January opponent Arizona State started their season well (https://www.collegehockeynews.com/schedules/team/Arizona-State/61).
Arizona State appears to have an impressive schedule. I assume they are an independent--is this their first season in D1?
Quote from: djk26Arizona State appears to have an impressive schedule. I assume they are an independent--is this their first season in D1?
According to Wikipedia they've been a D-I independent since 2015-16 (after winning the ACHA title in 2014-15) and have been playing a full D-I schedule since 2016-17.
I don't think this was caught in the last thread when we discussing Colton Point leaving, but Heisenberg's latest page shows Colgate, desperate for goaltending, lost their top rated incoming defenseman via decommit to BU.

Traded for two minor league players and a third round draft pick.

Will "'snot you fawt, Wew!" Friend is clearly there to pull up the team GPA. A physics major among Econ majors. Hope he and McAvoy (English) hit it off -- nobody else to talk to on long bus rides.

Whatever they have was good enough to score two in the third period and come from behind to beat New Hampshire at home 2-1.
Q beat UConn last night. Game included this hit, which I assume is the 5 plus 10 for charging in the box score.

The Cantabrigian-monikered Brogan Rafferty, junior defenseman. How that's only a misconduct is beyond me. Calls out for some "supplemental discipline."
I can't say it's never happened, but I feel like I don't see us pull that Scott Stevens BS that often. And I have an idea that Schafer would bench a player that did that for at least a game.
Looked like a good clean hit to me. Kept his hands down and all. A hard hit isn't necessarily a dirty hit. Not sure how it could be called charging given he coasted into him.
Hard to say. I think the Deer-tick D-man led with his shoulder a bit, but the U-Conn player was smaller and was also hunched over so his head was in a more vulnerable position.
In the heat of the moment, probably a good call. IMHO no supplementary discipline needed, but your mileage may vary.

Very good night for the conference, going 4-0-0 with three upsets over top-20 teams:
SLU 4 Holy Cross 3
Clarkson 4 #15 Wisconsin 2
Quinnipiac 1 #18 BC 0
#20 Union 4 at #12 Northeastern 3 (ot)
does this make Guelph better than Wisc?
Union and Clarkson win again with the former's win helping a bit more since Northeastern was higher ranked in the pairwise.

I might wish for them to give us a good fight, lose to us by 1 goal home and away and beat the crap out of the teams they play as our travel partner. In the league I only hate Union and wish that Harvard will lose all its remaining games to Cornell - until forever or a bit longer.

I'm not wild about Q, either, but I basically endorse this sentiment.
Harvard tied Yale tonight. The game ended on a nasty and dangerous hit by Harvard on Yale star forward Snively.
I saw the H-Y OT after enjoying Union tie up Princeton so that they could lose to the Tigers in OT.
Also enjoyed not hearing the more annoying Qpuke announcer last night. Hopefully he's gone on to pee-wee play by play.

Yeah, it would seem like ASU is to be taken seriously this year. Overall, the conference didn't do too bad in OOC play this weekend, though.

I was thinking about grabbing a copy of the goal for YouTube when I too saw that message. We actually looked at the goal on my phone at the rink and the original shot was of the RPI player sitting on the ice after drawing the penalty. But on a longer view at home last night - before they pulled the video - they showed a different view as a replay. It wasn't all that enlightening due to the shot being from the other end of the rink.
The loss of the video due to copyright adds insult to injury. We had to sit through the crappy song selection during the game. They even played a song each time Lowell scored.

Those weren't empty net own goals, however. Those were the type of goals where it goes in off your own Dman's skate. I assume. Otherwise 4 in 4 games is utterly insane.

