Making the thread with utmost sorrow, but with the end of the Big Red's season, we'll see a lot of Cornellians move on, some to the pro leagues. As such, let's keep it in one thread.

Hank Kempf [Avalanche] - Colorado Eagles (ATO->contract, AHL)
Jimmy Rayhill - In Transfer Portal
Jack O'Leary - Norfolk Admirals (ATO->contract, ECHL)
Tim Rego - Ontario Reign (ATO->contract, ECHL->AHL)
Kyler Kovich - Minnesota-Duluth (Transfer Portal)
Sullivan Mack - Hartford Wolfpack (ATO->contract, AHL)
Kyle Penney - Springfield Thunderbirds (AHL [possibly ATO?])
Ondrej Psenicka - HC Plzen (Czech Extraliga)
Michael Suda - Savannah Ghost Pirates (contract, ECHL)
Ian Shane - Norfolk Admirals (ATO, ECHL)

Players Scouted:
Ryan Walsh [Bruins] - Returning
Dalton Bancroft - Bruins (ATO->contract, AHL->NHL)

Other Drafted Players:
Jonathan Castagna [Utah] - Returning
Hoyt Stanley [Senators] - Returning
George Fegaras [Stars] - Returning
Luke Devlin [Penguins] - Returning

(Please note, this isn't to say I expect everyone on this list to get signed. It's just a point of reference.)

Terrifying.

Who is our starting goalie for next season? Can we get that whole no grad-players rule changed?

This team needs a goalie for next season. Looks like we're going to have to find it from the players/recruits we already have. That's the question mark, and it's a major one. Aside from that we can just hope for an ECAC that is as weak as possible so that we can get an automatic bid again.

Not that worried about the team aside from the lack of goalie.

I would imagine that it is Bancroft and the seniors that we lose, probably don't have to worry about Walsh and castagna leaving until next year. We have tons of talented recruits coming in that should be able to fill in for most of the seniors production, when also accounting for  the development of guys already on the team. For forwards Hiscock, Pelletier, DiGuilian, Pirtle, and Long should be serviceable to good next year which replaces most of what we lose with the seniors. On defense Gorski looks like a good defensive defenseman and Veilleux looks like our next great offensive defenseman.

My main concern next year is in net. They clearly didn't trust Keopple too much this year but I think he had to be the starter. Katz seems a bit small and didn't look great in the exhibition games (all I have to work off of). Our goalie recruit, Roest, got chased from the USHL and not can't even find minutes in the BCHL so that is not exactly encouraging. Maybe Casey can nab us an overage QMJHL guy but if not we can at least hope that our defense is good enough that we can be good with any goalie.

Just a couple hours after the loss and I'm honestly already really exited for next year, mainly because of this great recruiting class.

If Bancroft wants to leave the team after what happened today then he can screw off. I bet he stays though. That's based on nothing other than believing he loves his teammates.

Either way, it's really just a question of the goalie. Find a good goalie=should be back in the NCAAs

I hadn't even thought about leaving until I saw the article about NHL interest in him. It seems like if there's that many bites he would go and his quotes seemed to indicate that too. If he comes back I feel really good about our scoring production.

I missed Devlin, mostly because I have never seen him play lol. Let me add him in.

I don't think Riley Mercer's got a college commitment...

Keoppel or Roest.

It won't change, as dumb as it is.

Ivy rules don't allow grads, as far as I recall.
