafted '09)
-BU junior F Matt Nieto signed with the Sharks organization (drafted '11)

From what I saw of Sustr I wasn't overly impressed. Seen him six times live, countless on TV (yet none at the X, weird...) and he was an ok collegiate player. Of course he is a tall drink of co... er... water and you can't teach size, so enjoy Syracuse
 
Re: 2013 Early Departures

Most people know by now, but Jon Merrill signed with the Devils. I believe he's the first big name to leave early that would've played in the Big Ten's inaugural season. Trouba may be next to leave.

DeKeyser chooses the Wings.

Congrats on the FA contract. Not sure he had that great of a year as the 23 year old junior finished a -1 on a pretty good defense-oriented team with a top goalie at WMU.

Stay at home physical defenseman.

Re: 2013 Early Departures

Not an early departure but I'm too exicted not to post about it. Danny Dekeyser signs with the Detroit Red Wings... He reports for practice tomorrow! Go Broncos!

Welcome to the internet. It is an early departure and we already discussed it lol. Apparently Massachusetts D Connor Allen has signed with the Rangers association.
 
Re: 2013 Early Departures

Just reported on Twitter. Matt Nieto, Jr forward on the Boston University Terriers just signed with The Sharks. He's reporting to Worcester.
 
Re: 2013 Early Departures

Congrats to Quinnipiac's Matthew Peca.

7th round Lightning Draft Pick Matthew Peca signed today with Tampa Bay getting a rumored $300,000 signing bonus to join the team for tomorrow night's game versus rival Florida Panthers. The 5ft 9in 165lb Peca is foregoing the opportunity to play with his Quinnipiac team in the NCAA Frozen Four but told the Tampa Bay News, "It's a dream come true to get paid to do something I love" and "I couldn't pass up the chance". Lightning coach Jon Cooper anticipates slotting Peca into the number one line for a couple of shifts telling the Journal, "This kid scored the fastest natural hat trick in NCAA history, so we're eager to strike while the iron is hot."
