Interesting theory that talented players will leave situations where they are unfairly (merit) bypassed for opportunities by less-talented upperclassmen...

Discuss - has running a once premier college hockey program like a MA HS been good or bad for UNH Hockey/Umile??

My guess is it has!

Old 599, particularly the longer he has been in Durham, has favored the seniors more and more. Even when Haydar was a freshman scoring 60 points it was "shocking" he was on the first line at all. I have been told stories the he doesn't really interact much (or speak) with the freshman (who are scared of him) and by the time they are seniors he is there coach/friend/confidant. 599 finally lost me when it became obvious that he would rather put a player on the ice that was consistently sucky rather than somebody who would flash greatness and then do something sucky.

High end talent wants to be in a meritocracy, in all walks of life.

It is another advantage with tinkering with lines during early season games. It give people a chance to show what hey can do.

Another example look at the Bruins this year vs under Claude. Claude would never be play all those "kids"... can't trust them.
