Seniors:
O'Brien
Donaldson - As per Arthur on Senior Night, he'll be doing "...real estate private credit at Peakhill Capital in Toronto, Ontario." Best of luck, Sean!
Wallace - St Thomas [CCHA - Transfer Portal]
DeSantis - Greensboro Gargoyles [ECHL]
Keopple
Early Pro Departures:
Castagna - CGY [Wranglers ATO -> ELC]
Stanley - OTT [Belleville ATO -> ELC]
Godspeed, boys. Make us proud.
Non-Graduate Transfers:
Cournoyer - Transfer Portal
Early Departure - Strong Possibility:
Walsh - if it's happening, will probably be in the summer, as I outlined in the Worry Zone thread. [BOS]
Early Departure - Low Possibility:
Fegaras - [DAL]
I don't see any of the sophomores or freshmen leaving; the rest of the juniors should almost certainly stay.
Slightly off topic but any rumblings about the date for the annual banquet?

No team who actually wants that player, wants them to stay for their senior year. If a drafted player stays for their senior year, it's because the NHL team doesn't really care.
This is really bad...
I was hopeful we'd retain everyone except Castagna, but feels like the junior class is collectively deciding to jump? Bearish indicator for Walsh too (and I assume Castagna is a lost cause). Fegaras will probably sign as well unless Dallas doesn't want to give him a contract.
Sad, sad, sad. Losing to Denver in 2024 and BU in 2025 regional finals loom large. Those were the opportunity.
If Cornell wants to break through to the Frozen Four, it needs to retain its best players four years.

EVERY year is a rebuilding year. Get used to it - or drive yourself insane.
This is not remotely true in recent Cornell history. For example, going into 2024-25 we lost one player who was in the lineup (to graduation). No one left early, no one transferred.

That team had exactly 1 drafted player that wasn't a Freshman ... Hank Kempf, a 7th rounder. This year's team has 7 drafted players that aren't freshman, and 2 that are.

OK, but my point is that not every year need be a rebuilding year. In recent Cornell history, most years have not been. 22-23 another good example. Stienburg (third round pick, over a point per game) returned, and so did everyone else. We've had very few early departures over the years. Until now, I guess.

I said very few, I didn't say none. Look back the last 30 years, you'll see just how few guys left early and how many great players we retained four years. Baby, Murray, Greening, Ryan, Stienburg, many other draft picks could have left after phenomenal junior seasons.

If you want a team of draft picks, you have a team with a lot of early departures. The CBA sets that up. Now more than ever.
So either we lament not enough picks but have a lot of four year guys or we celebrate better perceived talent and know that the best guys are three year deals. Frustrating but reality.
Good luck to the guys leaving. I hope they represent Cornell well and are good examples of the program developing pros so more high level talent continues choosing Cornell.

Asking earnestly: what changed under the CBA recently such that more players would leave early? It has been true for many years that a team has four years to sign a player after they matriculate, no?

Maybe we're working with different definitions of rebuilding? I think replacing all those players from last year to this year was tougher than replacing a few top players from this year to the next. Especially given how good our freshman class looked this season.
Now, if you're looking for pessimism, I don't think there's been enough talk about the possibility that some players leave unexpectedly via transfer portal.

Yep. The new CBA rules say you have 30 days of exclusive negotiation after the completion of either the degree or 4 years of study, whichever comes first. Before, it was a flat 4 years iirc, which really sucked when you drafted an 18 year old, he played in the USHL for a bit, and then you either had to sign him after his sophomore year or lose him.
That being said, if guys WANT to do 4 years and then sign with their draft team, they're still very much able to. Teams don't want that though because of the worry of draft dodging once you finish year 4. Unless they're pretty ambivalent about the guy as a whole and think he caps out as an AHLer you can call up occasionally, they're gonna push to sign after 3, which sucks, but it is what it is.

Fair enough - I guess I'm using "rebuilding year" as a euphemism for "down year," which I expect next year to be even more so than I did this past season.
As for possible transfers, well, yeah, that's always been a possibility. Given no one has transferred other than Robertson I'd think it's unlikely we lose any impact players that way, but obviously no one can say.

