I believe that Brock James and Nick Peluso are the other forwards committed for next season aside from Will Gerrior.

You can follow in the link Ineverquit put in the Maine recruits thread.
Nick Peluso, Will Gerrior, and Brock James are the only known forward coming in.
Loic Usereau and Jeremy Langlois are the only known defensemen coming in.
I speculate three more forward will be brought in, likely all capable of playing center.
Barr has done great in the portal. At the same time it would be wonderful if he can land some high scorers from the CHL.
I don’t see a reason he can’t land some top scorers from the CHL. If he isn’t, then it is likely he doesn’t prefer the top scorers that might be cockier as compared to the more humble hard working blue collar types.

There are guys who are both out there. We just need to get them here.

Sacha Boisvert is probably the biggest name in the portal right now. He's rumored to be headed to Hockey East. That usually means BC or BU, but I'm going to be delusional optimistic until he signs

His dad brought quite a bit to the fan experience.
He did for sure.

He is North Dakota’s 1st line center. That would fit well with Maine! But he could be going for NIL money at BC or BU.
How much NIL is Maine working with?

Also in the portal is his left wing line mate on that 1st line, Owen McLaughlin. Sign them both up for Maine.

According to Mike McMahon both are likely Boston bound. It would be nice to get them at Maine, but I'd be shocked if they could afford them. Boisvert is Canadian but UND fans seem sure he's leaving for money.

I don’t know. I think nobody really knows unless you are on the coaching staff or work for AD office. And now evidently it can be revenue sharing. So maybe there is a bump in ticket prices to generate money?

Ya, tight lipped for sure. I know a few of the guys had deals with Orono Brewing and the like.

Cavanaugh & Pandolfo (???) are finalists for Spencer Penrose Award. WTF?

It's automatically the conference coaches of the year + Frozen Four coaches.

To the victor go the spoils.
To be honest, I think Barr should win a couple NCAA games before he gets any type of coach of the year.

Noah Houle is in the portal. Played this year at Lindenwood with 16 points as a defenseman with 4 goals. 3 years of eligibility.

It's Pretty Late Here
Here's a question for all you big-brained hockey folks - Given the results of the tournament thus far, do you think it's possible that the HE teams built their teams to be HE competitive maybe over nationally competitive? After watching all but one of the games thus far (missed bc denver), the non-HE teams just seemed to have some different dimensions to their play. I was just curious.
