Ollas between the pipes for Merrimack and has stopped 20/21 through 2.
Kjellberg's team (Northern Michigan) was up 2-0 but gave up two goals on the final 2:19. So they're going to OT.
Karpa and Harvard are trailing by 2 late.
Ollas and Merrimack going to OT, 2-2.
Lamb and Minnesota are up 3-2 on Ciccolini and Michigan.
Colorado College and Laba are down 1-0 in the second.

Yeah BU scored pretty early on in the OT period, two or three minutes in. Tough.
Sucks. Merrimack ran out of gas in the 3rd and couldn’t hold the lead. They were getting dominated in time of possession and were getting beat to pucks looking a step slower. Ollas should have had the tying goal imo but it was still a clean look for Kaplan. They had a couple chances in that 3rd but BU had the edge. Ollas then gets beat in OT from the blueline.
I don’t know what happens from here with Merrimack. I am assuming they needed to win the Hockey East to be included in the frozen 4 tournament but I don’t know how it all works. Probably should.
Merrimack defenseman Zach Bookman, 20 years old and undrafted, I would be looking to sign him. Skates very well with good vision. Righty shot. He has been very impressive.

The tweet posted earlier today said theyd need multiple upsets to NOT get at large bid, if they lost
I believe only upset was Colgate,
Laba and Kjellberg teams had great Conference playoffs runs, but fell short against top teams

Berard. Coming off his junior year, the time seems right for him to turn pro. Ollas they still have for 3 more years (assuming he plays 4 years in the NCAA)

Cornell, Merrimack finish in near dead heat in Pairwise at 13,14, while only Colgate is upset earner of auto bid ranked below them, aside from Atlantic champ Canisius
So Ollas and Kempf will join Lamb, Karpa, Ciccolini in tournament

This was Ollas's second year at Merrimack. His D+3 year. Pretty sure he has two years left at most. Hard to compare him to Boyko right now without looking at a lot of tape and there might not be much of that existing even if one wanted to. Boyko played for a pretty bad Kelowna team this year. Ollas team seemed kind of average. Boyko is signed to an ELC.
I think Lindbom's been doing okay in Jacksonville. Save % isn't great but it's not terrible for a first year pro. His win/losses are good. GAA is okay. ECHL is not a bad place for a first year goalie as long as he gets enough games. A forward or defenseman down there is not really good but young goalies need games and shots more than anything. Domingue's signed for next year and Garand should get better. Boyko probably enters the mix. Right now Ollas would be better with another year at Merrimack while some of this gets sorted out. I like what he's done so far though.

Probably just Berard.
Hughes and Ciccolini don't seem like candidates for a contract, but you never know.
Capfriendly says the Rangers have Kjellberg's rights for an entire year more, but I don't understand that. If it ends up they're wrong and he has to be signed, I'd say it's 50/50 at best that he gets a deal.

Bracket ABCs: Final NCAA Tournament Projection
A look at who may be going where.

my best interpretation of the Kjellberg projection at CF is that
because RPI didn't play '20-21,
he still has another year of eligibility, were he to choose to continue in NCAA
but he just turned 23,
and while his brother will attend Northen Mich, per EP, that is not due to begin until '24-25
the brother will be 19 soon,
maybe Simon stays if Joel enters THIS fall
or maybe he transfers again, if he gets an offer/opportunity he likes
but maybe more likely, Kjellberg turns pro ... somewhere
The confusing part about the NCAA stuff is that the CBA spells out the guidelines for how long teams will retain a player's rights, and it's all based on being a bona fide college student, the year of your graduating class, etc. None of it speaks to what happens if someone is given a medical redshirt year and gains another year of eligibility, or what effect the missed COVID season has on guys, and all that.
There's no question that Kjellberg gets an extra year of eligibility. I just never saw anything where the NHL announced an exception for those players. I mean, ALL of the players got an extra year of eligibility I believe, even if their teams played. So for instance Eric Ciccolini can play another year without question, but we don't appear to have any extra year to sign him. That's what I don't really understand.
And we've discussed in the past, it's hard to understand it all even pre-COVID. There are always random NCAA guys whose situation seems to defy explanation by anything written in the CBA.

FWIW, here's what is written in the By Laws about this. So it looks like there's not much cleared up here either.
Granted, this document is from 2009 and because the NHL By Laws aren't publicly available, it's hard to find a more recent copy. The 2009 copy was made public during the bankruptcy case of then Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes.

I haven't been as close to D1 hockey since ~14, things always evolve
but the huge numbers of guys in transfer portal seems noteworthy
8 guys leaving Northeastern, including Riley Hughes and his brother 'other Jack'?
Northeastern was 3rd in HE and 18 in PW!

A lot of guys will transfer out of the ECAC for their fifth year because they won't be eligible for a fifth year at the Ivy League schools.
A lot of fifth year guys will transfer in general because they've already graduated with their class and will go play that extra year somewhere else where they either think they have a better opportunity or just a different opportunity.
