Got to think that Flores goes the US route being from Chicago. Oster would be a great recruit, but is sure to get a a lot of NCAA offers. Certainly a workhorse the last two years. He's good!

It would be nice for sure but even if they have to start the year Delafontaine and Fisk it’s not the end of the world..

I know they had originally had interest in Austin Elliott for next year before the rule change but he is heading south ..

Adding Remi has given me a little bit of peace of mind that they will have a competent goalie next year regardless of what the market looks like .

If Giannuzzi comes they would have three goalies so I would imagine that would be it. I’m guessing the overage goalie they were interested in was Elliott who’s going to UMass-Lowell.

Delafontaine is as good as any CHL goalie you are going to get under the new rules

Do you think we will see more pro guys coming back?

Your guess is as good as anyones haha. Liam Arnsby should be coming to UNB. Heard one other name way back of a guy who played Jr.A for the Red Wings and a few games this year of low level pro going to UNB but haven’t heard anything on that in a hot minute .

Ethan Ritchie is going to SMU…

I change my mind every day on if I think we are going to see a flood of ECHL guys or if we are going to see 10-12 guys nation wide .

Watching this Western Michigan/Denver game and the pace of play is miles ahead of U Sports…curious how some of these guys who transfer adjust to that kind of speed.

It will be interesting to see. It obviously depends what role they are put in, but I personally think the top guys coming from CIS will be very good second liners and 3rd liners for the most part. The top end talent at the top NCAA programs are 1 or 2 years away from being good NHLers at 20-24 years old, whereas top end CIS guys usually develop in to mid to low end AHLers when they are 27-28.

I’ve been wondering this too. I know people will argue that “UNB has beaten top NCAA teams” but so many factors were at play in all of those games … A few years back I was watching Michigan and got to thinking that if you were to put Owen Power on Dalhousie they could probably beat UNB.

McGurn will be an interesting case , I still think he was criminally underrated at UNB.

UNB is fast for U Sports standards….but I think these teams, especially at this point in the season (not September) would skate circles around them.

McGurn may have been underrated, but just due to the fact he was currently behind other guys on the depth chart. That was no fault of his own…that’s just how good the lineup was. To me it’s a big loss mainly because he was in line to be the next “guy” they could lean on after the 3rd year guys moved on.

Put something on the line and they are getting thumped lol. These games are tuneups for NCAA teams and the U Sports teams are playing with a chip on their shoulder and feel they have something to prove .

Kale McCallum to Providence

Ouch… Probably the biggest loss possible for UNB.

Gonna be a huge turnover … McCallum , McGurn , Elliott , Sproule , Corbeil , Peer , Plandowski , Carson , Richard , Somers , ?Reynolds? , ?MacKay? , all gone or rumoured to be gone … probably more on top of that…. Gonna be a busy summer on the hill …

I’ve heard nothing on Huckins but I’d be shocked if he’s back, former third round pick, he’s definitely gotta have some offers on the table… I’m sure some guys might lean towards other opportunities as well instead of sticking around for a rebuild .

Haven't heard anything on Peer yet, but a major turnover for sure!
 
Knew McCallum was done (he mentioned it in a CBC piece about him and his sister). Figured he'd be going pro, though.
 
Re: Peer: Are him and Mancini a package deal?

The pickle juice & mustard thing could lead to some interesting NIL possibilities.

He couldn’t crack UNB’s lineup so I doubt they have comparable offers… Maybe he was playing 3D chess to get his buddy on the best program in Canada lol. I know guys knew about this was coming
