    Re: Michigan Wolverines 2015-2016 Season

    Unless we come up with a few million to donate to the hockey program, I have zero influence who the new coach will be. So it's not something to worry about, IMHO.

    Speaking of Mel- it has been really nice to run into him at the last two FF's- and my dad (a Tech grad) got to meet and talk with him this year. Mel's a great and gracious guy.

      It's completely evident that Tech isn't that great of a school. This is known by reading your response, you did not answer one thing that I asked. I even said that I doubt it happens but you still brought-out your big guns of personal opinion. Why?

        The $5 million a year thing was a joke, right?

          I phrased it wrong, isn't he making $5 Million over 5 years (so $1 Million a year)? Although now after signing that extension it's 10 years. I'm not positive on the exact monetary amount although I am certain that there is a Michigan clause in the contract that says if Michigan gives Tech $1 Million that they can have Mel.

          Yea $5 Million a year would put him in Harbaugh territory and that isn't gonna happen.

            Prior to the extension, he was making 275,000/year plus a retention bonus of 125,000 for each year he remained. Mel owes the bonus back if he leaves, not Michigan paying Tech.

            The new 5 year extension has not been disclosed.

            Tech is a great school, great community, Mel is having the time of his life and would leave Tech totally devastated if he chose to leave for Michigan.

              Who are you bringing in this year? Seems like you're going to lose Miletic to the OHL, but I don't know if he was coming in. I see you at 14F and 9D if Murphy comes in and Werenski stays.

                Miletic was 16-17. Not sure how the class will officially shake out with fewer depth/role players recruited. An expected downgrade at forward, upgrade at defense and goalie will remain an inconsistency until proven otherwise.

                Three critical forwards have left, one to graduation and two to the NHL.
                Larkin - Kyle Connor (expected mid-first round pick)
                Copp - Brendan Warren NTDP
                Hyman - Cooper Marody or Murphy

                Two depth forwards also graduated in Lynch and Sinelli. It is possible for one d-man to convert to F this season to fill out a roster with 15 F and 8D.

                Defense:
                Serville - Nick Boka NTDP
                M Chiasson - Joe Cecconi USHL

                Unless Michigan adds new depth type recruits, there are few candidates to join the team in the short-term as the rest of the verbals are 98's or younger and still in high school.

                The Big Ten continues to be in short supply of high-end talents.

                  I noticed you have a single game with Ferris State this year. Is this going to be sponsored by the USA Hockey Hall of Fame? Only reason I ask is because I see Mercyhurst and Niagara both being home weekends, and if it isn't, that would put you one game over the limit, unless one of those series is going to be one game.

                    I stand corrected, AGAIN.

                      I don't see Mel leaving Houghton. But we'll give you Anastos..........No?.....Darn.

                        Because this entire line of thinking is just trying to bait Tech fans into doing exactly what you chastised him for. And only an arrogant a s s (but one who would have expected to be able to spell the word "pompous" that you mangled in an earlier post) would judge an entire school on three sentences that you yourself trolled out in the first place.

                          Some good OC games, but some not so interesting ones, too.

                            I have a very bad feeling this is gonna be another **** poor year.

                            If Michigan loses ONE of those eight games against that awful group of misfits that need the paycheck, their RPI (no pun intended) will take a huge hit.

                            Lest we forget how bad the B1G is where one loss to anyone but Minnesota can kill your RPI. Let's say Michigan does beat all 8 of those teams. What do they gain? Nothing. If anything, it hurts them.

                            Thanks a lot, Dave. Just had to try to zoom the small in-state schools. Now we're the ones paying the price while you go ruin Toys R Us.

                              7 not-so-hot games, Union is actually good. They won the NC two years ago, granted most of that team is gone now (and they are unranked) but I don't think they are that bad. The BU series, on the road, looks like a prime opportunity to gain a very quality road win (they have to still win though and that'll be a challenge).

                                This is total and complete disrespect! They spelled Coach Berenson's real first name incorrectly.
