Boston University Terriers 2026 Offseason Thread

Agree on Lawrence's upside. Pando pointed out that at the end of the season, he was BU's top forward. For the upcoming season, he'll have a full pre-season to develop chemistry with linemates and some added motivation after falling in the draft to #11. Eli Cloutier wrote a good piece on Lawrence in his substack.

For the offense to get back close to where it was in the first 3 Pando seasons, the other returning wings (Murtagh, Fondrk, Merrill) and newcomers Olsen and Norringer will need to capitalize on the playmaking strengths of the center group.

Quite a bit of scuttlebutt that Matt Gilroy will return to BU as an addition to the coaching staff this season. The NCAA is voting later this summer to allow an unlimited number of coaches on staff who can provide on-ice and in-game coaching, so it seems like he'd be joining in a new position and no one else would be leaving the staff.

I am hearing that Gilroy is likely going back to BU in a player development role.

Wow. Mac Celebrini signs NHL's richest-ever contract before what would have been his senior year at BU. Harder and harder to resist one-and-done.

I was kinda surprised not one social media outlet that I saw tied his contract extension announcement to Shark Week! What a missed opportunity.
