It does not matter that Tampa needs him or not what matters is how he showcases as a pro he is going to be 22 in September and would be 24 by first pro season that is not ideal for any young draft prospect who has showed early promise like Colton has - his family agent advisers certainly know this and you can bet that will be a heavy topic of conversation! Unless he comes back one more season and in that case he needs to score at least 30+ points and given that this is a bad team already and we saw all the work he had to do to even keep this team in games all by himself thats unlikely and hurts his long term career prospect he will def consider leaving and frankly should if not there is no way he'd stay for senior season he can't afford to do that because he will likely lose draft right status and leaving a lot of money on the table! Ross must thing about his future and the longer he is at UVM given his age and the team makeup the more that does not help him!
Furthermore signing with Tampa just means he can take a 2 way contract and play next season in the AHL which whats better for his development another year on a likely bad college team or at 22 getting in with peer prospects along with a mix of older veterans in a better league? does not matter what Tampa needs they will sign him to the AHL tomorrow if they wanted.
Merrimack yet another program with higher expectations than UVM and their guy coached circles around us over the years...
Packy Munson is WCHA championship game MVP after pitching a shutout against Northern.
What could have been.
Another botched line in the great Sneddon playbook.
Per Jeff Cox, Kyle Wallack has expressed interest in the Merrimack job
That would be Micheletto part 2 if Mack hired him because if you are goin to fire a coach and a looking for an actual improvement Wallyworld isnt the answer! what are the other names they are probably all better!

Now Lucia let go..... Must be some awkward silence in Schulman's office when men's hockey program comes up for annual review......![]()
Seems like Lucia stepped down willingly though since he's sticking around
Cox mentioned Scott Borek, Curtis Carr, Cam Ellsworth, Bobby Jay, Paul Pearl, Jerry Keefe, and Bill Riga.
Borek - ex LSSU HC who also worked as an assistant for Umile at UNH
Carr - current Mack associate HC
Ellsworth - well we all know about him, Lowell assistant
Jay - ex HC of NWHL's Boston Pride and assistant with US women's NT, also used to be an assistant in the AHL and with Harvard
Pearl - current Harvard associate HC <b>and former Holy Cross HC for 19 years</b>
Keefe - current Northeastern associate HC
Riga - current Quinnipiac associate HC
augmentation...![]()
idk how i missed that, lol.
Just hide it from the Gopher fans![]()
On the Gopher thread a couple of posters have speculated that if he didn't "step down" he would not have been asked back...other than that I don't follow their program so I don't have any further insight
(It was a joke referring to Pearl's Holy Cross team beating the Gophers at the Ralph in the tourney)
