UNH 2025 Offseason: Where in the World is MS7?

Great story on the sister of a former UNH stalwart on defense from 2000-2004 Mick Mounsey. Mick finished his career a +68!!! His sister was pretty good too :)
Let us compare:

Mick Mounsey, Concord, NH, 44 points, +68, 1 ECHL game

Alex Gagne, Bedford, NH, 48 points, +4, number of pro games TBD
 
Every once in awhile, some smart aleck fan would yell out at Mick Mounsey with the ultimate "insult", usually some slant on how Tara was better than him ...
 
Poor Mick Mounsey... the image of him that lives on forever is him sliding into his own goal in Buffalo trying to stop Vanek's dangle/goal into the wide open net after drawing Mike Ayers out of the crease into another zip code. Insane patience by Vanek to hold onto the puck. I forget if a still image of that sequence was the one that resulted in the photoshopping of a beach ball behind Ayers that used to circulate on here back in the good old days (or as Chuck once said, before this board turned into Oprah's Book Club or something to that effect).
 
Let's face it ... last year's team underachieved, and badly so. So none of the returning guys is entitled to anything. Souza may be the only person right now who knows all these guys, but he's never seen them in the same room, or on the same ice surface. He might (should) have some ideas of potential leaders, and can probably rule out more than half of the players on basic issues, such as passive personalities, or being unlikely to hold down a regular shift for 35-40 games.
Minus last year's bad juju the 'cats are good for an extra five wins this season assuming competent goal tending.

I think that the Cats will need exceptional (vs competent) goaltending this season to succeed, like two years ago with Helsten. Da Whale was merely competent in net last season, which was not good enough to compensate for the lack of snipers. Which of the four goaltenders, if any, on the roster will step up for prime time this season?
