Apparently. Regular season and playoffs all count together I believe.

Updated the OP with the Reginal selections. Also changed the title to reflect that.
Hutson & Tuch and Pitlick will play on Thursday.
Farrell will face Dobes on Friday.

Very tough bracket for Boston University. Farrell vs Dobes .. All Minny Bracket? Odd.

So for anyone who will be asking, yes if Harvard loses from here on out, Farrell will become available to be signed. 
It will also be curious if Tuch is signed or if they prefer he goes back for his senior year. And also if Habs have any intention of signing Dobes.

I think they'll sign Tuch but Dobes will go back for one more year

I'm still left wondering if they opt to have him turn pro in an attempt to see what they have in their goalie depth.
But hopefully they sign Perets as an undrafted UFA and let Dobes hone his craft for another year in Ohio State.
I agree. Dobes should definitely play an other season, which will give the habs some time to sort the Allen/Monty/Primeau situation.
I don’t think Tuch should go back for an other season, and I don’t see them not offering him a contract. Sign him so he can play with the other young prospects joining the Rocket next year and see if Nicholas can work with him.
Hopefully with all the additions, we’ll actually feel like watching the habs farm team in Laval. It’s just a shame that Houle will still be there.

Plays with physicality. Has a big frame. Is a presence in front of the net. Likes to create havoc. And can produce.
There's nothing sexy about his game. But it will lend itself real well to the pros.
Think Condotta, but better and more skilled.
Numbers are not impressive at all. It seems his brother got the skills gene.

Not everyone is destined to be a top 6 scorer. He plays with jam, he's physical and he's got enough offense to play anywhere in a teams lineup and provide value.

It was said from the beginning before he was drafted that Alex is more skilled. But that Luke plays with more physicality.
He's not the kind of player you look at numbers with. He brings other elements to the game that don't show up on the score sheet.
But if you'll look at numbers, he had 11 pts in 16 games as a freshman. He's had his most productive year this year as a junior (19 pts with 9 goals in 37 GP). Last year as a sophomore, he missed some time to injury. But he finished his year with 10 pts in his last 17 games.

It's very possible. I don't think it's a given he'll be signed the way we knew Struble would and are sure Farrell will.
I'd be real happy if he is signed. I think he's ready to turn pro. But I will be fine if he goes back for his senior year.
Dobes is the one I am perplexed about. 2 straight seasons of putting up excellent numbers yet no one seems to be excited about him. Am I missing something?
And he turns 22 in May...he is in the same boat as Farrell I think where he played an extra year in the USHL

I think it's because of Primeau. People had high hopes for him and so far he hasn't shown enough progress. They don't want to be disapointed again so they are tampering their expectations.
But it's misguided I feel. They're both very different goalies and at this point Dobes shows more promises. I feel the Habs will give Primeau the #2 position soon enough and Dobes will get the #1 spot in Laval. In a few years, I'd bet Dobes will overtake Primeau. I think Primeau tops as a #2 either for us or another team.

I'd just sign him now to make sure he doesn't bolt to another organization.
At his age he should be ready to learn in the AHL anyways, even if the NCAA were somehow a more optimal place to learn for the upcoming year.

I'm excited about him but he didn't elevate his game from last year, so I think where you want to be patient with goalies, you send him back to the NCAA and see if he can put in one of those Levi like dominant seasons where it's a struggle to get more than 2 on him a night.
As Ohio State's defense got better, he almost got "worse".. I think he needs to understand how to be mentally engaged in games where he isn't getting a lot of shots/chances.
Speculation today is that Hughes will sign Perets as a FA. I'm not sure at 6'1" he is a better propsectthan Dobes but it can't hurt to sign him and let Dobes play his Junior year in the NCAA.
