Maine can't get a top ten pick because they don't have a coach who can sell the program to a top ten pick. Nothing has changed

Poor Coaching and losing never sells.

Just saw that and a 4th round pick...figured he would not be taken till late like the 6th or 7th round...has Binner been selected..?

Not yet, I think your right, looks like there are still quite a few higher ranked players who are still waiting.

Watching here; http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl-draft/tracker/2017/

NHL network is broadcasting it, but the Direct TV satellite is screwing up.

Re-Checked the Draft from rounds 1 thru 7...looks as though Jeremy Swayman is the only Maine player Drafted. I thought Binner would go late.

I got the impression he didn't have a very good season. It was a big step up in competition going to the USHL.

Congratulations to the greatest college hockey player ever on making the hall of fame. Now we just need to get him to come back to Orono once in awhile.

You very well could be right...that's too bad and I hope he thinks it over and does attend...but it is his business and whatever he chooses I myself will respect how he feels about it. But he was quite a Player @ Maine and in College Hockey...and that to go along with his NHL Career. He was a special type of player that you don't see too often...just glad I did witness it and it was a thrill in what he and his team-mates did that great year in '92-93. Thanks #9..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most definitely the best college player I've ever seen. An absolute threat each and every time he was out on the ice. For an opposing fan, he was just ... scary.

16 guys on academic team, rather have 16 flunk outs and a title :). Seriously, good job in the class room

Why wouldn't he attend? I'm not up to speed...

Schedule is out, it's more or less what we expected. The Portland game will be the Saturday BU game, which makes a lot of sense logistically. Maine has no Sunday games but games on a Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday which is a bit strange. Overall though I think it's probably as good of schedule as they've had in awhile.

And that same Saturday football is home to Stony Brook, there are state HS football championship games at Fitzy, and an Elton John concert in Bangor......

Does that mean that the previous night's BU game in Orono coincides with one of the state football games on campus? Or are they no longer hosting one of the four in Orono?

Has anyone heard any news or rumors about where Blaine Byron might end up? I didn't see his name on any development camp lists and haven't heard anything.

I believe he has to wait another month before he can sign or do anything. I don't think he would have gone to the development camp where he is bailing on them.

He has to wait to sign as a Free Agent, as he opted out of signing with Pittsburgh...his date to be able to sign a contract with another NHL Team is August 15th.
