According to Jeremy Dewar, Baker and VanVliet are delayed to 2025 and will play in the USHL this year.

I assume Vansaghi is still on track for this fall? Interesting, as I believe he is very young, but I don’t pay too close attention to these things. However, I thought he was the most noticeable of the 3 when we played the U18’s last year.

That’s my understanding. Also hearing Mikey DeAngelo who had an impressive year at Green Bay will be arriving this year. DeAngelo and Vansaghi could be paired with Stramel.
 
Potter decommits. He wants to enroll this fall. If the rumors are true and he's going to Arizona State, he also probably wants top-six playing time.

Regardless, it's a bummer.

Very talented player, but jumping from U-17 to NCHC is a big one. That said, he might well be a 2 year player at ASU. If so we might get a chance to see him as I’ve been told ASU is on a future schedule.
 
So, who fills the Colorado College-sized hole in our schedule? Looks like it won't be anyone from Atlantic. (Their composite schedule was released today. MSU's on there, but in the places you'd expect - twice at Canisius at the end of October.)

I think Western had to bail on a series with BGSU due to a scheduling mishap so I know BG has 2 dates to spare but not the same weekend. Not ideal but it wouldn’t be hard to squeeze a home and home in somewhere. Would we insist on making up both home games or would CC’s cancellation fee soften that blow?

I doubt that Bowling Green would want to play both on the road since the planned Western series was a home and home. I also noticed that the AHA schedule had Robert Morris playing an exhibition game at BG that is not currently on BG's schedule.

Well, I was told by a MSU coach that the CC contract called for a sizable cancellation fee. In addition to a home and home (assuming RIT game is moved) I could see BG playing both at MSU either for a piece of that cash or return series at BG in a future year.

We should schedule Alaska-Anchorage for the newly-open weekend and give them CC's cancellation money. Two reasons:

1.) They'd be up for it.
2.) I would find it to be hilarious.
 
BG has added a Thursday game against Western..so not a likely MSU opponent. In looking at available schedules the school with that weekend open and available games is Augustana. They have a partial CCHA schedule this year before fully joining next year.

Augustana announced series with Omaha the weekend of Oct 18-19. It appears to still have 2 games available.
 
Augustana's AD Josh Morton also worked at Michigan State in athletic fundraising earlier in his career, so he would definitely be approachable.

F Gavin O'Connell invited to San Jose Sharks dev camp.

Sharks fan here, what can you tell me about him?

Good Freshman year as left winger with 15 goals in 38 games. He was especially deadly against Ohio State. I had a brief interaction with him off the ice and he seemed like a really good kid.
