I sure hope Baldwin will go QMJHL. Omaha is such a disaster that the entire conference had to deal with Yegorov halfway through the year.
A lot of teams are going to be scrambling to fill some of the holes in their lineups with some of the younger kids making the jump to college. While the CHL media world is all doom and gloom, one good side effect for these kids is a lot more opportunities to prove themselves in a bigger role, helped by the resources CHL teams can provide.

Feels like the USHL is the one league with the most to lose here. Yes, CHL players coming to play for a US college team is happening, and that's a good point about players waiting until being drafted (or not) by NHL teams. If you're 18, drafted and not gonna jump to the NHL, playing against many older players feels like it's the smart route for CHL players to continue developing, instead of thinking they're NHL ready, then bumped to the AHL. A lot of AHL-age players on NCAA rosters, would make more sense to climb the proverbial ladder to develop, instead of being set up to fail. As for the USHL, I hope with them losing players this gives other kids a chance to develop that would've had those roster spots lost if the CHL-route players hadn't left.

Ritter Coombs will be spending a season with the Erie Otters, so push back his arrival at least one year. His hometown is 45 minutes from Erie and his dad played 4 seasons in the OHL, so it's a little bit of a perfect storm opportunity for him. If Providence was wanting some of the arrivals to push back their freshman year, Coombs might not have taken much convincing.
felt like they decided to hold him for Sept ‘26 first, then went after the CHL/Usport players. Think they’d like to see him play bit more disciplined hockey as had 170 penalty minutes regular and playoffs this past year
Bigger surprise was seeing Kolin Sisson going to Chicago Steel camp. Him not coming has Friars at 25 players on roster.

Everett Baldwin drafted by Saint John Sea Dogs 2nd round 38th overall
if you want to watch him going forward it’ll be mostly in english. that’s Saint John New Brunswick also, the new St John franchise is just called Newfoundland Regiment

The Sisson and Coombs moves are smart to give them playing time they may not have gotten with PC this coming season. I don't think another year before campus hurts either guy. PC might lose Malinoski, Gamache or Adams after the new season, so it opens spots.
