Wish the source was as credible as the reporting! Is a Defenseman and had 10 points last year????? I mean it is so easy to get the correct info before you post something! As for Matt, as the season wore on I started to have some concern. He would have been a dominant player and potential Hobey Baker candidate. Tough loss, top 6 forwards next year are hurt and we will really need both Lomberg and Shore to be impact freshmen!
That means Maine is losing 4 of its 5 top scorers from this year. You better either have a bunch of stud recruits coming in or are going to need MAJOR, MAJOR improvement from your existing forwards. What about Diamond, would have to think he's a flight risk as well?
Sucks for depth. Good for Matt I guess I still don't think he's near ready.
I don't either.
He has great wheels, but little patience with the puck on his stick, and his speed will be largely wasted at D. Hope for his sake that they play him on the wing.
I wish him the best, though... Guess when you're 23 and you get an offer, it's time to take that next step.
It's getting even harder to imagine an NCAA berth in '12/'13 right about now.
I think Jeff can make a living in the NHL, a la Mike Lundin. There is still a place there for guys who do nothing more than take care of their own end very well. (Maine could use a few of them, come to think of it.)
I'm really surprised by this signing...I think he's a player thats gets better every year he stays,still think another year at Maine would have helped him out...but thats just imo.
