One name I haven’t seen mentioned as a potential UFA signing is Cam Wright from Denver. Right shot left wings are a commodity and he’s a pure shooter. He’s older, but spent four years on a mediocre BGSU team so he went largely unnoticed.
He was also very close to calling Harborcenter home once upon a time. Atlantic Hockey is too good for 19 year olds though, so he played at the same age in a better conference instead.

Fifth year/graduate student so he's out of NCAA time, right shot who can finish -- he had a 4-goal game at BGSU two years ago as well as this season being a 21-goal guy for the Pioneers. That's a quality idea. They need people with a nose for the net in the organization, especially if they are looking to graduate Quinn and Peterka soon.

Not surprising. MSU has been a veritable dumpster fire since (and really a year or 2 before) Rick Comley left. Now the watch is on in Madison...

Man, I knew it would be sooner than later, but this bums me out. A guy who wins a title at Bowling Green is a true legend. I'm not a big BC fan although I do respect the program Jerry MF York turned into a standard in the game.
I have 2 cheeky asides here: 1) does anyone else think Jerry looks like Stanley Roper from Three's Company? 2) Does BC try to poach a small program coach like Hastings, Carvel or Leaman?
We tossed around Leaman's name earlier, but I think he likes where he is. I'm not sure about the other two leaving their programs but one would think the status (and PAY) for BC is going to make that job a plum. I'm wondering if Quinn comes back to the collegiate ranks but would he come back to the archrivals of his former team?

I also get the feeling Leaman stays put. He gets paid more than the A.D. at Providence. He might even be generating NHL attention with his USNDP performances.
Oh man, talk about reigniting a rivalry if Quinn goes to B.C.
Edit: Orpik takes over?

Mike Cavanaugh (UConn) was a looooong time BC assistant. Huskies haven't broken through, but that program has been on an upward trajectory for a while now.

That is a fine theory, hermano. My gut says Orpik, but I rather enjoy the Game of Thrones power struggle we're making it out to be.

The coaching watch actually will be kinda juicy with BU and BC having vacancies. And Michigan State is in the mix, although it is currently the consolation prize of the high profile spots available.
You are a BC alum right? Any other candidates?
When does Wisconsin fire the "other" Granato?

The pat answer is: "not soon enough". Meanwhile, that was a good move on Buffalo's part to snatch the "real" GranatoYou are a BC alum right? Any other candidates?

(maybe a crying emoji would've been more appropriate).

BU, hence my more informative post on the Terrier situation a while back. I still think it'll be one of those three (Quinn, Pandolfo, McEachern), and of those three I think I'd like Pandolfo, BU went for great recruiters the last two hires (Quinn, Albie) but their actual coaching was always lackluster, when we won it was usually a matter of having superior talent, and you cannot win championships on talent alone. Two Boston area powerhouses on the surface seems like a great situation for a guy like Lang to move up (even if he'd be leaving his alma mater), but both schools to me seem more likely to look for guys with connections to their program.

Sorry about that. I couldn't remember.
I always expected the Hague to be bigger and have more room for a court. Thought his head is pretty large...