Right, but that means the latest CBA is no worse (and actually slightly better) for retaining players than it's been in the past. Which is why I'm surprised Stanley is leaving given that traditionally this type of player has stayed four years.

Yeah, when the NCAA-CHL agreement went through, they had to change the rules on draft right length because then you'd have CHL guys entering the NCAA and the like.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting Stanley to leave - if you told me a dman was signing I'd guess Fegaras if only because Dallas perennially needs right-shot defensemen. But, I mean, Casey's been bringing in more dmen for this year too. So we get into chicken-egging whether Stanley saw the writing on the wall or if he wrote it himself, lol.

That, in particular, hasn't changed in a while. My point is just that everything is more fluid now. Expect a lot more turnover each year. Now, this is all relative. I'd expect Cornell to be relatively insulated from transfers as compared to many other schools (not entirely immune, but OK shape). But still, players are changing teams faster than underwear right now. If Casey and the staff want to keep up, they need to constantly be on the lookout for new players to bring in. And rightfully so, you've even said it yourself. So that may squeeze players out - and it's just a mindset that 4 years is kinda like, a lost thing. The coaching staff has to be perpetually prepared to lose players, and that mindset just seeps in and becomes like a self-fulfilling prophecy, in a sense. Again, relatively, maybe not so much at Cornell. But it's pervasive and so it would stand to reason there will be a trickle down effect on Cornell.
By the same token - as I've said before the start of each of the last few years when there's been doom and gloom about the upcoming season's prognosis - this is so commonplace in college hockey now, that I wouldn't expect Cornell to be any worse off (and maybe better) than most other teams in this regard. Players will come and go more frequently, but they also have a lot of avenues to replace them. This is happening everywhere. Half of the teams in college hockey must have had 10 new players on their roster - some as many as 17 - this season. That would be ridiculously unheard of even 6-7 years ago.
And if by some miracle, you can keep that to 5 or 6, regardless of who it is, you're in great shape.

We lost more than half our active roster last offseason.
Yes, meaning that next year an overwhelming majority of our team is going to be underclassmen.
Maybe we're working with different definitions of rebuilding? I think replacing all those players from last year to this year was tougher than replacing a few top players from this year to the next. Especially given how good our freshman class looked this season.
Now, if you're looking for pessimism, I don't think there's been enough talk about the possibility that some players leave unexpectedly via transfer portal.
Fair enough - I guess I'm using "rebuilding year" as a euphemism for "down year," which I expect next year to be even more so than I did this past season.
As for possible transfers, well, yeah, that's always been a possibility. Given no one has transferred other than Robertson I'd think it's unlikely we lose any impact players that way, but obviously no one can say.
I'm more optimistic about next year than I was this year. Fewer guys to replace, and Casey is less of a question mark in my mind (if he ever was one).

If you want a team of draft picks, you have a team with a lot of early departures. The CBA sets that up. Now more than ever.
So either we lament not enough picks but have a lot of four year guys or we celebrate better perceived talent and know that the best guys are three year deals. Frustrating but reality.
Good luck to the guys leaving. I hope they represent Cornell well and are good examples of the program developing pros so more high level talent continues choosing Cornell.
Asking earnestly: what changed under the CBA recently such that more players would leave early? It has been true for many years that a team has four years to sign a player after they matriculate, no?
Yep. The new CBA rules say you have 30 days of exclusive negotiation after the completion of either the degree or 4 years of study, whichever comes first. Before, it was a flat 4 years iirc, which really sucked when you drafted an 18 year old, he played in the USHL for a bit, and then you either had to sign him after his sophomore year or lose him.
That being said, if guys WANT to do 4 years and then sign with their draft team, they're still very much able to. Teams don't want that though because of the worry of draft dodging once you finish year 4. Unless they're pretty ambivalent about the guy as a whole and think he caps out as an AHLer you can call up occasionally, they're gonna push to sign after 3, which sucks, but it is what it is.
Right, but that means the latest CBA is no worse (and actually slightly better) for retaining players than it's been in the past. Which is why I'm surprised Stanley is leaving given that traditionally this type of player has stayed four years.
Yeah, when the NCAA-CHL agreement went through, they had to change the rules on draft right length because then you'd have CHL guys entering the NCAA and the like.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting Stanley to leave - if you told me a dman was signing I'd guess Fegaras if only because Dallas perennially needs right-shot defensemen. But, I mean, Casey's been bringing in more dmen for this year too. So we get into chicken-egging whether Stanley saw the writing on the wall or if he wrote it himself, lol.
Oh I think it's very unlikely Stanley left because he was worried about losing his spot on PP1 haha. It's certainly the reverse - Casey recruited in an extra D because he knew of likely early departures.

