Re: Michigan Tech 2015 off-season I: Building on what we've learned...

It sounds like Blacklock, L'Esperance and Petan are the most likely players to fill the void at Center with Pietila and Kero leaving.
Lucchini is another possibility if he comes in this fall. Because of Blacklock, Anderson and Birks and no early departures it looks like the 2015 incoming class will be relatively small. The only 2 I know of for sure are Jackson and Boeing. Looks like herbst was right and Reinke will be returning to the USHL.

Defense is stacking up nicely now with Ford helping balance out classes a bit.
I have
2015 - Birks
2016 - Ford (So), Reinke, Watson
2017 - Gingell, Rostagno (possible that Watson is here and one of those is 2016)

Offense
2015 Jackson, Boeing, possibly Lucchini
2016 Hannoun, Kauppila, Gerrie, Gould if Lucchini is 2015
2017 Newsome, Williamson

I believe Lucchini and Redmond, possibly Ford are the only NLI to sign so far during this period

That puts the roster at only 27. I think they'd run at 28 or 29 at least. Maybe Mel's leaving room for some last minute steals or for Cope/Kauppila to join the practice squad?

Tech tweeted that there's a Mel Pearson show on Monday at 10 AM ET. Questions: dj@themix93.com

I haven't sent anything, but I hope Dirk asks about NLIs, entering freshmen and non-conference scheduling.

Does this put us at 7 Dmen in the 2015-16 season? I would think they'd want 8 for injuries/play concerns.

We should have 8 but I'm not at liberty to say why yet...

That feels a little dirty... like dumping your current girlfriend to get back together with your Ex.
But I get it, once your a dirty swamp rat, you're always a dirty swamp rat... or whatever a Wolverine is.
Odds he gets named the head coach two years from now so they can battle Western in the best ex-NHLer as head coach contest??? I'll say steep, but there's a chance at 20:1.

One thing to listen for - there's a creative idea to get a single game with an eastern team right after the GLI. I'm not going to spill the beans any further yet, let's hear if Mel shows his hand first.

I've been saying for a while now that Tech/Northern should try to work with RPI/Union or Clarkson/St. Lawrence, to arrange a 2 year agreement, we travel there for a weekend and each play 1 game vs. each team. Then do the opposite the next season. But that isn't applicable for this situation, since that is a 2 game thing, not 1.