The game is back here (https://rpitv.org/productions/1406-hockey-vs-umass-lowell). Watch from about 18:30on the YouTube clip to see the play develop. At 20:00 you can see the replay showing the whole ice view. The announcer called it a deflection on watching the replay. If so, it might have been off the point defender's stick.
I emailed RPI TV about the music problem and their reply a day or two ago was that RPI TV had requested that YouTube strip the music out of the video so that it could be restored. I didn't know that YouTube would take care of this type of request.
Watch from 1:25:30 to see the RPI team self destruct in the last 5 minutes of period 2.::twak::

Quote from: TrotskyPrinceton lost their 6th straight last night, shut out at home by Arizona State.
After their rough CNY weekend, their last 4 games have been against teams in the top 10 of PWR (#1, 4, 4, 10)
Looks like we can count Kuffner & Véronneau out of the Hobey chase.
Meanwhile QU is having the season we did last year and has 2 of the top 10 goal scorers nationally in Priskie & Tufto.
Princeton is a one-line team that was able to catch lightning in a bottle the second half of last year. Their issue has always been a lack of defense and goaltending, strength of schedule aside.

There's nothing to look forward to about going to watch a game at Quinnipiac. The traffic jams leaving the rink are horrible. The loud, canned music they play -- even though there may be two pep bands there -- is annoying. The "sellouts" they always have consist of hundreds of empty seats. If you're lucky, they'll also give out thundersticks to the fans who are there. They have hockey cheerleaders. And of course Pecknold is one of the most despised opposing coaches. Other than that, it's a great atmosphere.

The legendary New Haven pizza places are Sally's Apizza, Modern Apizza and Pepe's Pizza. Bar is considered close, but just a notch below them. Most pizza lovers are passionate about their favorite one of the New Haven trio. I'm a huge Modern fan, for example, and will be going there before the Yale game. But on a weekend you have to expect long lines at all of them, so give yourself plenty of time.

So last night here in Philly, Princeton and Penn State played a game over at Wells Fargo Center (the Flyers arena) and it wound up being a pretty good game. I was able to go last minute because of a friend that works at Princeton and we saw Princeton play poorly for the first period (went down 4-1 and pulled their goaltender early in the 2nd) until they came all the way back to tie in the last 2 minutes of regulation. They even had a breakaway in OT that the Penn State goaltender made a stellar save on. As one can imagine, the place was 90-95% Penn state fans (this city has no shortage of their alumni) and they were quite vocal, although rather tame compared to what we're used to hearing at Lynah.

Adam, I know they tanked.:-D Why is the reason.
I like to think it was because as an 8 seed we beat them in the 1980 ECAC Finals. It "took all the starch out of them".::dribble::
Of course they did go on to stomp on us in the meaningless NCAA consy game.
That was a strange year. We were .500 in the season, the #8 ECAC seed and went on to beat, in order, the #1, #2 and then #3 Dartmouth to be the ECAC Champion.
In the NCAAs we almost made it to the finals, which is why those consy games were so terrible.
I noticed BU was up 1-0 over Harvard, listed at the Bright. Why isn't this showing up on ESPN+ on my ROKU? I wanted to watch the 3rd period.

When I first went to the Roku app "Live and Upcoming" didn't show the game. I later found it when I looked at "Hockey" but the ridiculous thing was that when I clicked out of the game after the OT period, it WAS listed as "Live and Upcoming". this is still megabytes better than ILDN and cheaper to boot.

Boston Globe reports Normand Bazin, head coach of hockey at #1 ranked UMass Amherst earns $464,538.53 and is the 16th best-paid employee of the state of Massachusetts workers.

UM-Amherst coach is Greg Carvel St. Lawrence '93 / St Lawrence coach through 2016, paid in the low 300s.]
One could see why it might be tempting for a really good Ivy coach to jump and salt away enough for his kids' college education and retirement. Conversely, the Ivies, through significant alumni support, not operating funds, could make it worthwhile for coaches in key sports - football, hockey, lacrosse, wrestling, basketball at least - to stick around, and offset the lack of athletic scholarships might be offset.
(IIRC Penn State in the past has been able to sidestep state employee salary reporting / sunshine law rules, so it's not easy to see what Jeff Tambroni makes. In doing a quick search on Penn State salaries, I found this tidbit: Penn State's athletic director hire in 2014 came from UC Berkeley, was making $400, was asked to leave, and winds up in Happy Valley making $700K. https://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2014/08/penn_states_highest-paid_emplo.html)
Bazin is the Lowell coach. The guy you want is Greg Carvel, who was paid around $318,000 in 2018.

