Alex Galchenyuk being American and Jake (Jacob) Virtanen being Canadian is up there as well, for me.

Boyko and Grubbe will play WHL next season, Garand, Korczak, Rempe likely graduate to Hartford
Cuylle will be in Hartford most likely and Othmann I feel will get a 9 game look to see if he can stick with the NHL pace.
I don't think I saw this on this thread but Gerry Canton reports in the June 3 edition of Howlings reports that Simon Kjellberg has transferred to Northern Michigan.
"Rangers prospect defenseman Simon Kjellberg, the son of scout Patric Kjellberg, has left RPI (ECACHL) for the greener pastures of Northern Michigan."

Tough to say, some years ECAC (where he was) has stronger teams at the top than the CCHA (where he's going), but it can also flip. I would say that top to bottom, CCHA is a little stronger? Fewer teams and fewer crappy teams.
As far as Northern Michigan, they've been better in the past few years but are still generally mediocre. I am not intimately familiar with their roster, but taking a quick glance, Kjellberg should plug in and have a pretty big role right away. Northern Michigan is not any kind of developmental powerhouse; to my knowledge they only have one drafted player on their roster and none of the other guys are really looking like potential picks (though IDK about their incoming recruits).

Ask Me About Barron
Is there any penalty phase when a college athlete switches schools.
Recall something about Larry Byrd having to sit a year after he transferred.(?)

I think that penalty was waived because of Covid. I assume that's still the case.

The rules have been eased in general, and pretty much set aside for players on teams affected by Covid. Also eligibility, and related team draft control, has been extended for covid affected players.
Kjellberg could play 2 more NCAA seasons, and NYR would retain rights while he was enrolled, but he'll be 23 by next summer
@cwede is correct that the NCAA has relaxed a lot of rules during the COVID pandemic. However, they also passed a one-time transfer rule, allowing athletes in football, basketball, hockey, and the smattering of other sports that had those one-year ineligibility periods for guys who transferred, basically a waiver. So now, anyone can transfer once without having to sit out a year. This particular change was actually in response to the recent court rulings and increasing scrutiny that the NCAA has faced from the judicial and legislative branches of government regarding how they restrict players.
