ECAC Early and Grad Departures 2024

[Chris '03]

With all the transfer portal stuff and with folks starting to leave early, may as well kick off a thread to track ECAC movement.

This didn't mention the guy I was expecting to see.

Seger not on the list and I sure hope the two that are aren't thinking about leaving.

This article is specifically about wingers. It links to another one about centers which lists Seger. Idk if the author is reputable but despite what he says, Bancroft was not a bottom 6 forward last year.

Yea sorry but he loses a lot of credibility saying Psenicka is a flight risk, barring something unknown (grades, off-ice issue, etc etc). I think he picked two big wingers in the lineup with decent numbers and just threw it on a page for clicks.

I mean, I doubt Psenicka leaves but he and Bancroft are the two biggest flight risks on the team this year I think. Psenicka was indeed getting some looks a couple years ago and has been invited to NHL camps the past two summers I believe.

Seems about right

Seger still has a grad year?  Go to another school?  I think both Bancroft and Ondrej would be nuts to go pro now. Their games are nowhere near ready for NHL and do they want to toil away in the ECHL or AHL versus getting coached maximally by Schaf to be as ready as possible.   Minor league money is not that good.

Seger played 4 years + sat out the COVID year, so his eligibility is exhausted.

One of the Colgate players in the portal is Ryan MGuire, Pierre's son. Ryan had a productive sophomore year and I'm surprised he's looking for greener pastures. I imagine he'll have plenty of suitors.
