[quote bothman]Guys, Mike must love eating at Subway these days.

Sounds like he's really in the market for grinders.

Seem like a bunch of roll players, which you need, but still waiting for some high impact guys - both for the Class of 2008 and 2009 (admittedly early for 2009).[/quote]

Interesting to note that Cornell winds up with three drafted players in this draft, while Harvard's vaunted recruiting class ends up with zero. Gimme some more of those "roll players"!

As nice as it is to stick it to Harvard, it should be pointed out that incoming recruit Kilcorn was taken #77 in the 2007 draft

The 2008-9 roster has been finalized. We hope:

As Puckhead notes, the only surprise is Derek Punches, a transfer from Wayne State.

Second in goals on the team with 10?  And I thought our offense was anemic!

In his first season at Cushing, (Sean Whitney)played in 29 games, scoring four goals and tallying 17 assists for 21 points. Whitney followed that up with 10 goals and 12 assists as a senior at Cushing, bringing his two-year total at the New England prep school to 14 goals and 19 assists.

So do we finally have a sniper from the defensive position? Or is it too early to tell?

Too early to tell.  For what it's worth (not much), Sean's brother Ryan had 12 goals (including 7 PPGs) and was sixth in total points for the Penguins last year.  However, it would be unfair for us to expect Sean Whitney and Chris Moulson to play like their older brothers.  It would be surprisingly great if they can even come close.

Going from prep school to D1 is a big jump that is made much more rarely today than 15 or 20 years ago.  The last Cornell player to go straight from a New England prep school to Cornell was Sam Paolini.

I urge Polar and others to be patient with Sean Whitney.

...and recall that Paolini barely cracked the lineup in his first year.  Patience.

Some pictures of D'Agostino at the Penguins prospect camp were posted on uscho if anyone is interested. http://www.uscho.com/pictorial.php/131/ (#6,7,20 and 35)

Also some from Braden Birch at the Blackhawks camp http://www.uscho.com/pictorial.php/132/ (#'s 37, 44 and 46). There are also probably a few in here (http://www.uscho.com/pictorial.php/133/) but I don't feel like going through 137 pictures at the moment (it's quitting time :-p)

A few will turn out to be just subs.

Perhaps, but I relish having a deep, solid lineup.