I believe it's also true that many (all) Ivies offer free tuition to children of employees, and that many (all?) of the Ivies have deals with "peer" institutions that allow their employees' children to attend the peer institution at similar cost. So to a coach with, say, 3 kids who expects them to go to schools like Johns Hopkins, rather than "weather vane" schools like, for example, University of Wisconsin Stevens Point (https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2018/03/06/u-wisconsin-stevens-point-eliminate-13-majors), a gig at an Ivy could be worth an (inflation-protected) $600K or more.
cornell does not offer free tuition to kids of employees.
Cornell does give a tuition benefit to the children of its employees, at least it did when my kids were in college in the early 2000's. It is not 100% of the cost of college and the amount of the benefit depends on when the employee started working at Cornell. I believe you currently need to be employed full time for 10 years before the benefit vests and the benefit can be applied to other schools -- not just attending Cornell.
I believe staff had to be hired before 1983 to get the full tuition benefit. Not sure about the date for faculty. I attended under the 100% benefit, but CU always managed to find $1,000 or so each semester in "fees" that were not covered by the benefit.
If I remember corrcectly, the fees might have been partially covered by the New York State TAP grants I got.
I think its 30/50 now
Seems I may have opened a can of worms by bringing this up. For those who are unaware of the way things commonly work in higher ed these days, there are several gotcha's in any discussion of tuition. Chief among these are "fees." Especially at state universities it's common for tuition increases to be modest, while "fees" go through the roof. This practice allows university administrators and politicians to pat themselves on the back ("Look at what a good job we've done keeping the cost of college low: tuition at weather vane U. has gone up on 3% over the last 5 years.") while the real cost of attending increases due to fees for computer labs, the new gym, a faculty/staff parking garage, scholarship funds, and what have you.
But, of course, I'm sure Cornell's administration would never stoop to such deceptive practices.
Cornell absolutely does distinguish between tuition and fees....When my first child entered CALS in 2000, fees constituted about half of the non-housing/dining bill we had to pay. Which took us by surprise and therefore required loans since we had only budgeted to pay room and board thinking "tuition" was free. I started at Cornell in the 70's so my kids went to school tuition free. Who knew it would actually cost us less to send a kid to the Hotel School than to the Ag School.

Q beats BU in last couple of seconds. Watched most of the third period. Both defenses were terrible.
Reasonably large gap from our #8 to Q's #7 in PWR. We are on top of a large closely bunched teams in PWR. Will see how it works out at the end of the day.
Q to #6 with the win
This article (https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2019/01/04_Pelton-Byce-Transfers-to.php) has been up for some time, but we missed it. Ty Pelton-Byce has transferred from Harvard to Wisconsin.
The article says:
Quote from: CHNThe 6-foot-2, 195-pound forward played two seasons at Harvard, but then was ruled academically ineligible.
I'll leave it to you readers to explain what it takes to be academically ineligible at an institution with notorious grade inflation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_inflation#Harvard_University) and related academic coddling of students (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2017/09/19/how-harvard-helps-its-richest-and-most-arrogant-students-get-ahead/?utm_term=.7586aea79dc5).
From a post on USCHO:
QuoteInteresting that every Harvard recruit that committed early (2015) to matriculate to the school in 2019 is no longer committed. Academics can always play a factor here, but:
- Marshall Warren (felt better pasture at BC)
- Ryan Doolin, Brad Cocca, and Jon Russell (likely left in search of more playing time)
Meanwhile, Northern Michigan is hosting Mankato this weekend. Mankato is right above Cornell in the pairwise right now and a Northern Michigan sweep would obviously be the most ideal thing.

I don't quite understand what either of those two sets of reasons ("pasture"?) (more playing time where?) actually means. But Harvard's and Cornell's recruiting philosophies are basically polar opposites at this point.
It's not on CHN but the postponed Mayor's cup is taking place tonight in Albany at the TU Center. The women Engineers are up 2-0 at the second intermission vs. Union.
Men's game will go off at 6. This is the 7th iteration of this tournament the successor to the Governor's Cup. It's likely 2 or 3 of mayors of Troy, Albany and Schenectady will be in the house.
To my knowledge the Governor never showed at the tourney named in his honor.

