Barron with a goal and primary assist tonight. Winnipeg leads MTL 2-1 late in the second. 1st multipoint game of his NHL career.

Great that he's getting ice time in the big show.

Named one of the 3 stars of the game.

Imagine knowing the last act of a coach before they were fired was to sign you.

I hope that, during his four years at Cornell, Nate learned that correlation does not equal causation.

Well, of course, and that effectively disarms my joke.

But seriously, it's easy to think of a scenario where there was a toss-up between programs and this coaching staff was the deciding factor. Then, the very next day...poof.

If you enter the portal is that it for your current team?  You don't gotta go home but you can't stay here?  (I know McDonald can't come back for other reasons.)

I was wondering about RPI's Zach Dubinsky in that regard. He also transferred to Michigan State. Interestingly, the 4 transfers to MSU all came from the ECAC.

I'd like to know when the 5 year NCAA eligibility ends.  Was everyone who was an active freshman (or older) player during 2019-20 given an extra year of eligibility?

I'm surprised and sad that there was a much successful poaching from RPI. Smith seems to have the program moving up and yet these guys are bailing.

Maybe they were worried about losing matriarchal protection with Shirley hitting the road.
;-)

I wonder whether all the transfer crap will make it easier or harder to build a program.

everyone got a 5th yr from the NCAA just not from the Ivy League..

In some sports places with big enough SIL offers will certainly have an advantage in the free agent market opened by the portal.

Yesterday the Colorado Eagles assigned Kyle Betts to the Utah Grizzlies, their ECHL affiliate.

No. It only opens the possibility. I guess it could be different for other sports but a Cornell wrestler entered the portal then stayed when the Ivies authorized a grad year. I think the portal authorizes other coaches to speak to you if you initiate contact, or, if you allow it, for other coaches to reach out to you first.

[upprdeck]

ncaa just voted down a request from the Ivies to give everyone the extra yr they lost.  I dont think the grad think is more than just the 1 yr exception though.
