Last call for pro signings, academic delinquents, etc.

I am putting the final touches on this year's TBRW Predictions. As always, these are partially dependant on players leaving programs prematurely or re-entering them after a year of being off.

Any info on the following would help, stated in simplest terms.

#1 (Rare) What ECAC players are returning for another year even though they were listed as seniors last year? (past example: Vinnie Auger for Cornell)

#2 (Common) What ECAC players will not be in uniform for their teams this year even though they (1) played at least one game last year and (2) were not listed as seniors or grad students? (past example: zillions. Joe Nieuwendyk. Damian Rocke.

#3 (Extremely rare) What ECAC players return to their team this year after taking at least a year off? (past example: Jeff Hamilton for Yale).

Greg,

You probably have this information already. Marc Cavosie of RPI is in category 2 as he left after his Junior at RPI. Interestingly, his brother Eric Cavosie is in category 1 because he is a Grad student having been red-shirted in his Freshman year (98-99).

I don't think this affects the TBRW formula, but IIRC the Swedish goalie at Clarkson is not coming back.

The players that affect the TBRW formula are last season's top 4 D and top 9 F by points, and top 2 goalies by MINS, for each team.

Patrick Sharp of Vermont signed a pro contract over the summer and will not be back. So Vermont loses its best player ...

So the fact that I forgot to list Francois Senez, formerly of RPI, is not important.

That'll probably drop UVM out of 12th place.
