Yeah BU scored pretty early on in the OT period, two or three minutes in. Tough.Did Merrimack lose? The box score says its still 2-2 but the home page says the lost.
The tweet posted earlier today said theyd need multiple upsets to NOT get at large bid, if they lostSucks. Merrimack ran out of gas in the 3rd and couldn’t hold the lead. They were getting dominating 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.
Who of the collegiate kids do you think will sign? Berard? Ollas?
Probably just Berard.Who of the collegiate kids do you think will sign? Berard? Ollas?
my best interpretation of the Kjellberg projection at CF is that...
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.
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.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

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.

I haven't been as close to D1 hockey since ~14, things always evolveriley hughes in the transfer portal....he's eligible for a 5th season due to covid so he might be staying in school
