It's interesting that he transferred for his senior year after wearing an A for the Badgers this past season.

What happened in Wisconsin this year? Badly underachieved for the talent they had and brought in.

Granato and Osiecki have huge egos and it gets in the way of actual results and development of players.
They built an incredible stable of recruits on paper because of their reputation as top-end coaches and have only managed to consistently underachieve because of the toxic environment they’ve create.

Some of the stories I’ve heard about them..

NCAA approves blanket waiver for 2020 fall sports athletes to retain year of eligibility
The NCAA Board of Governors took a landmark step on Friday by approving a measure that will grant an extra year of eligibility to all fall sports athletes. Even athletes who compete this fall will be eligible for an extra year under the rule, which was recommended earlier this week by the Division I Council. The extension of eligibility for fall athletes follows a similar measure approved by the NCAA earlier this year with spring athletes who had most of their 2020 seasons erased by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"All fall sport student-athletes will receive both and additional year of eligibility and an additional year in which to complete it," the NCAA said in a release. "Student-athletes who do not enroll full time during the 2020 fall term have flexibility in the progress-toward-degree requirements that must be met for eligibility in future terms."

The extra year won't count against schlolarship limits but it's not mandated that teams must fund scholarships of seniors for an additional year.

Army Hockey Announces 2020-21 Schedule - Army West Point

To mitigate some of the risk factors regarding COVID-19 exposure during travel, Atlantic Hockey has separated the league into eastern and western pods, with Air Force standing alone as the geographic outlier. The eastern pod is made up of AIC, Army, Bentley, Holy Cross, and Sacred Heart. The western pod consists of Canisius, Mercyhurst, Niagara, RIT, and Robert Morris.

All teams will play five games against each pod member (20 total games). Army will play Air Force for a pair of games (2) on the road totaling 22 league games. The Cadets will then play a three-game set against LIU at home, who is being worked in as a scheduling partner for the 2020-21 season.

RIT is still working on their schedule.

Big Ten Shooting For Nov. 13 Return With 24 League Games & Big Ten Coaches Happy, Relieved With New Game Plan

B1G's start could be as soon as Nov. 13., so from a Sabres standpoint, that would cover all three of their NCAA prospects in Weissbach, Johnson, and Portillo. Unfortunately, Portillo probably gets a backup role as a freshman with a captain junior goalie on Michigan, but if you still watch the team, there's three highly rated incoming freshman (Beniers, Johnson, Power) that will be eligible for the 2021 draft.
