UML 2013/2014 Season, II ... May I have another?

Re: UML 2013/2014 Season, II ... May I have another?

There is still a chance, albeit a small one, for Lowell to get a #1 seed I believe.

While a #1 seed would be great, the fact that Minnesota, BC, and Union are already locked as #1 seeds (and the Top 3) in means that the final #1 seed will be sent to Cincinnati. Personally, I'd rather see them in Bridgeport or Worcester as a #2 seed.

No question, I definitely agree. Was just throwing that out there.

Hey guys, any update on Chapie? I am nervous enough with the game against ND, however losing talent like Chapie makes me even more nervous

If Lowell ends up #5 in PWR, they'll most likely be going to Cincy as well. Union and BC are already locked into Worcester and Bridgeport.

It was a precautionary move apparently so I don't see a reason why he'd be out for Friday.
I was pretty worried as well. He really plays a huge part for our offense.

I seriously doubt we'll find out anything before the line chart comes out Friday afternoon. It's the playoffs and Norm Belichick is the coach. (Credit to Justin for that)

The consensus on twitter appears to be that Folin will be signed as soon as Lowell's season is done.

I saw that too Monty.

@chrismpeters @TSNBobMcKenzie Talked to a Kings scout that was looking at him at BC about a month ago. Said every team is looking at him.

I can't look it up right now as I have to head to a meeting, but I believe it was Mike McMahon that said it's almost a 100% guarantee according to one scout.
 
Re: UML 2013/2014 Season, II ... May I have another?

Here's another one ....
Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonCHN 2h
Text from an NHL exec on Lowell D Christian Folin: "He'll have 15 NHL offers on the table as soon as his NCAA season ends. We'll be 1."

On all this Folin buzz, does "signed' mean drafted and continues to play college or does signed mean gone? Obviously I'm just a dumb fan but Folin doesn't seem to me to be ready for NHL or AHL hockey. I don't think he's anywhere near as good now as Chad Ruhwedel was for UML last year and Chad has spent most of the year in Rochester.

Once he's signed a contract (getting money), he's gone.

If you're drafted (like Hellbuyck), you can play college as you're not signed to a contract, the team just owns your rights.

Ya know, this doesn't bother me. Yeah it sucks for next season but we are due for a come down. I'm more worried about picking up quality players. If 2016 is a good year I'm not going to cry about it.

Further, I'll take 2 solid years from a player. If he had a good time here then his experience will be an asset on down the road.

In a sense, he's graduating, just not academically.
