Where are our Alumni Playing Now

Quote from: BearLoverbut this upcoming year we are going to have only four draft picks on the team, one of whom was possibly a novelty pick by the Islanders rather than a player chosen for his NHL potential. (Happy to be wrong here, but Andong Song has 1 goal and 2 assists in 100 USHL games.) We currently have only two players in the NHL. Those numbers place us in the middle of the pack in the ECAC and significantly below Harvard. I'm not asking that we be recruit BC-level talent, but if we're going to compete for a national championship we should get more NHL talent than we've been getting. We should have more NHL players than Princeton and Dartmouth, at least.

I forgot about that guy!

Anyway, sure, totally agree, more NHL-caliber talent by any measure would be welcome. I don't fully agree that you can't compete for a national title without it just because the talent profile in college is so much broader. Martin St. Louis and Eric Perrin were dominant college players and neither was drafted, and that was back in the 9 round draft days. Having said that, Cornell under Schafer has pretty much always recruited the kind of really big guys who either get drafted or are clearly not good enough to play in the NHL, so even though draft pick counts are a noisy indicator they are perhaps more relevant to the Big Red than a team that favors small fast guys.

Dwyer Tschantz signed with the Maine Mariners

Ben Scrivens, who retired, I guess, has joined the University of Denver team staff. (He's working on a master's degree, too.)

Aren't team managers previoiusly guys who couldn't skate, loved hockey, and got out of the phys-ed requirement?

I am going to guess that the Cornell equivalent is "Director of Hockey Operations." Joe Palmer for our men's team and Louise Derraugh for the women.

Angello making a good impression at Penguins camp. My favorite sentence in the article: "He crunched Bruins prospect Ryan Donato early on, then followed that with a harder hit on Cedric Pare." The article also says Angello's mother wasn't happy with his decision to leave Cornell early.

Erik Karlsson just traded to Sharks. Another elite right shot defenseman alongside Burns. Left shot defensemen include Ryan, Vlasic and Dillon. Looks like Ryan will play with Burns, Karlsson or Braun - I'd guess Burns given some success last year?

Reece Willcox assigned to the Phantoms by the Flyers today.

Bardreau still playing with the big club, but they're currently carrying 25 forwards, so his time in Philly may not last.

Edit: And it didn't last. Cole cleared waivers today (Saturday) and was assigned to the Phantoms.

Anthony Angello is still with the Pens; he's played in two preseason games and has one assist.

Did we have a one-screen source of who's retired and when? Maybe Jim Hyla can add that to his initial post.

Nice feature on Mitch Gillam, who's trying to earn a spot with Bridgeport in the AHL.

I'll try and update the list this weekend. Probably starting a new thread for this year "Where are our Alumni Playing Now, 2018-19 Edition".

As we have zero cromulent goaltenders, he'll probably be our #1 in Belmont.

How about just "Alumni News 2018-19" to avoid a needlessly long title? (Even though I preferred the monthly threads. The mobile version is 26 pages long fer cripes sake.) The stated purpose of WAOAPN was to document locations and current teams, but it just defaulted to a general update and news thread.