#26 won the shootout 3-2 in 6 rounds.
As you wrote, RPI was the better team in the OT. It also was the better team in the 2nd period. Union was the better team in the 1st and 3rd periods. That seems to indicate that the rink was tilted to one end.
Considering how RPI has played the last few years, mediocre is a distinct improvement. :-)
And RPI's women won 2-1 over a surprisingly strong Union team in the earlier game. Lovisa Selander's 29 saves puts her just 148 behind the NCAA career mark in saves with eight regular season games remaining.
Harvard has jumped significantly up in the PWR. They now sit at #11.
Anyone know if the the Beanpot is available to watch online (for free)?
It's on Nesn and Nesn go. If you have Comcast/Xfinity you can sign in at The NESNGO site (https://nesngo.nesn.com/). But no free stream that I can find.
Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is working on Free Hockey For All, though I think Bernie Sanders would have a better shot at it.
Please do not post politics here. I do not want to know for a fact how much stupider you all are than I already think.
opening round of the BeanPot tonight
Harvard playing BC at 5pm
Northeastern playing BU at 8pm

Harvard should feel very comfortable. Stands close to empty, just like a game at Lynah East. And they give up the first goal BC 1-0.
Quote from: TimVHarvard should feel very comfortable. Stands close to empty, just like a game at Lynah East. And they give up the first goal BC 1-0.
And of course BC, losers of something like 25 straight nonconference games, beats Harvard in the beanpot.
Harvard's loss today knocks down Cornell's adjusted RPI from .5581 to .5549. With Harvard being a 3 time opponent, and also a two time opponent of many of our opponents, they impact our RPI more than our other opponents. Also, their dropping in PWR affects our Quality Win Bonus points.
Bastards!

You can count on Harvard to ruin everything that is good. BC even lost to Bentley during that streak. They hadn't won a non-conference game since 2016.
Christ. Harvard sucks.
What the hell happened to BC? Did they get caught doing an Elephant Walk or something?
Quote from: TrotskyWhat the hell happened to BC? Did they get caught doing an Elephant Walk or something?
The "since 2016" RichH is referring to is the calendar year, not the 2015-2016 season - BC's NC record in 2016-2017 was pretty much normal given their overall record.
BC didn't win any NC games last season but they managed to finish first in Hockey East, which is supremely weird unless Hockey East as a whole was terrible last year. This year is clearly a down year for them - if they keep pace it'll be the first losing season Jerry York has suffered since his Bowling Green days.
If I read the Q USCHO thread correctly, their senior defenseman BU-transfer (and 3rd-leading scorer) Brandon Fortunato is lost to injury for the season.

I think BearLover just means that the more games you play, the higher the likelihood that you wind up with injuries. And that that higher likelihood may outweigh the additional experience gained by playing more games and starting the season earlier.
Or perhaps not. I'm sure BearLover will explain.

Because fewer games = fewer chances for your players to get injured.
Though thinking about it more now, the games we skip occur at the beginning of the season, so that would really only help us with especially long-term injuries.

Agree with Jim. Injuries are random (except when the result of retaliation or poor conditioning) and the degree to which someone suffers is extremely random. For example I give that poor official who died because he slipped during warmups.

What really sucks is that we have some important injuries that could have been prevented. Andreev's was because of a cheap shot from behind, but AFAIK the ECAC didn't do anything extra to that asshole Baughman. And, according to Schafer Haiskanen's happened because the refs waited too long to call icing.

I agree. It's one thing to lose someone to an injury on a normal hockey play, but it happening this way is twice as frustrating.

Per USCHO thread, Harvard senior G Michael Lackey has torn the ACL in his right knee and is gone. He'd played 1400 of their 1500 mins this year. One backup has a GAA of 4.47 and a Sv% of .867. The other has a GAA of 17.65 and a Sv% of .750.