Plus, our freshman (gah, I hate first-year, can't we say freshperson or something else instead?) class is now a sophomore class. Which is pretty important too, since now they know how shit works.
Now I'm wondering who gets the captaincy and alternates, especially if Walsh signs.
I think few things would terrify me as much as Fegaras with a letter 😂
the good news about bringing in drafted guys is that someone else has evaluated them positively. the bad news about bringing in drafted guys is that someone with deep pockets is watching their progress closely. you have to accept that these things are a tandem deal. if you want to compare recruiting classes based on number of draft picks you are also accepting a higher than normal attrition. it's not good news that our best players are leaving but it's not surprising so i'm not going to crash out over it.
next year is whatever next year is. it sure as hell won't be the first year i've been invested in a frustrating team in this sport or any other.

I don't think we should panic. If Fegaras leaves, I'm confident Casey can recruit another elite talent capable of logging one penalty minute per game.

Yep. I think Keopple and O'Brien (and Donaldson too but he's moving into a post-hockey career) are also eligible as they didn't play more than whatever amount of games in a season - both only had 2 games one of their years.

I'm pretty sure Keopple is out of eligibility. It's not just "games played" -- he suited up and was on the bench for pretty much every game of his career that he didn't play in.
As for O'Brien, he was injured at some point and did only play one game as a freshman, but I'm thinking he didn't miss the entire rest of that season due to injury. I'm pretty sure he was on the roster and "available" but didn't crack the starting lineup. Besides that, the one game he did play that year was on Feb. 4, about 3/4 of the way into the season. IIRC, if you played any games during a season you're claiming as a medical redshirt due to injury, you have to have played less than some small number of games, and they also have to have been during the first some-percentage-of-the-season (50%, maybe?)

I mean, did Rayhill ever get injured? Because I recall him trying to transfer...
That does make sense for Keopple as a backup, though. I think it was you were supposed to play less than like, 30% of the season? But I might be wrong here.

God, I might cry.
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say Walsh is staying for his senior year. (https://www.instagram.com/p/DYPyhXkDgfC/)
Could always still be wrong, but caption + comments makes me think he's made his decision to come back.

Did you notice that Robertson posted a comment?
Great news!
Big if true. Maybe he talked to Bancroft and didn't want to make the same mistake. I will always value those who stay four years well above those who leave early. Criticize the lack of loyalty of those who ditch, celebrate the loyalty of those who stay. The BearLover way. Walsh will go down as one of the great Cornell captains.

now watch as he signs his ELC within the week, just because I said it looks like he's staying 😂

Oh no, for sure. I just find it intriguing that this is probably like, the third or fourth time I've posted something here and then Jane picked up on it within an hour or so. But probably half coincidence, half she probably keeps an eye on this place 😂

She's posted here before (asking what people would like to see in the Sun's hockey coverage) so I would bet she checks the forum.

Has she??? Probably before my time then.
Hi, Jane 👋

Or she keeps an eye on the same places you keep your eyes on.

I'm sure she's got a friend in Indiana who freaks out whenever a Cornell player posts anything... 😅

You'd have to think.
News that absolutely nobody asked for: looks like part of the team is doing their biannual Dominican Republic service trip. McInchak, Castagna, Stanley all part of it despite being graduates. Also featuring Walsh, Kraft, Catalano, Fegaras, Devlin, Wolfenberg, I think that's Parker Murray in a few of the photos. Pretty sure Schafer is also there? But my facial recognition is pretty shot. They tagged most of 'em in their stories though.
