Sounds like the broadway show on Friday at the Avenir is getting moved to accommodate game 2.

Bachman, Turner, Overweight (aka Men Without Necks) moved their show to accommodate the Jets.

McGurn Arizona State
Richard and Plandowski New Hampshire
McCallum Providence

McCallum leaving is a real worrying sign since he’s a third year player.

McCallum leaving is a real worrying sign since he’s a third year player.

I don’t think any of us envisioned any third year guys going ..

However the two that did are arguably the top d-man and goalie in the country , so I doubt it is a trend .

Pretty sure an assistant coach was responsible for Cutting leaving , was he not ? I’ve had some dealings with the guy and can’t say he is my favorite person I’ve ever met

Yes - it was related to an Assistant Coach. He was too abrasive with Cutting after a game and he (Cutting) was upset and after the season ended, upon reflection, he asked to be released (allowed to transfer without penalty). The AD supported his release request (went to Ryerson) and the coach 'moved on'.

I had high hopes for Cam MacLise that season - being the Jr.A. player of the year, but I don't think he adjusted very well to being the low-man on the pole having been the go-to guy for the previous 2-3 seasons in Jr.A. He transferred to MRU where he had solid numbers and played two seasons for Manitoba (AHL).

I’m sure UNB will land a lot of “pros” in off season

Yes - I agree. Not because I want the program to 'rent' players, but this is the best 'on par' talent pool to which UNB has had access to in the past. They can't play NCAA and once they play for UNB, they can't transfer - it's a matter of how many years of eligibility do they have.

This counter acts the 'worry' - does your OA recruit come or bolt last second for the NCAA as well as having a great recruit who is a rookie standout which you lose over the summer to the NCAA (someone you had hoped to build around).

It's going to be a big challenge for Rob.

plus - they didn't have anything to prove having won 3 AUS titles and 2 UCup titles already.

I see Josh Lawrence is on the move again…he isn’t going to be back with his Finnish team next season.

I saw that. I doubt it happens but a man can hope

You guys are desperate. Can't see him coming to UNB after 2 years in Europe.

Agreed unless he decides he wants to go home. I think we will see some guys with pro experience but I think he is well above what we should expect to see.

No chance that happens.
