2011. Ridiculous group of forwards. 4th liners that made it to NHL.

My bad.
Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!
2011 was the most stacked roster we’ve probably ever had.
I am seeing reports that all the big names are returning... Hutsko, Boldy, Newhook (old news), and Knight. Is this all confirmed and reliable?
Do we have a captain named yet? Going to be an important piece of the puzzle.

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!
Rasanen, Hardman, McBain and McLaughlin are good complimentary pieces to the guys coming back. Looks like another solid crop of forwards coming in. Not like Newhook and Boldy but good players on paper. This is one situation where they look to be well suited to absorb losing that huge senior class. Not sure what the numbers are but wonder if they would be in the market for a grad transfer on defense.

Rasanen isn't coming back - he's gone to Finland.

That's disappointing, but if nobody else leaves, they'll be fine. He'd have been a solid contributor though.

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!
I agree it is too bad because he is a solid forward good on faceoffs and PP. Just speculating but at the end of the year he wound up on the 4th line when Giles went down. He was not a 4th line center in his Junior year. He was a team player offered to give up his spot so that could Merula could play his last game on BC ice. York said after the game it was a the first time in his 48 years that any player offer to sit under those circumstances.

Next year will be interesting for sure. They will be very good, but I’m not sure if they’ll be elite enough to contend for a national championship. I’m hoping they get Tim Doherty (the Maine grad transfer). He’d provide great forward depth. Goaltending will be elite (obviously) with Knight in net again. The forward group will have a great top two lines. The success of the bottom two lines will be imperative to the success of our season. I’m fairly optimistic about the forwards though. The real concern comes on defense. One senior (Karow) and no juniors. The third d-pairing is going to be BRUTAL as of right now. They will need to bring in at least one more D-man before the start of the season since we only have 6 D right now. Here’s a glimpse at how the forward lines and d-pairings might look next year:
Hardman - Newhook - Boldy
McBain - Ambrosio - Hutsko
Nesterenko - Giles - Weight
Roy - McLaughlin - Joyce
(Posma and Carreau were omitted)
Karow - Helleson
Warren - Powell
Agnew - Andres

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!
If you return Hutsko, Newhook, Boldy and Knight to go with guys like McBain, McLaughlin and Hardman...that's plenty to compensate for a weaker backend of the roster. I'll have to look at the list of recruits but the trio of forwards is very good. Ambrosio, Nesterenko, and Weight all had good years. Think you forgot Tim Lovell on defense and I don't think Joyce will be a regular.

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!
Posma probably has an edge on Roy too. With Rasanen leaving I could definitely see them in the market for a grad transfer though.
They also have Stephen Davis on defense. No matter how the D shakes out there's no question that will be the biggest area of concern.

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!
But with that said, I don't see any reason they couldn't compete for a national title based on returning firepower and Knight alone. I guess as long as they get something from Ambrosio, Nesterenko and Weight which I think they will.

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!
Looking back to what York did in previous years when Defense was a little understaffed he always took a forward and developed one into a defenseman either as a regular Dman or quite often as a PP Dman. It could even be one of the better forwards. Remember how he did it with Brian Boyle. Who on this squad do you think may fit that bill? McLaughlin was a great 2 way player.

As this thread runs out I can only say that this was one of my favorite teams. Lots of skill and hustle. My only regret is not having the opportunity to knock Cornell out of the tourney. Looking forward to next season!
Feel free to finish this one while I start another for next season.

Man, don't even get me started on that one again. You remember how that ended, right?

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!
Take solace Pro, we knocked them out in the simulation. I like this team as well, particularly the top line and the emergence of the Freshmen line. Those 25 wins were without Giles for much of the season. He was a solid 4th line center and good on the PK. Glad Hutsko is coming back, he is one of my favorite players over the past 4 years. Lots of good things to look forward to for next year, if there is a next year for hockey.

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!
What a way to end a thread. Rehashing 2007. If Boyle wasn't robbed by Jeff Lerg it would have ended differently. His gaffe after that faceoff that led to the tie goal certainly jumps out. However they probably never would have been in that game if he wasn't transferred to Defense.
