Guess I should have believed my guy last night I thought he had too many whiskeys...fu*k.

Poirier to the portal...f*ck. Per Mike McMahon

This isn't good

Likely to big 10, shocked i tell ya

Poirier is obviously an offensive talent but I’m not sure he’s the type of team player that wins you a NC. Yes I’m trying to spin this into something positive.

I've said numerous times that I expected basically an entirely new locker room for next year, but the reality of it still really sucks. I'd guess Barr went scorched earth, combined with a few guys that wanted more $.

McMahon says he may be headed to Big 10. Did a team buy him off the Maine roster?

I'd guess Michigan or Penn State.

on the bright side there appear to be a number of drafted players also entering so here's hoping.

If this is true, not at all surprised.

I guess that Poirier’s “injury” wasn’t too bad if Big Ten teams are going to pay him Big Bucks.

 

[BlackBearHockeyFan]

Get to renew season tickets tomorrow at least.

last year there was portal page with the schools and players on the portal. Anyone have a link for this years page?

Mike McMahon has a google doc for his subscribers on substack, I'm leery to link to it because it's a pay feature. If you subscribe it's linked on his site.

Looks like Poirier, Northeastern's Dylan Compton, and Vermont's Caeden Harrington are all headed to the Badgers.

There will be a lot of uncomfortable conversations about where Hockey East as a whole sits in the grand scheme of things

As in all NCAA sports, unfortunately. If you aren't in the Big Ten or SEC, "what are we doing here?" is going to be a fraught question.

Gopher Puck maintains there: Poirier not in there yet--but I think that's a matter of time.

Search and sort through the NCAA Hockey Transfer Portal for both Men & Women.

I posted this on another thread.

To paraphrase Billy Beane in Moneyball, the schools with little or no NIL money are organ donors for the teams that have the big dough. Very unfortunate situation for the have nots.

Caeden Harrington is a Vermont kid that was a big get for UVM. Now he's gone after one year.
