Re: Boston College: It's Trophy Time
Let's see, you have to figure McCoshen and Demko are next!
Hey, Quinn is cutting Robbie B. Does he have to sit out a year? Would Quinn cut someone and then also block a transfer to a rival school?

Re: Boston College: It's Trophy Time
This is becoming a train wreck. You have to figure a key consideration for each player is how competitive or not competitive the team will be next year, so each player that leaves early provides additional motivation for others to leave early.
Hard to see at this point what the motivation would be for Demko or McCoshen to stay. Or White. Or even Ryan Fitzgerald.

Re: Boston College: It's Trophy Time
Correct
This has me thinking back to Sean fields who if he left after his jr yr would have cashed in huge. Instead he came back to a much weaker squad and put up horrible numbers.... Blowing any shot of cashing in.
So cangelosi is left thinking "do I have a shot at 15g next year?!? Let alone another 20?"

Re: Boston College: It's Trophy Time
I understand what you're saying but ultimately I don't think that would make or break it for any of these guys. Not sure anyone saw Gilmour leaving. And Tuch could have benefited from another year. Kreider was drafted basically right where Tuch was and he got three years in. Those are the two I "question" (from a fan's perspective, not a player's perspective). The rest are very easily explainable.
Anyway, if Heisenberg is accurate:
Demko--Woll
McCoshen--Mattila
Santini--McInnis
Doherty--Moore
Jeke--Campoli
Silk--Booth
Tuch--Cotton
Gilmour--McPhee
McMullen--Hutsko
Wood
1. Probably looking for another body, whether that's a walk on etc I have no idea
2. Woll, Campoli, Hutsko all listed as 2016 or 2017

Re: Boston College: It's Trophy Time
Kreider came back to play on a national championship team that won it's last 19 games and gets to be in the conversation of the greatest BC teams of all time. Do you think he really would have turned down the money to come back to a team that looked like it might struggle to eke out a tournament berth? I'm thinking that's doubtful.

Re: Boston College: It's Trophy Time
Easy to forget that that team was floundering during the middle of the year, were they not? Do you know that's why Kreider came back? Just to win a national championship? Or was it also best for his personal development as a player?

Re: Boston College: It's Trophy Time
Yes, they were. But the relevant factor for this analysis is that the team looked like a legitimate contender heading into the season. I'm the extra year of development didn't hurt, but I'm sure the unfinished business after the first round loss the prior season combined with the appearance that the 2011-2012 would be a contender had to be part of his consideration.

Re: Boston College: It's Trophy Time
He came back to get 3 years of school in so he could get his degree easily after going pro. He sure as heck didn't come back so he could simply compete for a national title.

Re: Boston College: It's Trophy Time
wow who peed in everyone's cheerios over the last 24 hours? we should probably shut down the program
the team will be fine.
btw I think the kreider / tuch comparison from a skill pov is perfect. both have jump off the page NHL talents but would disappear for far too long. they were both were / are a ton of fun to watch but at times frustrating.
edit: as for the Robbie b, I certainly would welcome him on the team next year.