"Colgate's fan support was also quite sad. There students were on holiday break, so student attendance was sparse, and in this case, that's excusable in my book. But the alumni do not get a pass from me. Despite a close game at the end of the second period, I saw many "fans" exiting after the building for the ride home. What, each of these folks has a hot date in Hamilton, N.Y., on a Saturday night? C'mon, give me a break. For crying out loud, support your school or don't even come if you're only going to stay for two periods! That's my two cents of venting – there you have it."

Just reviewed the penalty. I don't think Priskie intended to blade the down player, but he surely meant to kick him with the toe of his skate, which, of course, carries that risk. That's why the penalty is severe.
To my eyes, he might be deserving of a further suspension. One of the dirtiest things I remember seeing, and it's a good thing he didn't have more room/time to draw his leg back.
PS I see they also lost Sr D Shiplo, on a fighting DQ. So, they're down to 5 regular D for their first second-round game.

It looks like I'm in the minority here, but seeing the replay I was actually surprised an extra game suspension was tacked on.
Based on what everyone was saying, I was expecting to see something much more dramatic and dangerous. Watching the replay, it looks like Priskie's skate blade never leaves the ice, and it is the top of his skate boot that makes contact with the Yale player's chest. I think we've all seen post-whistle scrums where someone cross-checks a player just as hard, in the chest or even higher, where no penalty is even called. Perhaps it looked a lot worse up close, but based on the replay I can't imagine anything more than the two game suspension Priskie wound up with being appropriate.

Personally I don't think that it matters that only his boot seemed to hit the player. It's the idea that he was using a "potentially lethal weapon".
All you have to do is look at what happened to Haiskanen. That was an accident. Now think of what could have happened if someone intentionally used their skate blade to hurt someone.
Sure it was only the boot, but it could have slipped and went to a non-padded area.
I think the ECAC was correct to "say" any use of a skate to try and injure someone will unequivocally not be tolerated.
Do it now and not wait for some tragedy to happen.

Should have just played there under an assumed name and kept his eligibility. And yes, I am positive somebody has done this at some time.
BU will presumably be an opponent in 2019-20. They have already lost 4 guys to early departure NHL signings since their season ended (Oettinger, Farabee, Krys, Fabro), one of them a freshman.
Mark Morris has now been fired from both (https://www.uscho.com/2019/03/29/st-lawrence-announces-morris-assistants-hurlbut-deschamps-will-not-return-for-19-20-season/) North Country schools.

Have to think Flanagan is a contender. If Mike lasts long enough he can colonize the entire NY contingent in the conference.

Brent Brekke?
Quote from: TimVQuote from: IcebergOne has to wonder whom SLU hires next after the obvious failure with Morris
Brent Brekke?
He is well known now to the region. My blind-guess is that Brekke seems very comfortable in the role he's been in for 15 years.
I like the name floated by Mike McMahon of CHN: Kris Mayotte. Currently Associate Head Coach with Leaman at Providence, he played at Union (under Leaman), and spent a few years as Assistant Coach at SLU (with a volunteer goalie coach stint at Cornell). Young enough to connect with a young team starting out pretty much from rock bottom, and knows the league well. Not a bad match.

Flanagan, Mayotte, and Brekke all seem like likely applicants. Brekke has thrown his hat into the ring for a number of head coaching vacancies (he was selected, I believe, at one of the Alaska schools then backed out) — I'd be surprised if he doesn't apply.
Would Ben Syer apply? I'd take a hard look at him if I were running that search.
UMD just scored a beautiful goal on a 3 on 1 to take a 2-0 lead on QU with 5 minutes left. Probably all she wrote
Clarkson has lost Nico Sturm (Jr, F, Minnesota) and Jake Kielly (Jr, G, Vancouver) to early departure.
Quote from: pfibigerWould Ben Syer apply? I'd take a hard look at him if I were running that search.
If he aims for a head coaching gig that seems like an ideal job. In the conference so he's already quite familiar, and he comes on the heels of a legendary coach failing to fix a shitshow which suggests there is NOTHING but upside. Plus while small SLU is a prestige gig with ahem "total commitment to the program" by the university (translation: if you have your eye on a functionally illiterate blue chip prospect they'll figure it out somehow).
He seems like the heir apparent here but Mike will likely only leave Lynah feet first, so, again, if that's what he's looking for...
The other possibility is he's waiting for Pecknold to be discovered in a Mozambique brothel with three dead hookers and a suitcase full of bootleg Fresh Prince of Bel-Air DVDs.

