Quinnipiac
They do have a great recruiting class. I also wouldn't be shocked if they don't have a winning season although they probably will.Please tell me you are kidding.
After graduating 11 seniors from a Frozen Four team at a school with zero history of success? That will have only 9 upper classmen on the entire roster this season? That lost its senior goaltender and most of it's defense corps? Only 5 or 6 guys that played a big role in last season are gonna be back.
I'd not be shocked if Quinnipiac doesn't even have a winning season. Not saying they won't, however.
There is no way this team duplicates last season on probably just about any level. I'd be shocked if they even just got back in the tourney this season.
