This isn't basketball, the "at large" teams are not subjectively selected, they are determined by the pairwise rankings. If a team does qualify automatically for winning their conference, and they are not ranked in the top ten of the remaining teams in the pairwise ranking, they are not going to make the tournament, and everyone knows it. Northeastern cannot move up the pairwise enough to qualify regardless of what else happens. They are done.

Imagine NEU gets a bid and their top players already signed in the NHL.
I doubt that is what Levi is waiting on that.

After last night’s shit show, I say give him a game. These turds aren’t going to pull off a wild card spot.Honestly, this week.
That said, let's get on with the signing. If it's the dressing for a game thing to get a year burned off the ELC, do it up.

That's what I like to see, a bookworm who visits his parents for spring break.
Would Levi's teammates signing contracts already preclude them playing in the tourney if NU somehow gets in? Seems like the party is over, turn out the lights.

There isn't a hold up, he doesn't want to sign right now. He hasn't made up his mind on playing his last year of college. I think at minimum he would want to finish this semester. I don't see him wanting to play anymore hockey this year (here or in AHL).

Yes. Once they sign they are professional athletes and no longer NCAA eligible.

Such a miserable stance. Try maybe supporting the team. It’s more fun.

Some of you will go on the warpath for this but I think it’s pretty likely if he doesn’t sign this year he’s gone. Buffalo has a rotten reputation out there in the goalie arena. My guess is if Levi doesn’t sign this year he’s getting advice to go UFA.
He obviously is not enthusiastic to sign or it would have been done already. There was never any talk about him returning to the NCAA next year until now. He said so himself last year when he said he wanted one more shot to get his team to the frozen 4.
KA put all his eggs in this basket and if he comes up short here, I’ll be certainly questioning his ability to negotiate outside the organization and to sell his vision of the organization.
His personality can leave a lot to be desired based on his interviews.
Edit: I’m not saying he’s not signing, but if it’s not done so soon, I think something is brewing behind the scenes. When you leave a tender out to get smeared with 10 goals and lack defense every game, who knows how that impacts a young goaltender’s perception of your organization.

Blind fanaticism in the face of the worst ownership in sports, the longest playoff drought in history, and an asinine plan to intentionally leave holes to get college kids to sign is not a good thing.
We’re reaching the best thing for the team being a GM who wants to win…not do nothing and hope.
You’ll get there too.

He would need to be fired. He will have intentionally hurt his roster for nothing.

I’d still rather not lose good prospects so that I can win arguments online

I certainly hope the organization did not purposefully and willfully fail to address the goalie situation last summer to appease a prospect. Even one as well regarded as Levi. What is the difference between knee capping your goalie situation to keep a prospect happy and icing a bad team to get a higher draft pick? Is there one?