Besides all the difficulties with injuries, Schafer, if I remember correctly, missed a game earlier in the season in order to attend his brother's funeral. You don't get over family losses immediately or ever.

Topher's made it clear that he doesn't like the travel aspect of coaching, as it takes him away from his family too much. And I wouldn't be
totally shocked if Casey stuck around Clarkson, but I could also certainly see him coming home. Everyone has a ton of respect for him.
And another ECAC stalwart leaves early:

Quote from: pfibigerYou think Syer would be the front-runner if Mike left? I'd be stunned if that weren't Casey Jones
I'm sure Casey would be their first choice but why would Casey come here? It's a lateral move and he loses scholarships, he is building a profile at Clarkson where his credit rating is basically unlimited, and he has to follow a legend. Not to mention that Cornell may be a pay cut.
I can see a Clarkson head coach leaving for BC. For Cornell? It only makes sense to screw over the guys who took a chance on you if you're getting a big promotion.

I thought I was going to have to be the one to say this. Clarkson is a really good job. Alma mater is nice, but I think naming a guy "associate head coach" is a sign that he's the aetheling.
CHN announces their all-star teams. (https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2019/04/02_All-CHN-Teams-Announced.php) Interestingly UMass is the only FF school represented.

There is certainly a history of Clarkson coaches ending up at BC. Cegarski and York come to mind. Both were BC grads (coming home), but York had a stint at Bowling Green in between the two schools.
You seem to be saying that a big promotion goes around money, yours or your players. But for some people other things, such as "coming home" is as, or more important. I have no idea how Casey feels about that. It has been said that he and Schafer are close.
Quote from: Jim HylaYou seem to be saying that a big promotion goes around money, yours or your players.
I am saying there is a vague but real hierarchy of programs. Absent personal attachment (you played there, you grew up there and have deep roots, your spouse is offered their dream job there, your kids work there, there's a special type of niche porn only available from there, etc) it is the decisive factor in the upstream/downstream movement of coaches as they have success (or not).
Head coaching jobs are fungible. Moving is a pain. So, there has to be some motivator for defection. It can be the challenge of starting from scratch (like UMass and ASU) or it can be a front loader of cash the school parks on your lawn (factory schools that traditionally suck like OSU). The coach wouldn't screw over his old friends, draw a Pitino reputation to himself, and lose his favorite bar unless he had A Plan, and The Plan typically involves moving up the ladder.
And on that ladder... we're not Bentley, but we're also not Minnesota. Or even Denver. And in Casey's case, Clarkson and Cornell occupy the same rung.

I don't know how you can say that for Casey they are on the same rung. I can think of many reasons why living and coaching in Ithaca would be more appealing than Potsdam. And that's not knowing anything about his spouse +/or any kids.
They certainly wouldn't be on the same rung for me, would they for you?

As with Brad Chartrand I think people just naturally translated their outstanding on-ice leadership skills into an expectation that they'd do well as coaches. We've had other guys like that more recently (Greening, Bardreau) who similarly didn't go into coaching, and one (Topher) who did but burned out on the horrific demands of the job.

In the conference so he's already quite familiar, and he comes on the heels of a legendary coach failing to fix a shitshow which suggests there is NOTHING but upside. Plus while small SLU is a prestige gig with ahem "total commitment to the program" by the university (translation: if you have your eye on a functionally illiterate blue chip prospect they'll figure it out somehow).
He seems like the heir apparent here but Mike will likely only leave Lynah feet first, so, again, if that's what he's looking for...
You think Syer would be the front-runner if Mike left? I'd be stunned if that weren't Casey Jones (or Topher coming back to coach).
What ever happened to Stephen Baby?
He's a VP at JP Morgan in Chicago.
How does Trotsky feel about that?!

