Kind of wished that WMU guys deciding to leave early had made that decision this year before we spent a weekend out there getting our butts kicked!

Re: Early Departures

Turk-appreciate all these postings but I have a question. Does it appear that this is an unusual amount of early departures or am I just more aware of them (thanks to you)? Also, are we seeing fellows leaving earlier as former freshmen and sophomores than in the past??

So far this is a lot less than normal as a lot of players expected to leave ended up deciding to stay another year. There were 46 early departures last year, 34 early departures 2 years ago, and 38 early departures 3 years ago. For now, we only have 18 this offseason.

Should be noted that he actually was able to get his undergrad degree in 3 years. Likely made it easier to sign a contract

You would think given the uncertainty of what the school year will look like in September or beyond that more kids would decide to leave. Does an entry level contract guarantee any money if the NHL starts late as well?

There are several players who were on the fence that have already decided to return so if there's no 2020-21 or a delay in the season, I wonder and have no idea if players could change their mind and go pro instead. There's a lot of unknown right now but all we can do is assume there will be a season until it's officially announced what the changes are if any.

I don't think they get any money for 2019-20 season and wouldn't get any money until 2020-21 season starts. I'm not an expert on this but I read something about this somewhere before.

21 early departures so far...
