I think few things would terrify me as much as Fegaras with a letter 😂

Well, that would mean he could argue with the ref on his inevitable way to the box.

Sick. 

Fixed it. Please laugh.

Wow, you truly are a lemur on coke.

Lemur noises.

You're a star!

I did laugh

HOW do u do all that so quickly? Do you have a whole staff behind you?

Screenshot and doodle over it with my finger. If I had a staff I'd be making Cornell hockey cards.

Y'all thought this year was the rebuilding year?

We lost more than half our active roster last offseason.

Yes, meaning that next year an overwhelming majority of our team is going to be underclassmen.

Maybe we're working with different definitions of rebuilding? I think replacing all those players from last year to this year was tougher than replacing a few top players from this year to the next. Especially given how good our freshman class looked this season.

Now, if you're looking for pessimism, I don't think there's been enough talk about the possibility that some players leave unexpectedly via transfer portal.

Fair enough - I guess I'm using "rebuilding year" as a euphemism for "down year," which I expect next year to be even more so than I did this past season.

As for possible transfers, well, yeah, that's always been a possibility. Given no one has transferred other than Robertson I'd think it's unlikely we lose any impact players that way, but obviously no one can say.

I'm more optimistic about next year than I was this year. Fewer guys to replace, and Casey is less of a question mark in my mind (if he ever was one).

Plus, our freshman (gah, I hate first-year, can't we say freshperson or something else instead?) class is now a sophomore class. Which is pretty important too, since now they know how shit works.

Now I'm wondering who gets the captaincy and alternates, especially if Walsh signs.

Just give him the P already.

I missed this from the other day, but looks like Winter Wallace is in the transfer portal to use his last year of eligibility.

Good for him. Hope someone picks him up

Updated thread starter with that!

Surprised DeSantis isn't in the portal unless he's ready to move on too.

DeSantis is out of eligibility. Wallace missed a season due to injury so he can play a fifth year as a grad student.

Yep. I think Keopple and O'Brien (and Donaldson too but he's moving into a post-hockey career) are also eligible as they didn't play more than whatever amount of games in a season - both only had 2 games one of their years.

I'm pretty sure Keopple is out of eligibility.  It's not just "games played" -- he suited up and was on the bench for pretty much every game of his career that he didn't play in.

As for O'Brien, he was injured at some point and did only play one game as a freshman, but I'm thinking he didn't miss the entire rest of that season due to injury.  I'm pretty sure he was on the roster and "available" but didn't crack the starting lineup.  Besides that, the one game he did play that year was on Feb. 4, about 3/4 of the way into the season.  IIRC, if you played any games during a season you're claiming as a medical redshirt due to injury, you have to have played less than some small number of games, and they also have to have been during the first some-percentage-of-the-season (50%, maybe?)