Sturm is actually on the Wild. The article said they were excited to have him. 13:20 does certainly seem impressive for his first game after playing college hockey less than a week earlier.
FWIW there's a rumor on USCHO that Fox has informed Carolina he will not sign with them. So either he is an exceptionally honest lad, racked by the guilt of wasting Carolina's time, or he is interested in signing somewhere if his rights are traded.

Oops.::doh::
Fox named a co-captain at Sucks for next year. Guess they think he's staying.
Boston-centric magazine picks (https://www.hockeyjournal.com/first-look-at-2019-20-harvard-poised-for-eastern-supremacy/) Boston team to dominate in 2020, disappears up own asshole.
Per the SLU thread on USCHO, AIC coach Eric Lang turned down the Saints job.

Lang has grown attached to the urban mecca that is Springfield, Mass.

Or perhaps he's not enamored of the vibrant living in Canton.
Fox gone? (https://nypost.com/2019/04/30/rangers-land-stud-harvard-defenseman-adam-fox-in-hurricanes-trade/)

Fox just traded to Rangers, will apparently sign, so good news for the Red and for the Blueshirts. For Sucks, not so much

Good. Good.
Can't imagine the Rags would trade anything above zero value if they didn't already have an understanding that he would sign. A little surprised it's not a sign-and-trade, but perhaps that introduces complexities they wanted to avoid?
Not sure if signed players may be traded while the seasons is still on.
Adam Fox's rights were traded to the Rangers and the expectation is that he's going to sign this summer. Double win for me as a Ranger fan.

I believe if they sign him this now it will automatically burn a year on his ELC and make him eligible for an expansion draft in 2021

Interesting point, but everything I'm reading is that his signing is imminent, so the Rangers must mot be too concerned about that.

My understanding is that he will not need to be protected, as 1st and 2nd year NHL are not eligible for the draft. Colorado did put Cale Makar in the position of needing to be protected by playing him the the playoffs. It does steal a spot from someone else who will now go unprotected.
There was some thought that Carolina had they signed him would've burned the year and made him eligible. The Rangers I guess are in a different situation. Regardless he's gone and I feel a lot better about next season.
It's official (https://www.blueshirtbanter.com/2019/5/2/18527307/official-new-york-rangers-sign-adam-fox-to-entry-level-contract) — Fox signs with the Rangers
He aint never gon be Hobey Baker now.
A mention of Leaman in the mix for Ottawa after a bit about Krueger and Buffalo.

1. On Sunday, Southampton hosts Huddersfield Town to close its Premier League schedule. By Wednesday, its former chairman, Ralph Krueger, is officially a free agent. According to multiple sources, Krueger is rising on Buffalo's list of coaching candidates. He's got a real shot at the job. John Shannon reported earlier in the week that Tampa Bay assistant Todd Richards is no longer a candidate. There is a belief Jacques Martin is out, too. Sheldon Keefe is only leaving AHL Toronto for a better situation. I think Edmonton is more likely for Dave Tippett. Sabres GM Jason Botterill spoke to Krueger before hiring Phil Housley in 2017. I can't find anything with a cursory Google search, but I wonder if there is a connection between Krueger and Botterill's father. Dr. Cal Botterill, a prominent sports psychologist, teaches at the University of Manitoba and has longtime Hockey Canada connections. Krueger is from Winnipeg and is a longtime international hockey participant.
2. Ottawa's list includes Dallas assistant Rick Bowness, incumbent Marc Crawford, NCAA Providence's Nate Leaman, AHL Belleville bench boss Troy Mann, Martin and Toronto assistant DJ Smith. GM Pierre Dorion will pare down this group over the next couple of weeks. Tippett is the favourite in the Alberta capital, with Smith and Dallas assistant Todd Nelson also possibilities. In Anaheim, I assume Dallas Eakins until proven otherwise.

I had to do mental check and say, no, our guy was Jeff
Lehman. The proverbial up-for-a-cup-of-coffee Cornell president before the trustees decided his mission statement for Cornell was too weird for their liking: "life in the age of the genome ... wisdom in the age of digital information ... sustainability in the age of development." Didn't say anything about fundraising or putting Brown, Dartmouth and Penn in the rearview mirror.
