It certainly didn't take Nico Sturm long to take advantage of his departure from Clarkson. Once again ESPN shows it's deep knowledge of college hockey:

"Wild F Nico Sturm made his NHL debut after the college free agent had signed on Monday. Sturm had 14 goals and 31 assists during his recently finished junior season at Colgate" ::demented::

13:20 of ice time in his first game!  Bruins have a lot of injuries up front?

Fox is in the Hobey Hat Trick.  All 3 nominees are defensemen and all three look like exactly the same frat boy date rapist.

You mean white, male, fit and of college age?

I mean Chip Diller from Choate.

I hear his dad is something important with Goldman.

Would 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...

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.

I could see why he might not want to give that up to coach college hockey. ;-)

Well, that plus his nearly complete lack of hockey coaching experience. :-D

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.

And he's from the Chicago area.

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.

[Trotsky]

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.
