Why does he seem to believe that he will be a free agent after just 3 years and not 4 years from the time he was drafted?

IIRC, it has to do w the CBA and draft rights... If they aren't signed by like 3 years August the something-ish they become FAs

If they aren't signed by August 15 after their senior year they become free agents. That's why Buffalo is the only team that can even talk to Vesey for the next 6 weeks.
 
Re: Lowell, 2016 Off-Season Thread

I came across this tweet this morning. Its from early June.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/UMassLowell">@UMassLowell</a> Chancellor Moloney tells Morning Show a hockey practice rink & hotel/convention center more in play due to Perkins purchase</p>— 980 WCAP (@980wcap) <a href="https://twitter.com/980wcap/status/740163160250929153">June 7, 2016</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Link to audio from the interview is here:

Edit: Skip to the 14 min mark to hear about the rink. Unfortunately not much substance, but at least its still part of the plans.

Being a transfer from Amherst would mean he has to sit for 1 year. I was surprised with that they introduced
10 new players. Is anybody else besides Louria not returning?

I'm not sure. They did bring in a second goaltender (Wall) with this class. Four goaltenders competing for ice time. It should be interesting.

I took the tour of the renovated locker room. They did a great job.

They also brought in another defenseman (Goransson). It appears there will be 9 defensemen on the roster this season, one more than last season.

I was thinking Townsend and Berisha might not come back due to limited playing time last season, however since they were there last night they must still be on the roster.

Expecting big things from Goransson, potentially could be very Christian Folin-esque. I believe he was actually supposed to have been on team last year but had to take a couple classes from what I heard to be eligible.
