Boston University 2018-2019 - Still Alive!

Re: Boston University 2018-2019 - Still Alive!

A couple quick comments on the x-Terriers:

- Congrats to Fabbro on his first NHL goal. What a snipe.
- Bobo also got his first pro goal in the AHL.
- Nice season by Chiasson, setting career highs. Edmonton is a mess, will be interesting to see if they re-sign him, or if he even decides to entertain other offers, that I expect will be coming after his 22-goal season.
- And speaking of 22-goal seasons for teams that are a mess, I have to admit that Brady Tkachuk far exceeded what I thought he was capable of at this age. He ended up as the third leading scorer on the team (45-points), and goal-scoring leader.
- Eichel finally had a (relatively) injury free year and ended with 82 points. We'll see if the Sabres can keep the momentum for a whole season next year. E-Rod chipped in with 29 points.
- I was surprised to see that Keller still led the Coyotes in scoring, with 47 points. He really cooled off in the second half after being names to the All-Star team. He only had 3 goals since January 20th.
- For the Bruins, McAvoy had a tough first half but returned to form in the second half and finished with 28 points, finishing only behind Krug for d-men. Grzelcyk had a heck of a season, cementing his spot as a regular with his great stickwork and skating. He chipped in 18 points. JFK spent most of the year in Providence, and Charlie Coyle provided much needed stability to the third line (though I think he only had 2 goals post trade).
 
I think so. Honestly going to PC is a no brainer for Lackey IMO. I am sure he has aspirations to play professionally after school and PC will be a much better team than BU next season so his chances of receiving a pro deal is better given the PC route. Lackey is looking at 1 season only. PC plays a defensive game in a tight rink = much better for goalie and goalie stats.

You know the scouts actually watch the games and not just look at the stats.

I love watching Grzelcyk play. His value was evident when he was out recently. Will be interesting to see if the Bruins believe he can elevate his offensive output. Krug is a defensive train wreck and a more offensive minded Grizz might make Krug expendable.

Similarly, I really like Coyle’s game and hope it is a difference maker in the playoffs. Wish he, like Grizz, would look for more offensive opportunity.

Right, and I would think that if Leaman got the same offer that Quinn got last year, he'd very likely take it. A big-market Original 6 team throwing $12M guaranteed, I'd be shocked if Leaman didn't accept. That NYR job and the Bruins one I floated would be two that fall in the "very small number of jobs" category. Also don't forget that DQ also turned down at least one prior offer from NYR as well.

I don't care if its Edmonton making the offer. $12M guaranteed is what it is. Take their money and do your time up there. With 12 million bucks you can move wherever you'd like afterwards!

Great night for John Hynes and David Quinn at the NHL Draft lottery, earning the #1 and #2 picks. Devils get the top pick for the second time in three years.

You guys still looking for a grad transfer goalie? Ryan Ruck from NU is going to CC.

I think there should also be an 'almost old enough to rent a car without a surcharge' of the year award as well. Basket all the 24 year old seniors and give that guy an award.
